Once-a-Month Car Wash

• Rather than hold a single-day car wash, which brings in money for just an afternoon, consider selling tickets for a year's worth of monthly car washes and conduct a wash event each month. Supporters can pay for the entire year in advance, which provides an ongoing stream of income. In addition to the business generated by pre-paid tickets, monthly car washes will also attract additional drive-by traffic, thereby increasing overall fund-raising at each car wash event.
  
  

Dog-Walking Services

• A great ongoing fundraising idea for teens and older children, creating a neighborhood dog walking service can provide a regular income stream for a group, organization or cause. Related off-shoots could include pet sitting, pet bathing and grooming, and pet waste removal.
  
  

Cookie of the Week Club

• Instead of hosting a one-time bake sale, enroll supporters in a pre-paid "cookie of the week" club where volunteers cook and deliver different home-baked goods to supporters on a selected day of every week. A related off-shoot could include special holiday cookie orders. If you don't have enough volunteers to undertake the baking aspect of the fundraiser, ask local bakeries for donated baked goods.
  
  

Arts & Crafts Day

• Host a weekly arts & crafts day for local neighborhood children. Ask for donated supplies and charge a nominal fee for the afternoon. Parents will appreciate having a regularly-scheduled activity to take their children to, and the weekly schedule will create an ongoing revenue stream.
  
  

Movie Night

• Much like an arts and crafts day, a regularly scheduled kid-friendly movie screening can serve as an ongoing fund-raising idea. In addition to movie admission, you can also raise funds by charging a small amount of money for popcorn, drinks and snacks, which you may be able to get donated from a local grocery store or neighborhood retailer.
  
  

Dance Night

• Secure access to a local church basement, school gym or community recreation center and host a regular dance each month. Change the theme from month to month -- country, rock & roll and Disco, for example. You may be able to augment funds raised from dance ticket sales by soliciting donated prizes from local merchants. Sell raffle tickets during the dance and hand out the prizes throughout the evening.
