Enhancing the Lives of Nursing Home Residents One Volunteer at a Time
At this time of year, I always receive requests for holiday fundraising ideas. First, you’ll want to check out these 10 Christmas fundraisers I shared back in 2019.
Today I’m adding four more fundraisers successfully hosted by a variety of healthcare facilities. I’ll include links so you can contact the organizations directly for more details.
The other day, a reader asked for fundraising ideas for a specific purpose. The residents of her assisted living community want to raise money to help support the people of Ukraine.
I love that question, and here’s why. When the current war in Ukraine began in February, we all took notice and looked for ways to help the Ukrainian people. Now months have passed, and sadly, the war is becoming “old news”.
Perhaps you noticed that I’ve posted no new fundraising suggestions in quite a long time. That’s because I felt like I was completely out of ideas.
But after doing a bit of research, I discovered four more excellent money makers. They come from healthcare organizations in the US and the UK.
As always, I’ll include links so you can contact each organization directly for more details. And be sure to check out the fundraising archives for over 100 other lucrative fundraising ideas.

The past two years brought unique financial challenges to senior living communities. The high cost of purchasing pandemic-related supplies, compounded by costs associated with staffing shortages, resulted in these organizations being forced to tighten their budgets.
That’s where we, as volunteers, can help! Today I’m sharing four more fundraisers you can host to raise money for special activities and equipment to enhance the lives of your residents. (You’ll also find over 100 fundraising ideas in my blog archives.)
As always, I’m including a link to each organization that came up with the idea, so you can contact them for more details.

A couple of my readers recently asked for suggestions to raise money for holiday activities at the nursing home. Back in 2019, I shared several ideas for Christmas fundraisers. I hope you’ll check them out. However, I realize some of them might not be doable this year because of the pandemic.
The good news is there’s a fundraiser that has become even more successful because of COVID-19. It’s the coin fundraiser.
You’ve probably heard about a coin shortage in our country over the past year. I know I’ve seen signs at a couple of fast-food restaurants asking customers to pay with debit or credit cards instead of cash. That’s because they don’t have enough coins to make change.
But now we need to answer an important question. Is there really a coin shortage? Well, not exactly.
