-Bag Packing
One of the best fundraisers ever! You get money for packing other peoples bags. It doesn't take much organization and it is very profitable as there is no chance of a loss.

ceilidhs seem to work well for raising money, i guess things like BBQs or parties could as well.

there was something about writing a frequent newsletter and then getting people to subscribe to it at extortionate costs on the eurojam site but i dont know if anyone actually made money from something like that.
