FUNDRAISING IDEAS
TO RAISE MONEY FOR BUSES FOR THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON

Contact us to be added to the list of schools and groups in need of sponsors to pay for buses. Email us a picture to be posted next to your name/group.

Use this fundraising card, or use it as a model to make your own. Print it on cardstock and distribute it to your congregation, community group, friends, neighbors etc. and get contributions: MS Word file; PDF format

Approach union locals and AFL-CIO local councils in your area to sponsor your bus. The UAW, HERE, and UFCW Union Internationals are endorsers of the march, as well as teachers unions from several major cities. See contact list of AFL-CIO labor councils; labor endorsers.

Hold a press conference, calling on people to contribute to help get you, your co-students, co-workers, your community and your city to the March on Washington.

Approach local chapters of the national organizations that have endorsed the march, or are generally supportive of affirmative action for bus funding. National organizations endorsing the march include the NAACP, the SCLC, the National Organization for Women (NOW), the National Lawyers Guild, etc. See full list of endorsers.
