1. Community Art, Craft or Bake Sale.
Ask for donations of art, crafts and/or goodies from throughout your local community and sell them in a Weekend Community Fair, Market or Bazaar to raise money for landmine action.

2. Ask local shops to support your activities.
Offer to dress their window display with posters and sculptures you have created to increase awareness about landmines. Perhaps the shop would collect money to go towards a large community donation and place a donation box next to the cash register.

3. Ask shops and businesses to help sponsor your activities.
Write to shops, businesses or food & beverage companies asking them to sponsor you by supplying some of their product and sell the items to raise money for landmine removal and survivor assistance either door-to-door or outside of local shops and restaurants.

4. Create a LANDMINE FREE ZONE.
This might be at a park, playground, assembly hall, public facility or school. Pledge to raise funds to clear the equivalent area of minefield over the next term or year. You can also get in touch with representatives in your local government and ask them to officially name that space a landmine free zone.

5. Be creative in making up visual displays.
Keep track of your fundraising target by making a target to stick on the wall, which could be colored in each week to show how close to hitting the target the school is getting. You could also create a target around a theme, such as using shoe cutouts to symbolize limbs lost to landmines and getting one step closer to a mine-free world. Feel free to get as creative as you like!

6. Carol in the Community.
Get together with friends or members of your community group to sing holiday carols door-to-door throughout your community and ask for donations to put toward mine clearance or survivor assistance.

7. Food stalls.
Each year groups bring in food and set up stalls in the corridors at playtimes to sell to fellow students. Bake sales are always popular and you could also set up a mock minefield that students must walk through to get to the food stalls, thus raising awareness and funds for landmine action.

8. Put a Cap on Landmines.
Inspired by the suggestion of the students at Sir William Mulock Secondary School in Newmarket, Ontario, Put a Cap on Landmines involves bringing a toonie to school to put toward a donation for landmine action, in exchange for the authorization to wear a cap at school for the day. ~ $2 clears approximately 1 square meter of minefield. ~

9. Loonie Landmine Action.
Every single dollar donated makes a difference! 100% of ALL donations received are put directly toward landmine action. ~ There are an estimated 5.5 million students in Canada. If each student donated one dollar nearly 2.5 million square meters of minefield could be cleared!! That's 2 ½ times the size of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada's largest city in terms of area!! ~

10. Take a Slice out of Landmines.
Encourage your teachers, student council or classmates to organize a pizza lunch day and put the proceeds from the sale of the pizza toward landmine removal efforts. Call a local pizza place and explain what you are attempting to do, maybe they will sponsor the event by donating the pizza!

11. Organize a Dance-a-thon, Swim-a-thon, or any other type of …-a-thon.
Run a sponsored walk, swim, silence, dance-a-thon or another type of activity to raise funds for Survivor Assistance programs.

12. Participate in a marathon.
Get sponsored to participate in any type of marathon across Canada and donate the proceeds toward survivor assistance.

13. Spread the word on the Give the Gift of a Changed Life campaign.
Give the Gift of a Changed Life in a friend, family member or colleague's name making sure to tell others about this unique gift-giving opportunity. Email friends landmine survivor information and encourage them to participate in Give the Gift, or take the Give the Gift letter to local stores and shops and ask them to post it to help increase survivor aid and assistance.
