Spring semester fundraiser ideas for college clubs
Spring means more time outside and a full calendar of campus events. Lighter, cold treats sell as the weather warms.
Money never touches Cornell Craves. Students pay the club directly over Venmo or Zelle, and there is no commission or fee.
Ideas for spring
Bubble tea
A campus favorite that batches well.
Ice cream and cold treats
Best for warm afternoons. Make sure the pickup keeps them cold.
Cookie boxes
A reliable seller year-round.
Use the season
Outdoor pickups are pleasant in spring. Check whether the space needs a reservation and plan a rain backup.
Finish strong
Spring is the last chance to raise money before summer. Plan a final drop to fund next year's budget.
Frequently asked questions
What fundraisers work best in spring?
Bubble tea, ice cream and cookie boxes suit warmer weather, and outdoor pickups are easier.
Does Cornell Craves take a cut of the money?
No. Students pay the club directly through Venmo or Zelle. Cornell Craves never handles or holds the money and takes no fee.
Who can use Cornell Craves?
Clubs must be legitimate Cornell student organizations, and new clubs are reviewed before their first drop goes live. Ordering is for current Cornell students with an @cornell.edu Google account. Cornell Craves is an independent student project and is not run or endorsed by Cornell University. It does not replace any Cornell approval, and each club stays responsible for following university and county rules.
