I suggest reading on here some of the fundraising threads. As to how to find them, you can start calling local organizations and just ask.

1. Choose a Cause: The first step in starting a fundraiser is to choose a cause or organization that you are passionate about. This could be a charity, a local school or community group, or a specific issue that you want to raise awareness and funds for.2. Set a Goal: Once you have chosen a cause, set a realistic fundraising goal. This will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the process.3. Plan Your Fundraiser: Decide on the type of fundraiser you want to do, such as a bake sale, car wash, or charity event. Consider your target audience and choose a fundraising method that will appeal to them.4. Create a Budget: Make a budget for your fundraiser, including any expenses you will need to cover, such as supplies or venue rental. This will help you determine how much money you will need to raise to meet your goal.5. Gather a Team: It's always helpful to have a team of people to help you with your fundraiser. Reach out to friends, family, and community members who are also passionate about the cause and ask them to help you organize and promote the event.6. Promote Your Fundraiser: Use social media, flyers, word of mouth, and other marketing strategies to promote your fundraiser. Be sure to include information about the cause and why it is important to you.7. Collect Donations: Set up a way for people to donate to your cause, whether it's through a donation box at the event or an online fundraising platform.8. Thank Donors: Show your appreciation to those who donate by thanking them personally or through a thank-you note or email.9. Track Progress: Keep track of how much money you have raised and how close you are to reaching your goal. This will help you make any necessary adjustments to your fundraiser strategy.10. Follow Up: After the fundraiser is over, follow up with donors to let them know how much was raised and how their contribution will make a difference. This will also help build relationships with potential donors for future fundraisers.
