Raffles and auctions of donated items can raise a lot of cash. Attend a Ducks Unlimited or Pheasants Forever winter fund raiser to see what I mean, it is amazing. They price raffle tickets between 2 to 5 percent of the price of the item and often take in several times the new selling price of the donated item.
I would not sell lifetime memberships too cheaply, it hurt your club's future revenues. Price a lifetime membership so that it will be at least the same cost as paying annually for the next 10 years. If you allow that memberships will increase in price several times over the next ten years you could realistically price a lifetime membership at 15 times the current membership costs. Many gun club price their lifetime memberships at 20 times an annual membership and over 1/3 of their members are lifetime members.
Reading between the lines, if your current memberships only cost $10 or $15 per year I would increase that to somewhere between $25 and $50 per year or more, then offer lifetime memberships. Worst case, the suggestion of higher membership costs should more discussion for alternate fund raisers.
