I think the way to start thinking up great ideas is to flip the process: think of something that your target audience is actually interested in and then find a way to raise funds from it. (Hint: the answer to this will never be “more pizza kits”)

Things I’ve seen: tons of creative sponsored events, “Skills Day”, parties with a twist (like “bring your dog to a black-tie ball”)

Bottomline, though: it depends on your audience

Eco friendly fundraisers are something a little different that seem to work really well. There are quite a few groups doing flower bulb fundraisers and reusable shopping bag fundraisers.

FirstGiving.com/ is a great resource for setting up personal fundraising pages. You can inspire your evangelicals to set up an event of their choosing (ie. bike ride, walk, video-game-a-thon etc. and then they have a personal page where friend, family and supporters can either join their event or donate to their cause of choice). This is still a new idea that we are milling around at United Cerebral Palsy, but it may be something that really gives the end user control to creatively raise awareness and funds for your organization.

They also have webinars quite often as well that discuss different tactics from mobilizing Web 2.0 to your evangelicals to fundraise for your cause.

Well, I may be a bit biased, but for the cost (FREE!), I’d spend at least 15 min. a day discovering what fundraising professionals world-wide have done and are currently doing by visiting SOFII- The Showcase of Fundraising Innovation and Inspiration.
