Fundraising Ideas & Fundraisers that are easy and profitable

Wowfundraising.com was designed to be the leading source of fundraising ideas and successful fundraisers on the internet. We have compiled the definitive list of 21 Must-See Fundraisers that have proven to be the hottest and most profitable fundraising solutions available.

We understand that your group may have unique needs so we also carry a very deep and comprehensive list of fundraising alternatives.

There are several differerent types of fundraising programs that you need to consider before making your final choice. Here is a quick breakdown of the major types of fundraisers for you to consider.

1. In Hand Selling also known as Direct Sales.

This is one of the simplest types of fundraising. Basically, you buy a product like candy bars, lollipops, beef snacks, smencils, or anything else. Then you go sell them. You make your profit on the markup of the items you are selling. Usually you are going to make anywhere from 30% to 50% of the sales price of your items. We carry the most popular in hand fundraising items such as smencils, candy bars, lollipops, 2 year planners, etc. All available to be purchased online. The majority of our in hand sellers start at 50% profit, require only a one case minimum order and are shipped for FREE anywhere in the contiguous United States.

Take a look at the list below: (Just click on a link to get all of the details)

2. Pre-Sale Fundraisers also known as Brochure Sales or Order Takers.

For a pre-sale fundraiser the members of your group will use a product brochure with an order taker to take orders (pre-sale) from customers and supporters ahead of time. We recommend that you collect the money at the time the order is placed to avoid collection issues later. After you have completed the "pre-sales" phase of you fundraiser, all of the products are shipped to you "to the piece" so you are not stuck with extra products that have not been paid for. Once you receive the products, its time for your sellers to distribute the items to their customers.

For the BEST possible fundraising experience, make sure all of the items are pre-packed for each of your sellers. This means that the items each of your participants sold will already be boxed and labeled with their names. You don't have to do ANY sorting and separating of products, just find each participant and hand them the box(es) labeled with their names. This makes distribution day VERY SIMPLE and avoids possible errors that occur during the distribution day rush.

This is the best option if you need a fundraiser with No Upfront Costs. When you book your next fundraiser with Wow Fundraising, this is what we are going to do for you:

• FREE Brochures, Order Takers, Kick off letters, and Collection Envelopes for ALL of your sellers.

3. Donation Programs.

This is probably the oldest form of fundraising. If you need money, you just ask people to give you some. Asking for donations has taken many forms
(direct solicitaion, donations by mail, donations by phone, online donations and more).

A very popular donation program available is the Scratch Card. Scratch Cards can return HIGH (VERY HIGH) profits if your group is motivated. Scratchcards work best if your participants are comfortable asking for donations. The program is simple and provides a way to assist your organization in asking for donations in a fun and organized way. Here's the basic concept. Each participant gets a scratch card with a book of coupon sheets. Each card has 50 scratch off dots that when scratched reveal the supporters donation amount. People love to scratch the dots and you will often get people to scratch several. Once your supporter has made their donation they receive a coupon sheet valued at over $150.00 as a thank-you. If you would like more detailed information visit our scratchcard page.

4. Discount Cards.

Sell a card that has discounts for other places. One of the biggies is the Papa John's Pizza Card. Cards usually sell for $10.00 and you get half of the money.
