Fundraisers

When organizations need to raise money, they often use fundraisers to achieve their goals. There are many different types of fundraisers that vary in profit percentages, product type, and target audience. Chances are if one is involved in a school or sporting group, they have already been involved in a fundraiser. If it is their first time coordinating a fundraiser, they might be surprised at how easy it is.

Choosing a Fundraiser

It is important to choose the best fundraiser for the group. One should choose a fundraiser that best represents the group as well as the interest of the group members. After all, if the group members want to sell the product, one will see more success out of their fundraiser.

Types of Fundraisers

There are three primary types of fundraisers; direct sale, brochure sale, and donation programs. If one's group members feel comfortable asking for donations, scratch cards make excellent helpers. Supporters love to scratch off the dots on the scratch card and donate the amount shown. They will then receive a coupon sheet valued at $150 as a "Thank You". Direct sale fundraisers are common and usually consist of product purchased up-front and then sold for profit. These items generally consist of candy bars, Jack Link's beef jerky, smencils, lollipops, and customizable items. Brochure fundraisers require no money up-front and all the supplies needed to run the fundraiser are included. With brochure fundraisers, each group member receives a brochure and order taker, and then takes orders for the product within the brochure. All products are then delivered at a later date to the group members who distribute the product to the supporters.
