Answers to Fundraiser FAQs

What is the minimum number of boxes we must sell?

Who can do this fundraiser?
_{ANYONE! Schools, homeschools, community groups, teams, individual persons… there are no restrictions.}

Is there any cost for shipping?

Should we charge sales tax?
_{If your organization is tax-exempt, you may submit a copy of your tax exempt certificate to us to have it apply to this fundraiser if your state allows this. Documentation must be submitted BEFORE your fundraiser starts. NOTE: all tax-exempt orders must be shipped to the address on your tax-exempt certificate and be paid by the organization’s credit/debit card. If your organization is not tax-exempt, the amount due for taxes will be deducted from your total amount raised, thus we advise charging customers sales tax so you earn the full amount. We provide $32 and $33 order forms that include tax (rounded up) to make it easier for collecting.}

Are there any incentives for selling?
_{Ideas/options for incentives are emailed to you in the starting instructions. Incentives reduce the amount of cash awarded to the organization, but can increase participation to offset this cost.}

What fundraiser materials are provided?
_{Once the agreement is filled out, we email you a PDF of the order form for you to print. This allows fundraisers to start very quickly. Promotional materials to promote your fundraiser are also provided… social media images, sample email, sample posts – as well as add’l hints.}

Does this fundraiser have an online option?
_{Yes, with your fundraiser you are given an online fundraiser option via our online fundraising page. (a credit card processing fee of $1.50 per box is added to online orders so the organization earns the full amount) The online order form on this page collects customer info and payment only – the orders are not shipped individually. All in-person and online fundraiser orders are shipped together with free shipping to your organization so you earn the full 43% back.}

Can we pre-order sample cards?
_{Yes, an order form is provided to buy sample card boxes. Giving each participant a sample card helps increase sales. Ask each participant to donate $1 for their sample card and apply it towards your earnings – or use the pre-ordered card boxes to fill fundraiser orders.}

Recommended Fundraiser Timeframe
_{Fundraisers are typically open for about 2 weeks (start on a Friday and include 3 weekends).}

When do we get paid our Fundraiser earnings?
_{For in-person fundraiser orders, you will send back a tally sheet compiling all the in-person orders and include the $17 per box sold payment – keeping the $13 box earnings so you are paid immediately for your fundraiser.}

^{For online fundraiser orders, you will be sent an email notification every time someone orders from your fundraiser. But you don’t have to keep track! At the conclusion of your fundraiser you are sent a spreadsheet that lists all the orders, who purchased them and who to credit the sale to. Online fundraiser orders are $1.50 more per box to help cover the credit card processing fees so you earn the full amount. The $13 a box earnings will be mailed to you via check at the close of the fundraiser.}
