start my fundraiser?

money needed to start your fundraiser.
Q.

run my fundraiser?

School Fundraising.
Q.
Do we need to be a
non profit organization to use the Help Fundraiser?

can be used by any group that needs to raise money for a good cause!
Q.
How much profit will we make?
A. Profit percentages vary
depending on the type of Product you sell.
Q.
What is
Product Fundraising?
A. Schools, school groups and
other small non-profit organizations find many creative ways to
raise funds -- from Candy sales to bake sales, Chocolate sale,
spaghetti dinners, auctions and school carnivals to more aggressive
advertising, affinity programs, grant writing and straightforward
donation requests. But few fundraisers are more reliable for
reaching specific fundraising goals than a good product sale.
Product
fundraising has been around for over a century. It typically
involves the purchase and re-sale of popular consumer products by a
non-profit group whereupon the group sponsoring the sale keeps a
portion of the gross sales. Supporters pay for the product when the
order is placed or upon final delivery.
Q.
Why is Product
Fundraising Effective?
A.
Product
fundraising usually involves a professional fundraising company -
and often a sales representative - which serves as liaison between
the product supplier and volunteers responsible for the fundraising
drive. These companies provide advice, trouble-shooting, support,
products, guidance and other valuable services that can reduce
volunteer time and energy and maximize sales. Special events and
other "do-it-yourself" fundraising methods are more labor-intensive
and frequently yield smaller results. Product sales work because
results are fast and people like buying products for a worthy cause.
Last year, non-profit groups netted approximately $2 billion by
selling products. Become an effective School Fundraiser and see
the
results in No time.
Q.
Does a
Product Fundraising sale require "Door-To-Door" Solicitation?
A.
For some
people, product fundraising has mistakenly become synonymous with
the term "door-to-door sales." In fact, most product fundraising
sales are made to parents, family members, friends and close
neighbors. A successful product fundraising drive does not require
volunteers - young or old - to canvass neighborhoods. Parents are
very involved with these programs. Our School Fundraising Service
does not require door-to-door sales.
All
you have to do is encourage people to make their Online Purchases
through your Schools’ Fundraising Site.
At last you have a way to raise
School Funds with ease.
Q.
How do we alert parents and friends to the fundraiser?
A.
Once you've made arrangements with High School Fundraisers for a
specific month, Our School Funds (High
School Fundraisers) will
provide you with a letter to parents and friends that you can
customize for your organization and copy, and you should distribute
it as widely as possible.
Q.
Are there any other ways to promote the fundraiser?
A.
We will send you a special School fundraising banner
you can include on your school's website. The banner will link to a
splash page explaining the fundraiser, and will include a link to
the subscription signup page.
Q.
Does High-School-Fundraisers.com ever sell or trade email or mailing
address information?
A. No. We
do ask if members would be interested in receiving mail from
High-School-Fundraisers partner businesses, but we feel strongly
opposed to the practice of selling or trading addresses and to date
have not done so. For more information, see our privacy policy.
Q.
Is it
appropriate for Children to participate?
A. School fundraising drives
are often a child's first taste of volunteer service. If presented
and supervised properly by a parent, coach or teacher, a fundraising
project to support school or extra-curricular activities can build a
child's confidence, self-esteem, sense of responsibility, good
manners, planning and budgeting skills, to name a few.
However, children
should never be allowed to sell door-to-door unless directly
supervised by a parent or responsible adult. According to the High
School Fundraisers, fundraising companies, school and organization
leaders and parents must be diligent in assuring that children
participate in fundraisers in a safe manner.
Q.
Who are Product Fundraisers?
A.
Product
fundraisers are companies that provide products and services to
schools, parent-teacher organizations, booster clubs, church groups,
youth sports leagues, scouting groups and other non-profit
organizations to assist them in their fundraising programs. These
companies have the knowledge and expertise to help groups select
safe, effective approaches to fundraising. There are large national
companies that specialize in fundraising as well as many smaller,
family owned businesses that collectively employ thousands of men
and women who justifiably take great pride in helping schools and
other organizations raise money. Product fundraisers are also
sometimes referred to as fundraising distributors.
Q.
Why should companies benefit from Fundraising Efforts?
A.
Fundraising companies provide products and services to help schools
and non-profit groups. Like all other services schools may utilize,
professional fundraising services do come with a price. But the
rewards of a good relationship with a fundraising company are well
worth the investment.
