Fundraising Tips

Set your fundraising goal:

How much money do you need to raise for your project or community?

Plan and set a campaign period:

For best results, we suggest that a campaign be limited for two — three weeks. The optimal time to start your campaign is from December through January.

Set a minimum order amount:

Consider setting a minimum order amount. This helps to ensure your organizers and volunteers get maximum return for their efforts. We suggest a minimum order amount of $10.00.

Be clear:

Your campaign should clearly state what you are fundraising for. If participants know what you are raising money for, and how much of the sales goes to the fundraiser, they will be more likely to support it.

Plan around an event:

Consider planning your campaign around a related event such as a school or community event. This will help community members who need help with to place online orders.

Encourage participants to support your cause:

Participants can place their order on the West Coast Seeds Fundraising website.  The fundraising website provides product information including product photos, descriptions, and growing instructions.
