Fundraising Tips
Plan and set a campaign period
For best result, we suggest that a campaign be limited to three weeks and end by April 30th. The optimal time to start a campaign is between January 1st and April 10th.
Be clear
Your campaign should clearly state what the fundraiser is for, and how it works. 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.
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.
