I know if you make so much you get a certain percentage? Can someone just tell me that part? Thanks!!!
 
You make 15% commission on a fundraiser. the organization will get 10-15% depending on sales. If it is NOT a HWC fundraiser if sales are $600+ they will receive 15% if under $600 they will receive 10%. if it is a HWC they will receive anywhere from 20-25%, if sales are over $500 they will receive 25%. HTH!!
 
If it is a traditional fundraiser $150-599 the organization will get 10% $600 or more they get 15% of sales. The check normally arrives about the same time as the products. The chairperson is eligible to order the monthly host special. They get $3 for each booking from the fundriaser. They are not eligible for free, half-priced or discounted products or the booking benefit.
 
Cooking ShowFundraisers

Cooking Show Fundraisers are usually most appropriate
for organizations that have regular meetings. This might
include garden and women’s clubs, church groups and
fraternal organizations. Other appropriate groups include
your child’s sports team, dance group or any other interested
organization.
This event is essentially a Cooking Show for a select
group. The chairperson for the organization’s fundraiser is
considered the host. The difference is that instead of
receiving free, half-price and discounted products, the
organization receives a cash contribution from The
Pampered Chef®.
Based on sales, a contribution of 10-15 percent is made
directly to the organization.
• The contribution is based on the total guest sales before
tax and shipping. All guest sales must include sales tax.
There is no tax exempt status for an individual.
• If total guest sales before tax and shipping are less than
$600, the contribution is 10 percent.
• If total guest sales before tax & shipping are $600 or more,
the contribution will be 15 percent.
• An additional $3 will be contributed for every future
Show booking from the fundraiser.
• The merchandise and the fundraiser check will be shipped
separately to the ship-to address.
• The fundraiser check must be payable to an organization.
Checks will not be issued to an individual. We cannot
send the fundraiser check to a separate address.
• You can earn 15% commission on Cooking Show
Fundraisers, which is increased to 17% once you
achieve $15,000 in career sales.

Fundraisers and the Host Program
• The organization is not eligible for host benefits.
• The chairperson is eligible to purchase one Monthly
Host Special as a thank you for organizing the Show.
• No Booking Benefits are awarded from a
fundraiser because the organization receives
$3.00 for each booking.
• However, if the fundraiser was booked from
a Cooking or Catalog Show, that past host can
purchase the Monthly Host Special at the
fundraiser Show.
 
I have a high school student who has approached me to raise money for a school trip to Europe. Can she receive the funds directly or does it have to go to the school?
