I have the opportunity to work with my daughters preschool to help raise funds for activities. The group would like to do a 3 day event and have tables set up with 2 other vendors. I am told that I would not have to be there the whole time. Any suggestions on what to put out to show. It is...

Okay, I feel like this is a really dumb question, but I have to ask it since I might be having my first fundraiser. Yea! I've been searching previous threads and haven't been able to find my answer. Does the host of the fundraiser receive the shipment to distribute to everyone? Or does...

If you get to do a fundraiser for a non profit organization, consider giving the chair/host this option. Do a regular party, in home or online. Tell the host to pick out his/her free, half priced, and discounted items, then let her/him write a tax deductable check for the amount of free items...

OK, so I was thinking about doing a HWC fundraiser. Am I mistaken: Even for a HWC fundraiser the guests can't order the HWC products? This seems a little crazy and counter-productive.

Hello, My name is Coleen and I am a newbie. For my second show I am helping my daughters club in high school to raise some funds. We will have the fundraiser for a month but planning to turn in orders on two different dates Oct 7 and Oct 28 so that the customers who ordered don't have to wait...

OK I just seen there will be a special if we have 2 parties from Oct 1st - 15th I only have one before the 15th so I was thinking I could do a HWC Fundraiser and still earn that prize. Will that count like a party??

I just entered all the orders for a FR I was doing with a local church youth group. The youth pastor and I went to high school together and I grew up in that church. We did a FR together (I solicited her for it) back in the spring of 07 that was ~$1800. She called me again this summer and...

I set up a booth at a local school and sold over $600 in products but no shows or recruits. I think it was still a success!!!! I don't know how to post pics, though, help! I would like to share some pics!

I am going to have a table at a shelter open house and it will be a fundraiser for them... They'll get a % of the orders on that day, and then if anyone books a show they get $3 per show, right? Ideas and tips to get people to place orders and maybe book shows? Thanks!

My friend requested me to hold an Open House type fundraiser at her son's school on September 21. I didn't know that there will be other vendors there, Premiere Jewelry, Mary Kay, and another that sells bags. Any ideas on how I can attract more customers to my table? should I prepare food...

As long as a show is coded as a fundraiser in P3, will the $3 booking bonus automatically go to the charity if I mark booking, or do I have to do something else to make sure that happens? Also, can someone book a show and not buy anything, and still have the $3 donated? Final question...

My first ever cooking show was a fundraiser today. It was for a group at a church. Only 1 person showed up besides the 4 committee members that are from the group. All total with outside orders we got $145 in orders. I left it open and some of the ladies from the group were going to...

I need some help! I was thinking about doing a school wide fundraiser and I want to pitch the idea to the principal. I want to be prepared when I go talk to him. Does anyone have any great flyers that explains how it works? Also, should I plan something for the kids to earn as well? If so...

Hi Everyone, I am trying to put together a letter/flyer that I can send out regarding Fundraising. For Schools, Churches, groups, etc.... I have searched CC for any info, but all I can find is HWC. Does anyone know if this is any different from a normal fundraiser? Or does anyone...

I was approached by the fundraiser comm. of a community group about the possibility of doing a FR in the Fall. There are about 100 members. I'd like to touch base again with the lady and see if they've decided to do it. She said she would keep me posted but I don't want to wait for her to...

I am going Thursday to pitch a fundraiser here at my local library & was looking for some suggestions. My thoughts were just limiting the items to be sold to cookbooks, but I'm open to all ideas out there. I am also thinking that instead of placing the order as a "fundraiser", I'd just give them...

Hi. I am a new consultant. My first party will be a catalog party. And my 2nd is a fundraiser. For the fundraiser, the host wants to be able to take some orders before the show date for people who may not be able to come to the actual show. I'm a little confused on how to enter that...

I've just found out that I will be doing a Fundraiser for Houston Horizon Chorale and have appreciated the letters/ proposals I've found on this site. This group has 110 members!! Has anyone done a Fundraiser of this type before and have some practical suggestions-what to give each member...

I don't have enough Summer catalog for a fundraiser that will start on Tuesday and will end in a week or maybe 10 days. Is it okay if I just go ahead and use the Fall/Winter catalogs since I will be closing the show in September anyway?

So I've been thinking of offering a back to school fundraiser for my son's preschool. The school is relatively small, and I know it won't be a very big turnout, but I wanted to offer them something, come September, my son will no longer be attending there cause he goes to Kindergarten...
