Fundraising at Home School Community: Is $500+ Needed for 15%?

In summary, a Cooking Show Fundraiser is a great way for an organization to raise money. The chairperson is considered the host and the organization receives a cash contribution from The Pampered Chef. The contribution is based on the total guest sales before tax and shipping. 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 and shipping are $600 or more, the contribution will be 15 percent. An additional $3 will be contributed for every future Show booking. 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

I have been invited to do a fundraiser this Friday at the local home school community. I know you can earn 10%-15% but am unsure of what dollar amount puts them into the 15% category. Is this $500+?
 
I'm pretty sure it's $500. Check your P & P to be certain.

Cooking Show Fundraisers
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. However, instead of receiving free, halfprice
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 and 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 percent commission on Cooking Show
Fundraisers, which is increased to 17 percent 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 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.
