I have a friend who is doing a HWC fundraiser in VA for me - I live in AK.

Last Friday I had a FR cooking show for a cat rescue I volunteer at. I decided to donate my entire commission (cooking show or fundraiser - we aren't sure how we are putting in). So, at the very minimum, the Rescue will get 22% of the show sales. I put notes on the cattys that she handed out...

So, I think I read on here a while back (from Scott, I think) about doing a batter bowl fundraiser. So with great excitement I have promoted this as an option. Now, I've had a group take me up on it, so I called HO about a large order of small batter bowls and they say I have to get it...

Ok.. I know that you are thinking this should be in the Fundraising thread but this is a consultant question. I have never done one before and I was wondering what percentage do we get as commission or do we get any at all? I mean I am not a greedy person I am just wondering!

Is it possible to do a fundraiser in May that the check does not go to the American Cancer Society? The fine print on the HWC flyer says all contributions are made in the form of a check to the ACS. I have a group of women that are raising money for the August 3-Day Walk and would like to tie...

I'm in the process of negotiating a number of fundraisers and I'd love the financial benefits to be described to me in a paragraph or two. If a non-profit sells $1000 in product, how much do they get? $5,000? $10,000? I realize that consultants only get 15% but I could use an easy formula...
