How long once the fundraiser closes until the orgnization receives it's money? I had two that closed the end of June and neither have received anything yet, so I wondered if a call to HO is due or if it usually takes a little while.

Thanks!

WAAAAAY Overdue!:eek: In my experience, the organization usually has the check within a week of closing the show!
 
I would definitely call, not only because we dont know but for future knowledge...
 
Same here. Usually pretty quick. Definitely call!

Ok, thank you very much. I will call HO first thing in the morning.
 
I have to agree - for the fundraisers I have done the money has gotten there almost as fast as the products within days
 
I just did a fundraiser in July - closed on 7/31 - and got the check in about 2-3 weeks (the chairperson has it in her hands already - probably already cashed it!). I would definitely call HO and find out what the hold-up is. Was the fundraiser shipped to the chairperson? Did you tell them to look for a separate check in a non-identified regular envelope with a "window"? They may have missed it (I don't think it says PC on it).

Yes, both were shipped to the chairpersons. But no, I didn't tell them about a separate check in the non-id envelope. I guess I assumed it would come marked from Pampered Chef. These were my first FRs and I had no idea about that. yikes!! I hope they didn't both toss the envelopes thinking it was junk mail.
 
I do several fundraisers a month and they usually always arrive in about a week unless it is closer to the holidays
 
I would like to do a fund raiser with the schools in my area but realy do not know how to do them. Can any one heip me? JudyMcCrary Fruithurst Al.
 
My name is Judy McCrary I have been with the PC for 4 years . I am in Fruithurst AL. I would like to do fund raisers with the schools in my area but I really do not know how. Could someone help?
 
you could just contact the schools and let them know you do fundraisers. Schools usually go for the fundraisers were they get 50% back from the organization.
