Do I need to contact the charity I want to do a fundraiser for? or just send them a check once I get it from PC. I also want to do a fundraiser for a elementary school in a low income neighborhood. I am not sure if I would feel comfortable asking the parents to sell the stuff. I am not sure how to go about this. Suggestions please.

It is always a good idea to contact the charity you want to do a fundraiser for before starting the fundraiser. This allows you to make sure that the charity is aware of your efforts and can provide any necessary support or resources. It also ensures that you are following any guidelines or requirements set by the charity.For the fundraiser for the elementary school, you could consider reaching out to local businesses or community organizations for donations or sponsorships instead of having the parents sell items. You could also organize a fun event or activity, such as a bake sale or car wash, to raise funds for the school. Additionally, you could consider setting up an online fundraising page where people can donate directly to the school. Be sure to involve the school administration and parents in your planning and keep them updated on your progress.
