I have been working on booking a fundraiser and was asked if there was a limit to the length of time the fundraiser could be open. I tried searching and cannot find anything. It's a RFL fundraiser if that helps with more information.

TIA!
 
HO will give permission for PWS links for FRs for a month, and when you set one up on PWS, it usually gives a 6-week time span between the show date and closing.
Technically, there isn't a limit, although people who order early in the period will want their things, just like pre-orders on a regular show. And there's still the usual "15th of the next month" deadlines for the specials.
 
Has anyone ever had a fundraiser for an organization and requested linkage for each month of the fundraiser....

Like do the fundraiser in April - request the linkage for that month - close the fundraiser
Do another fundraiser in May - request the linkage for that month - close the fundraiser
etc.

I'm not sure if the organization wants to do it more than two months, but at least 2...

Thanks for any insight...
