Fundraisers: Understanding the Benefits & Details

[PCDani]

am not getting how the Fundraisers work... I know they get a % of sales, and so much for Bookings, but can someone explain to me exact details? I have looked in the files section and maybe I am just having a "duh" moment.. LOL but I am not getting their benefits... Thank you .. and sorry for asking such a crazy question ... %^>

The only benefit a Fundraiser gets is a percentage (10 or 15 %) of the sales. The Chairperson can get the monthly host special.

The other thing that benefits the fundraiser is bookings. For every booking added to the fundraiser show PC will add $3 to the check.

Do the fundraisers have to total enough for a show?

 

[pamperedharriet]

Yes, miniumum sales for a fundraiser are the same as a cooking or catalog show--$150.

The fundraiser makes 10% of the sales under $600
The fundraiser makes 15% of the sales over $600

You submit the whole amount as you normally would do to PC. They will cut a check to the organization based on the above formula and add $3 for each booking placed on the fundraiser when you submitted the fundraiser to PC.

If you have more questions you can also go to Consultant's Corner and click on Policies and Procedures. There is a section about Fundraisers which might list what you are looking for.

I hope this helps you out.

Log on to Consultant's Corner and read page 5 of the Policy Manual. That might help clear up a few things too.

Did they just change this? Last time I did a fundraiser, it was 15% when it was over $500.

To encourage Fundraisers, I donate a portion of my commission so that they are making more (5-10% depending on the cause) and offer another $2 for bookings so that it is $5 a booking instead of $3. $3 sounds like such a pittance to me.

It's been this way for quite sometime. You can read this in Policies and Procedures.

I know Help Whip Cancer is different--is that what you are thinking about?

Me too. People gripe about only getting 10-15% when the candle fundraisers will give them 40%. And they ALWAYS do candle fundraisers!!!
