So this has gotten confusing. I'm waiting on a call back from HO (2+ hours).

Woman from dog rescue wants to hold fundraiser show for the rescue. We did the show (3 hours away from my house and no one showed up-just me and her 3 kids). Yay :) But $350 in orders total so at least it did a little something.

Items to be shipped to her store (no problem-list that as shipping address in P3)
Her home/billing address is different than store-no problem there.

Where I'm getting confused is the address for the rescue to receive the check. I listed the rescue address in PWS under Organization Information. I put the show location as chairperson's home address and shipping address. Does this stuff pull over into P3 or just reside on the web? I want to make sure that the check goes to the right place!

Thanks and sorry if this is too confusing!
 
P3 has a spot for "Contact Address" and "Shipping Address" for the host. Then there are radio buttons for you to choose which one you want the products and check mailed to. The check will go to the same address as the products.

So I can't have the check sent to the rescue in Vermillion, South Dakota, while she's in Sioux Falls?

Last question....I think I have it figured out. I made the chairperson's contact info the rescue address for now (so check will go there) and then her shipping address/show address the same (her store). All the guests are shipping to the chairperson, so as long as I have her shipping option as "Direct to Shipping Address" everything will go there, right?
 


Hi there,I can understand how this can get confusing. It sounds like you have already taken the correct steps by listing the rescue's address in your PWS under Organization Information. This information should pull over into P3 when you enter the show information. However, to be sure that the check goes to the right place, I would recommend double checking the addresses in both your PWS and P3 before submitting the show. You can also reach out to HO for clarification and assistance in this matter. I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Best of luck with the fundraiser show!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I don't have all the addresses for my fundraiser?

If you don't have all the addresses, reach out to your supporters and ask them to provide their mailing information. You can also use social media or email to remind them to send their addresses. It's important to collect this information as soon as possible to ensure timely delivery of fundraiser materials.

Can I use a P.O. Box for my fundraiser addresses?

Yes, you can use a P.O. Box for your fundraiser addresses. However, make sure to inform your supporters that their orders will be shipped to the P.O. Box, as some carriers may not deliver to P.O. Boxes. It's best to check with the shipping service you plan to use to confirm their policies.

How do I ensure the addresses I collect are accurate?

To ensure accuracy, ask your supporters to double-check their addresses before submitting them. You can provide a form or template for them to fill out, which includes fields for street address, city, state, and zip code. Additionally, you can use online address verification tools to check the validity of the addresses you collect.

What if I receive an incorrect address after placing an order?

If you receive an incorrect address after placing an order, contact your supplier or shipping service immediately to see if the address can be updated. Some companies may allow changes within a certain timeframe. If the order has already shipped, you may need to coordinate with the recipient to retrieve the package or arrange for reshipment.

Is there a deadline for collecting addresses for my fundraiser?

Yes, it's best to set a deadline for collecting addresses to ensure you have enough time to process orders and arrange for shipping. Typically, a deadline of one to two weeks before the fundraiser ends is advisable. Communicate this deadline clearly to your supporters to encourage timely submissions.
