How Quickly Does the Organization Get Their $$?

[KimmyDarling]

I'm doing my first fundraiser, and want to be able to tell them how soon they can expect a check. Thanks!

I believe HO mails it within a couple weeks of shipping the products.

Good Luck girl!
I just submitted one and they had their check the next week - about the same turnaround time as the orders from a show.

The one I did in Sept was quick. Had the products one week and the check the next.

I need to pick some brains!! My children's school is having a "craft fair" (first annual) Vendors are supposed to donate product for a raffle and donate 15% of sales. Will be perfect if sales are over $600. However today (4 days before) I was told to bring a check to write to the school at the end of the evening. I told them no, PC would write them a check and they need to know when.Here's my question, should I just do this as a normal kitchen show, write my 15% check and get paid "normal" commission?? Or fight to get them to take it as a fundraiser???

I would fight it; by the time you write them a check and donate a doorprize you're basically doing this for free. It all depends on how much its worth to you. I know people who do fundraisers and give their whole commission on top of what PC gives.

Just did a fundraiser.Products where delivered on Friday (nov 10), check came Monday (nov 13).

No I would fight it as a fundraiser..I'm just thinking if you write a check God forbid but what if you don't make any sales or if sales are small??!!! Your coming out of pocket for no return! I did a fundraiser & had NO SALES it was for a benefit for a kid that was struck by lightning all the vendors were asked to pay $25 for booth setup thats all but I got no returns a few maybe shows & contacts but that's all! And turns out the organizer told me the mother whos son was hurt was a total B*&%H! she wanted to use the $$ for personal stuff rather then report it to the attorney in charge of the benefit bank account that was to pay medical bills!!!!

I had the check before the product. This week, the check came on Monday, and the rest of the boxes cam eon Tuesday.

i did a fundraiser and submitted it. the products came today. was i supposed to give HO tax info or something on the organization?

I do a lot of fundraisers and the host usually gets the check about the same time the products arrive at their door.
