I had a great Fundraiser so far our total is >$531, and we have near $300-$400 more coming.

I am psyched about this one. It will help with getting my name out there.

We set it up like an open house and I made Jalapeno Popper Pizzas that everyone loved. I have to email the recipe to the bank so they can post it.

I also got four bookings. Yea!!!
 
How exciting! Just curious, what was the organization?
 
Congrats! I'm trying to get info. together to start fundraising...more details please! :)

RELAY FOR LIFE one of the teams from our local bank had this fundraiser. My team will be having a PC Bingo April 23rd. Hopefully we can get quite a few orders that night as well as booked shows. For each show booked I offer an additional $7 to make the donation an even $10. My Aunt Sharon is a cancer survivor and is on the committee, and I approached her about fundraisers so she approached me to be a team captain. I'm not sure who came out to be the one on top with this situation.

I think it is possible you are on the "losing end" of this one. Team captain is a big job. I think the benefit you are getting is good will and getting your name into people's hands! Way to go!
 
Congrats I am doing a fundraiser this month for the womens ministry at one of the local churches. Pray I will do as good as you.

I do hope all of your fundraisers do well. People are out there and buying we just have to find them.
 
I know that's right! I hope to do more fundraisers myself!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I determine the total amount raised from my fundraiser?

To determine the total amount raised from your fundraiser, you should review the sales report provided by your Pampered Chef consultant. This report will detail the total sales generated during the fundraiser, and you can calculate the amount raised by applying the agreed-upon percentage that goes to your organization.

What percentage of sales goes to my organization?

The percentage of sales that goes to your organization typically ranges from 15% to 30%, depending on the specific agreement made with your Pampered Chef consultant. Be sure to clarify this percentage before the fundraiser begins to understand how much will be contributed to your cause.

How can I track the progress of my fundraiser during the event?

You can track the progress of your fundraiser by regularly communicating with your Pampered Chef consultant. They can provide you with updates on sales and participation levels. Additionally, if you have access to an online fundraising platform, you may be able to see real-time sales data.

What should I do if my fundraiser did not meet my expectations?

If your fundraiser did not meet your expectations, consider discussing the results with your Pampered Chef consultant. They can offer insights into what may have affected sales and suggest strategies for improvement in future fundraisers. Additionally, evaluating your promotional efforts and outreach can help identify areas for enhancement.

When will I receive the funds raised from my fundraiser?

The timeline for receiving funds raised from your fundraiser can vary. Typically, you can expect to receive the funds within a few weeks after the fundraiser ends, once all sales are finalized and commissions are calculated. Your Pampered Chef consultant will provide you with a timeline specific to your event.
