HWC Fundraiser Raises $1390.00 to Help Breast Cancer Patient

[letscook04]

I just got back doing a HWC fundraiser, which came to $1390.00 YEAH!!
My question is that my host had breast cancer and need's to raise $2,200.00 for her cause. My question is since this is a HWC fundraiser will she be entitled to the 25% commission?

It's an HWC Fundraiser, so that goes to the American Cancer Society. If she did a fundraiser with the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk as the organization (which I assume is what she is raising money for), then she'd get 15% (it was more for the HWC).

the increased donation rate is only for HWC fundraisers where PC sends the money directly to ACS and pools it with the donations from the pink products. If she needs a check for her organization, then it's the usual 10-15%.

Yes, that is what the organization is for. That stinks!!! I was hoping that PC would give her 25%. I am giving her some of my commission towards her organization! Thanks for answering my question so fast!!!

That's what I thought! OH WELL!! Thanks Deb!

Anyone else notice that in the June newsletter and this week's Weekly Bites, the fundraiser flyer is listed as one of the items from paperwork order that will be changing for the fall? I'm hoping that it's changing because they're upping the percentages.

DO NOT TAKE THIS AS "THIS IS WHAT'S CHANGING." IT'S MY WISHFUL THINKING.

I lost alot of $$ this month doing Relay for Life fundraisers offering the higher percentage (what I thought would be 25%) AND some of my commission----only like 2 of the 6 didn't sell over $600 to even get the 15%---still have one to receive today and 2 e-mailed me yesterday to do a fundraiser in June--so I'm getting the business but no $$$

Let's tell everyone that Ann started that rumor!

Nuh-uh. I don't want to get in trouble. I just saw that the fundraiser flyers are changing and started thinking about it. You KNOW that HO hears from us ALOT that our customers are less than thrilled with the FR program. Maybe this month with HWC was a trial for a new program.

Or am I jumping too far to conclusions? I can't be the only one who's had this idea.

 

[Brandie]

I wish they'd increase our percentage for FRs, too. We work just as hard (if not harder) for FRs as we do for Cooking Shows--it only makes sense that we should be compensated in the same way.

 

[Cassie1037]

Yes, I am with you Ann... I hope it will be updated

 

[letscook04]

That would so great if they up the percentage on FR!!

I noticed that tooAnd yeah, the percentage the groups get is acutally laughable. I know, when I presented at a school function, I was laughed out of the room. Very embarassing! Yeah, we don;t rais eht eprice of our items but which is easier to understand, 15% or 50%? It's like, Fundraisers are NOT to get the customers that order from the fund raisers. They are meant to make money for the groups we are serving. DUH! What is so hard to understand about that? When you tell someone that we don't raise our $1 cookbook to $2 just so your customer does nto feel cheated, and the we;ll give you a whole $0.15 cents for each one sold, well, the first words I heard was "That's crap". Then someone started laughing.
And yes, it would be nice for us to make more on those too but, if you are working hard on these, you are doing something wrong. All a fundraiser should really be is a glorified catalog show. I have done $1000 plus HWC fundrasiers where all I did was give a chairman catalogs and order forms. When I have had to do a demo, it lasts all of 30 to 45 minutes. To me that's enough work. If you are doingmore, then look at what you are doing. Smaller commission means you should be doing A LOT LESS WORK TOO!
