Organizing a Preschool Fundraiser: Overcoming Tax & Shipping Challenges

[krzymomof4]

I am thinking of putting something together for my son's preschool. I was thinking of just having a catalog type fundraiser. My concern is that the parents won't be able to figure the sales tax and shipping. Has anyone else ran across this problem before, if so how do you handle it.
Thanks

If you look in the fileson this web site there is a great flyer, for adding up outside orders , it is breif but to the point, iam not sure who's it is but it was just posted last week, i have allready put it in all my host folders ! It is GREAT !!!

That's a great idea. If you are worried about customers not adding up the totals right, type up instructions on how to do it and attach those to the order forms. Hope that helps! Good Luck!

Here's the one I use and I think I've posted it in the past. You just figure out what tax rate it is and write or type that in when you print them up. You could even shrink it and put 4 on a page, then cut them up and staple to each catalog. Or you can have them call you if they don't want to worry about figuring it out. Obviously just change the info to yours! Your food and S&H tax might be different from mine, too.

Your right Danielle - someone did post a flyer they use for instructions on adding up orders!! Look under files at the top. It should be under there. You may have to change the tax rates on it.
