When I have a fund raiser, the checks would still be payable to me.. as if it were a show, right? Then PC cuts a check for the organization? I am going over a idea with someone at church tomorrow and want to make sure I have some answers!

Also, do they get the $3 for a booking as long as the person sets the date? Or is it after they have a show and I submit their show? Does that mean that for 6 months the church would get random checks of $3??
 
They would make the checks payable to you. And as long as there is a date on the fundraiser then they will get $3 with the check. They will not keep getting $3 throughout the months
 
It depends what you want to do.I did a fundraiser with a youth group and it was easier to have the checks made to the youth group and then they cut me one big check to pay for all orders.
 
For school or organization fundraisers I ALWAYS have the check made to the organization then they cut me a big check for the total.
 


Hi there! Yes, for fundraisers, the checks are still payable to you as the consultant. However, you would then submit the total amount raised to Pampered Chef, and they will issue a check to the organization. As for the $3 booking incentive, it is given once the person sets a date for their show, not after the show is submitted. So if someone from the church sets a date for a show, they will receive the $3 booking incentive. This incentive is only given once per person, so it would not be ongoing for 6 months. I hope this helps clarify things for you. Good luck with your fundraiser!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Who receives the payments in a Pampered Chef fundraiser?

In a Pampered Chef fundraiser, the payments are typically collected by the consultant running the fundraiser. The consultant then processes the orders and ensures that the funds are allocated to the designated organization or cause.

How is the money distributed after the fundraiser?

After the fundraiser concludes, the consultant will calculate the total sales and determine the percentage that goes to the organization. The agreed-upon amount is then sent to the organization, usually within a few weeks after the fundraiser ends.

Are there any fees deducted from the fundraiser payments?

Yes, there may be some fees associated with processing payments, such as credit card processing fees. However, these are typically minimal and are factored into the overall fundraising plan to ensure the organization receives the maximum benefit.

Can the organization receive payments directly?

Generally, the payments are processed through the consultant, and the organization receives its share after the fundraiser is complete. Direct payments to the organization are not standard practice in Pampered Chef fundraisers.

What happens if there are issues with payments?

If there are any issues with payments, such as discrepancies in the amount raised or delays, the consultant should be contacted immediately. They will work to resolve any issues and ensure that the organization receives the correct funds as promised.
