Elementary School Fundraising Ideas

How Do Elementary School Fundraisers Work?

Elementary schools raise more money selling products than with any other fundraiser. Schools raise over $1 billion each year selling gift wrap, candy, and cookie dough. If you’re looking for elementary school fundraising ideas, you’re at the right place.

When selling our products you have 2 options:

1. Take orders from a brochure
2. Order a product and sell it

If you want to collect orders and money up front, a brochure sale is the way to go. Each student receives a brochure, order form and money collection envelope. After taking orders, simply send us the order forms and we'll process, pack, and ship your order.

You’ll receive a complete sales report, invoice, and a scheduled delivery date. Merchandise arrives boxed by student and teacher.

If you’d rather show customers a product first, you can submit a purchase order. We’ll ship you the product free of charge. Once you receive it, you’ll have 15 days to make enough money to pay your invoice and keep the rest as profit.
