How Do Elementary School Fundraisers Work?Elementary schools raise more money selling products than any other type of fundraiser. Schools nationwide generate over $1 billion annually by selling gifts, candy, and cookie dough. If you’re searching for fundraising ideas for elementary schools, you’ve come to the right place.
Each student receives a brochure, order form, and money collection envelope. After taking orders, send us the forms, and we'll handle the rest—processing, packing, and shipping your order. You’ll receive a detailed sales report and a scheduled delivery date. Merchandise arrives neatly boxed by student and teacher.
First, show customers a product, then take orders. We'll ship the product to you free of charge. You have 15 days to sell enough to cover the invoice and keep the rest as profit.
