It was awesome! First, the product came way quicker than I expected. I thought the product would arrive two weeks after the invoice was received, but it came the very next week! Then, you had each participant's order separated into separate packaging, which might not sound impressive to you, but trust me, it is. This, by far, was one of the easiest fundraisers I've done. In fact a co-worker of mine was there when I was unboxing and checking things, and she kept saying, "Oh, this is so nice! This makes it so much easier for you." I was very impressed with how your company organized everything.

The products sold well for the most part. We had planned to sell quite a bit more, but with quite a few of our group either being quarantined as a precautionary or no longer on the team after fundraiser was planned, it didn't go as hoped.

Middle school student huddleHow Do Middle School Fundraisers Work?

Do you sponsor the art club or cheer squad? Or are you the middle school band or choir director? Regardless of the group, the need for money is high. There are so many fundraisers out there. So, how do you make yours stand out? Involve community and family members in your fundraising events to increase participation and support.

With over 100 products to choose from, we can help with various fundraising ideas for schools, including high school fundraising ideas. Schools make about $1.5 billion yearly selling items like cookie dough, wrapping paper, and candy bars. We offer middle schools three ways to sell our products:

  1. Order a product and sell it.
  2. Use a brochure to take orders.
  3. Promote your online store.

These fundraising methods also benefit high school students, making them a versatile option for different age groups.

With direct sale fundraising, choose a product and submit a purchase order. We’ll ship your order so you can distribute it to your students for sale. Your profit is the difference between what you collect and your invoice, helping you raise funds effectively. Payment is due within 15 days from your delivery date, which gives you time to collect the money from your sales. You can also focus on raising money through various events during this period.

Brochure fundraising is your best bet if you’d prefer to collect the money first. We’ll send each student brochures, order forms, and money collection envelopes. Invite students to participate in these fundraising activities to maximize engagement. After two weeks of selling, send us your order forms for processing. We’ll send you a sales report and invoice and contact you for a delivery date for your merchandise. Consider involving local businesses in your fundraising efforts for additional support and visibility.

Raise money without using order forms, collecting and counting money, or receiving product deliveries. When your group embarks on an online fundraiser, your sellers can invite anyone, anywhere, to your virtual store and support your cause without any in-person selling.

Middle school students giving thumb upMiddle School Fundraising Ideas & Tips

  • Order the right amount of product by utilizing our ‘Calculate Your Profit’ tool. This tool allows you to input the number of items you plan to sell and the selling price, and it will calculate your potential profit, which can help you make informed decisions about how much product to order. You can plan fundraising throughout the school year to maximize opportunities.
  • Establish a defined start and end date for your fundraiser.
  • Be sure to meet with your students to explain the process and how much you expect them to sell.
  • Remind your students to collect money upfront with the orders.
  • Make checks payable to your organization.
  • Sellers should only approach people they know. As part of the fundraising strategy, sellers should also sell tickets for various events.
  • Try not to sell the same product as another competing group simultaneously.
  • Encourage students also to make sales online.
More Middle School Fundraising Ideas

Middle school is the perfect opportunity to get students more involved in fundraising. From 11 to 14, middle schoolers gain a stronger sense of independence, so they’re likely to engage more with the social good their fundraisers can achieve. Don’t underestimate them—let their wings soar (with supervision)! Start by identifying a need and setting a goal with them. Then, empower them to sell and succeed.

Our quick snack options are perfect for middle school fundraisers. We individually wrap our pretzel rods, beef sticks, and popcorn, and they are mess-free. Encourage selling these at bus stops or after school in the loading zone. Kids are the hungriest at the end of the day when it’s still between lunch and dinnertime, which is especially the case if they’ve started staying for extracurricular activities.

If your child rides the bus, suggest selling it on their bus before they set off for the afternoon! Salty and sweet is a famous and beloved combo, and students are likely to buy multiple items, mainly when the price is low and accessible. Aim for a price point that works with an average middle school student’s weekly allowance.

Want a healthier middle school fundraiser? Our snack brochure is another quick option but offers more health-conscious options. This package might sell best with parents who must remember to pack a snack or teachers who need energy throughout the day. It has something for everyone: cashew mixes and sweet banana chips.

Middle school students can easily tackle fundraisers with varying price points. We recommend one with a wide selection of items, like the Heartland Goodies & Gifts brochure. This brochure includes various items suitable for holiday gifts, from candles to kitchen gadgets. We’ve designed it to make holiday shopping convenient for your supporters and profitable for your fundraiser.

You can bet middle schoolers get competitive, and we’ve considered that. So, choose between a variety of appealing prize programs. Locker Full of Prizes offers the latest technological gadgets and toys. The more items students sell, the better the options. The prizes are free to the middle school fundraising sponsor, starting at just three items sold.

Consider the ‘Bucks or Dough’ prize program if selling cookie dough or frozen food. Students get to choose either cash or cookie dough for selling. How fun is that! Speaking of a fun idea, create a chart for your middle schoolers to help them track their goal. Have mini-goals for every prize level leading up to their grand goal. Help them see what they can do with some hard work. Review the prize chart with them and get them excited about their fundraiser. It’s an excellent opportunity to develop skills while helping them meet an important goal.

If you’re doing a school-wide PTA fundraiser, consider our ‘Super Party’. It’s the ultimate in fun and excitement. Students who sell eight items get invited to a giant inflatable party with all their friends! Another thing that motivates middle school students to sell is getting out of class to attend a party
