Beef Sticks Fundraiser

A beef stick fundraiser is a product-based campaign in which your group sells individually packaged beef sticks to supporters. It works exactly like a candy bar fundraiser but with a healthier, high-protein snack option. Your group orders inventory, distributes it to sellers, and collects money on the spot at $2 to $3 per stick with no order forms required.

Big Fundraising Ideas offers more beef stick brands, more flavors, and better profit margins than any competing fundraising company. We carry People's Choice, Country Meats, and Jack Link's — premium, handmade brands that buyers recognize and trust. Free shipping, no upfront costs, low minimums, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every order.

We offer three brands across multiple product lines: People's Choice classic beef sticks, Country Meats beef sticks, and Jack Link's meat snack sticks. Each brand is available in multiple flavors and sizes to give your buyers variety and encourage repeat purchases.

Yes. Country Meats is available in Sweet BBQ, Original Smoked Hickory, Bold Teriyaki, and Sweet Annie Brown. People's Choice comes in Original, Hot & Spicy, Teriyaki, and a Variety pack. Jack Link's offers Original and Meat Snack Stick varieties. Sizes range from 1.0 oz to 1.5 oz, depending on the product.

Yes, we offer one variety stick option: People’s Choice Variety Sticks. Offering multiple flavors increases your appeal to a wider buyer base and often increases total units sold per seller.

The three brands available through Big Fundraising Ideas are People's Choice, Country Meats, and Jack Link's. All three are nationally recognized brands that buyers find at grocery and convenience stores, making them easy to sell without any introduction.

Profit margins reach up to 55% depending on the product and quantity ordered. One case of 1.2 oz People's Choice beef sticks contains 216 items. Sold at $3.00 each, that is over $250 profit per case. Use our Calculate Your Profit tool on this page to model your specific group size and selling window before you commit to a quantity.

The suggested retail price is $2.00 to $3.00 per stick, depending on the size and brand. At $2.00, the price point is low enough for impulse purchases from virtually any buyer — students, parents, event attendees, and community members all buy without hesitation.

No. There are no upfront costs, no setup fees, and no hidden charges. You pay for your beef stick order within 15 days of receiving the product, giving your group time to sell through the inventory and collect payment before your invoice is due.

No additional fees or charges apply. Free shipping is included on every order. What you see is what you pay — no surprises at checkout and no costs added after the order is placed.

The minimum order is one case. There is no requirement to commit to a large quantity to get started. Use our profit calculator to determine the right number of cases for your group before ordering.

Profit margins increase with order volume. The more cases you order, the higher your per-unit earnings climb. Contact our team to discuss volume pricing for large orders or multi-case programs with a higher total group size.

Processing and shipping times vary by product and location. Contact our team when placing your order, and we will give you an accurate delivery window based on your zip code and the specific product you select. Plan your fundraiser launch date around your expected delivery window to maximize your selling days.

Yes. Beef sticks are high in protein, low in sugar, and contain no MSG. They are a cleaner snack alternative compared to candy bars or other processed convenience foods. People's Choice beef sticks meet federal school nutrition guidelines, making them appropriate even in schools with strict wellness policies.

People's Choice beef sticks are gluten-free and dairy-free. Specific allergen information varies by brand and flavor. Contact our team before placing your order if your group has specific allergy requirements, and we will confirm the right product for your situation.

People's Choice produces beef sticks with a limited ingredient list and no MSG. If your buyers prioritize clean labels and minimal additives, People's Choice is the right brand to feature in your fundraiser. Contact our team for current product specifications on any brand.

Beef sticks are high in complete protein, which supports muscle repair and growth, making them particularly popular with athletes, sports teams, and FFA groups where physical activity is central to the group's identity. At sporting events and practices, beef sticks sell especially well because the protein-and-salt combination appeals directly to active buyers.

Shelf life varies by brand and product, but typically lasts for 12 months from the production date, giving your group a comfortable selling window without pressure to move product quickly. Contact our team to confirm the shelf life of the product you are considering before you place your order.

There is no minimum age requirement set by Big Fundraising Ideas. Individual schools and organizations set their own policies for student participation. For school fundraisers, follow your school's standard guidelines for product-based sales programs.

Most beef stick fundraisers run for one to two weeks. Because beef sticks are an in-hand direct-sale product, the campaign ends when the inventory sells out. Plan your order quantity based on your group size and a realistic per-seller average, then set a firm end date to create urgency. Two weeks is the standard window — long enough to reach most buyers, short enough to maintain momentum.

Contact our team or use the order form on this page to get started. Select your brand and flavor, use our profit calculator to choose your quantity, submit your purchase order, and we will ship your beef sticks directly to your school or organization with no upfront payment required. Your payment is due within 15 days of receiving the product.

Sell at sporting events, field days, and after-school activities where buyers are active and hungry. Set up at school pickup and drop-off when parents are present. Ask sellers to approach only people they know for the highest conversion rate. Establish a daily sales goal for each seller and publicly track progress to maintain momentum throughout the full campaign window.

Our team is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, to answer any questions from product selection through final distribution. We provide guidance on quantities, selling strategies, and handling any issues with your order. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee backs every beef stick fundraiser.

Contact our team if you have unsold inventory at the end of your campaign. Because beef sticks have a long shelf life, unsold products do not need to be discarded immediately. Our team can advise on options, including returning to sellers for a final push, donating to a local organization, or storing for a future event.

Beef sticks are among the top-performing fundraising products for FFA chapters, 4-H groups, and agricultural programs. The product aligns naturally with the values of these communities — high-quality beef, agricultural heritage, and a healthy, active lifestyle. FFA chapters consistently report high participation rates and strong per-seller averages on beef stick fundraisers compared to candy-based alternatives.

Beef sticks and beef jerky are closely related but technically different products. Beef sticks are cylindrical, individually wrapped snacks typically sold at $2-$3 each with a soft, moist texture. Beef jerky is a dried, chewier product typically sold in larger bags at a higher price point. For fundraising purposes, beef sticks are the preferred format because the $2-$3 price point drives impulse purchases that beef jerky bags at $5-$8 do not. Big Fundraising Ideas specializes in beef stick fundraiser programs rather than traditional jerky bag sales.

Beef stick fundraisers are among the highest-converting products for high school sports team fundraisers. Athletes sell to teammates, coaches, parents, and fans at games and practices without any order forms or follow-up. The product is consumed on the spot, so sellers collect payment immediately. The protein and salt content appeals specifically to physically active buyers, which is why beef sticks consistently outperform candy at sporting events.

Both are in-hand direct-sale programs with similar logistics — no order forms, no brochures, sellers collect cash on the spot. The key differences are audience fit and nutrition. Candy bar fundraisers have a higher impulse appeal for younger elementary buyers. Beef stick fundraisers outperform candy at middle schools, high schools, sports events, and in communities where parents are nutrition-conscious. Profit margins are comparable, both reaching up to 55%, with similar $2-$3 price points driving strong participation rates.

Beef stick fundraisers are designed as in-hand direct-sale programs — sellers carry inventory and exchange products for cash on the spot. If your group needs a virtual component, Big Fundraising Ideas also offers online fundraising programs for other product categories. For beef sticks specifically, the in-hand model consistently outperforms virtual alternatives because the product is a spontaneous, low-price-point buy that buyers decide on when they see and smell the product in person.

Three factors work in combination. First, the $2 to $3 price point matches what fans and parents already spend on concessions at games. Second, the high-protein, high-salt composition satisfies active, hungry buyers who are not looking for sugar. Third, the product is individually packaged for immediate consumption — no bag to share, no mess, no need to save it for later. These factors combine to produce faster sales per seller and higher total revenue per event than brochure or candy-based programs.
