It went very well. We did have a couple of issues with parents turning in the order forms (not being able to read the item number) but other than that it went great. It was our first year so we did learn as we went. Next year we will know exactly what to do.

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.

Fundraising Revenue in Elementary, Middle & High SchoolsBest Catalog Fundraiser for Schools

A catalog fundraiser lets your group sell an entire line of one product category: gourmet popcorn, premium candles, spring or fall flowers, custom tumblers, savory snacks, or candy. With a single-item fundraising catalog, supporters see only the products they want, which means faster decisions and higher average order values per order form.

Choose from the six catalog fundraiser categories above and launch your next school fundraising catalog campaign. Browse our popcorn catalog, flower fundraiser catalog, candle catalog, drinkware catalog, snack catalog, or candy catalog. You can then use our Calculate Your Profit tool to estimate earnings based on your group size and goal.

Catalog fundraisers work because they simplify the selling process. Instead of a general brochure with hundreds of unrelated products, a focused fundraising catalog shows buyers exactly one category of products they already purchase. Set your goal, distribute your brochures, and collect.

How Do Catalog Fundraisers Work?

Sponsors looking for a focused, easy-to-run school fundraiser turn to catalog fundraisers because the format is simple and the buyer decision is fast. A school catalog fundraiser follows the same process as any brochure fundraiser, with one key difference: every product in the fundraising catalog belongs to the same category. Your supporters see a focused lineup, either all popcorn, all candles, or all flowers, making ordering faster and the campaign easier to manage.

  • First, select your catalog fundraiser brochure from the options above.
  • We will send you brochures, order forms, and money envelopes for everyone in your group, along with a parent information letter with complete instructions.
  • Your sellers take their fundraising catalog brochures to neighbors, family, and community members, take orders, and collect money on the spot.
  • After you take orders, send us your order forms for processing. We will provide a detailed sales report and invoice, then work with you to schedule your delivery date.
  • Orders arrive pre-packed for each participant, with each seller's items sorted and labeled, making distribution day simple and fast.

Your profit is the difference between the total money you collect and the amount on your invoice. Want to estimate your earnings before ordering? Use the Calculate Your Profit tool found on each catalog fundraiser brochure page. Enter your student count and fundraising goal to see your projected return before you commit to an order size.

Questions About Catalog Fundraisers

Questions
Questions
What are catalog fundraisers, and how do they work?
Answer

Catalog fundraisers are brochure-based school fundraising programs that focus on a single product category, such as gourmet popcorn, premium candles, spring or fall flowers, custom tumblers, or savory snacks. Choose your catalog fundraiser brochure, distribute it to your sellers, take orders from supporters, and send us your order forms for processing. We handle delivery scheduling, pre-sort orders by seller, and provide detailed sales reports. Your profit is the difference between what you collect and your invoice.

Questions
How can I start a catalog fundraiser with no upfront cost?
Answer

Starting a catalog fundraiser is completely free. Select your fundraising catalog brochure above, and we will provide everything you need (brochures, order forms, and money envelopes) without any initial investment. You pay only after collecting the proceeds from your catalog fundraiser campaign.

Questions
What types of products can we sell in a catalog fundraiser?
Answer

Our catalog fundraiser programs offer six focused, single-category brochures: a popcorn catalog fundraiser with 19 gourmet flavors, premium candle catalogs with up to 58 fragrant options, spring and fall flower catalogs with a 100% grow guarantee, drinkware and tumbler catalogs including customizable school tumblers, savory snack catalogs, and candy fundraiser catalogs. Each catalog fundraiser brochure is designed around one product category done exceptionally well.

Questions
Can we sell online, and how does it benefit our catalog fundraiser?
Answer

Yes. You can extend your catalog fundraiser online through our platform to reach supporters nationwide. We provide a dedicated online store where family and friends can shop your fundraising catalog virtually. We can ship orders directly to their homes. Selling online expands your catalog fundraiser reach far beyond your local school community and eliminates the need to collect and coordinate additional order forms.

Questions
What kind of profit can we expect from a catalog fundraiser?
Answer

Your catalog fundraiser profit is the difference between the total money you collect and the amount on your invoice. Flower catalog fundraisers earn 40% profit. Use the Calculate Your Profit tool on each catalog fundraiser brochure page. All you need to do is enter your student count and fundraising goal to estimate your earnings before committing to an order. The more cases you order across most catalog programs, the greater your margin.

Questions
Do we need to pay for shipping on a catalog fundraiser?
Answer

No. We offer free shipping on catalog fundraiser orders with low order requirements. No hidden shipping costs are reducing your fundraising catalog profits. What your group collects is what your group keeps, minus your invoice.

Questions
What support do you offer during our catalog fundraiser campaign?
Answer

We provide comprehensive support throughout your catalog fundraiser. Our customer service team is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. Every catalog fundraiser includes a parent information letter with complete selling instructions, a sponsor fundraiser supply kit, and guidance from brochure selection through final distribution, keeping your campaign simple and stress-free.

Questions
How do we handle order forms and payments for a catalog fundraiser?
Answer

Collect completed order forms and payments from your sellers, then send them to us for processing. We will provide a detailed sales report and invoice, and coordinate the delivery date for your catalog fundraiser based on your group's schedule. Orders arrive pre-sorted by seller, so distribution is straightforward on delivery day.

Questions
How long does it take to receive catalog fundraiser orders after placing them?
Answer

Once your catalog fundraiser order forms are processed, we will work with you to set a delivery date that suits your group's schedule. Delivery times vary by the selected product catalog, but we aim for a quick turnaround. All orders arrive pre-packed per participant, with each seller's items sorted and labeled for immediate distribution.

Questions
Can we customize products in a catalog fundraiser, such as tumblers or other branded items?
Answer

Yes. Our drinkware catalog fundraiser includes options to customize tumblers and bottles with your school's logo, name, and colors. The 20 oz Tahoe Tumbler and 32 oz Polar Bottle are both available with full-color custom designs. Custom tumblers are perfect for showcasing school spirit and serve as daily reminders of your group long after the catalog fundraiser ends.

Students holding creative fundraising productsCatalog Fundraiser Tips for Schools

  • Plan your catalog fundraiser around the school calendar. A school catalog fundraiser depends on timing. Avoid launching during final exams, major holidays, or competing school events. Give sellers at least two full weeks, and schedule your order form deadline and delivery date before any major school activities. For flower catalog fundraisers, confirm the seasonal availability window. Please note that spring and fall catalogs have fixed selling periods.
  • Set individual seller goals with the NOW Selling Method. Tell every seller exactly how many items they need to sell to reach the group goal. Use the NOW Method (Name, Organization, Why) to help students approach buyers confidently with a three-sentence pitch. Set a hard deadline for submitting order forms and money, retain copies of all order forms for your records, and remind sellers of the deadline in the days leading up to it.
  • Use custom catalog products as seller incentives. If running a drinkware catalog fundraiser, order extra custom tumblers and offer them as rewards for your top sellers. A tangible, personalized prize motivates students more effectively than a generic points system, and every custom tumbler keeps your school brand visible long after the catalog fundraiser campaign ends.
More Catalog Fundraiser Ideas

A single-item catalog fundraiser gives your community something focused to buy. It’s not 200 mixed products in a general catalog, but one category done exceptionally well. The best catalog fundraiser for your group depends on your audience, your selling window, and the type of product your community already purchases regularly.

A popcorn catalog fundraiser is our most popular single-item catalog. With 16+ gourmet flavors, cheddar, caramel, jalapeño, fruit rainbow, and more, every buyer finds something they love. All popcorn is gluten-free, GMO-free, and popped in coconut oil. A gourmet popcorn catalog fundraiser works at every school level and in community settings because popcorn is something your buyers already purchase for themselves.

A sock catalog fundraiser is a high-engagement program that generates attention and conversation. Fun-themed sock options, like Coffee Time, Pizza Slice, Gamer, Rock & Roll, and more, appeal to all ages. Students love selling them because buyers stop to browse, pick their favorites, and often order more than one pair. Sock fundraisers for schools are also popular because the product is lighthearted, the price point is accessible, and every buyer leaves with something they will actually wear, making it a strong choice for groups looking for something different from a standard food or snack catalog.

For school spirit, a drinkware catalog fundraiser or tumbler catalog fundraiser featuring customizable tumblers with your school name, logo, and colors turns every buyer into a walking advertisement. The 22-oz Tritan tumbler is BPA-free, microwave and dishwasher-safe, and backed by a lifetime guarantee. Teams can show their custom tumbler catalog fundraiser brochure to raise money for tournaments, travel, or equipment, and every buyer gets a daily reminder of why they supported your group.

Candle and flower catalog fundraisers appeal to broad community audiences because the products feel like gifts. Buyers purchase them for themselves and others, so each supporter often orders multiple items. A candle catalog fundraiser is ideal for back-to-school teacher appreciation, holiday gifting, and community events. Seven out of ten Americans have candles in their homes, which means your sellers are approaching buyers who regularly purchase candles.

Our candle catalog fundraiser options include premium wax blends, lead-free wicks, and fragrant scents across multiple collections. You can choose from 8 highly fragrant options with inspiring messages to 58-item collections priced from $15. Candles are non-perishable, ship without refrigeration, and have a broad appeal to buyers of all ages.

Spring and fall flower catalog fundraisers offer a seasonal angle with strong community appeal. Our flower catalogs feature eco-friendly bulbs and plants with a 100% grow guarantee. If a buyer's flowers do not grow, we replace them. Flower catalog fundraisers earn 40% profit and start at $10.50 per item, making them accessible for buyers of all budgets. Available with both brochure and online selling options.

For church groups, community organizations, and PTA fundraisers, a candle or flower catalog fundraiser is especially effective because the products appeal to parents, grandparents, and community members who want to support your cause and receive something meaningful in return.

The most important decision in running a catalog fundraiser for schools is matching your product to your audience. A gourmet popcorn catalog fundraiser works at nearly any venue, including schools, sporting events, churches, and community gatherings, because popcorn appeals to a wide audience and the price point is accessible. A candle catalog fundraiser works best for holiday and seasonal campaigns when gift-buying is already on supporters' minds.

Avoid mismatches. A coffee catalog fundraiser at an outdoor sporting event, where parents are distracted, moving around, and unlikely to think about their morning coffee routine, is a poor fit. The same coffee catalog fundraiser at a school parent night or teacher appreciation event, where your audience is seated and receptive, can perform extremely well. Put yourself in your buyer's position, and your catalog fundraiser is already set up for success.

The best catalog fundraiser for schools follows three principles: choose a product your community already buys, pick a selling window that gives your sellers adequate time, and set a clear goal per seller so everyone knows what success looks like. Use the Calculate Your Profit tool on each catalog fundraiser brochure page to determine the right order size before you commit.

For elementary schools, a popcorn or candy catalog fundraiser with accessible price points generates the highest participation rates. For high school groups, a drinkware catalog fundraiser or snack catalog performs well at sporting events and extracurricular activities where students are already gathered. Booster clubs and sports teams consistently report strong results with a focused catalog fundraiser because their buyers, like fans, parents, and community members at games, are already in a spending mindset.
