Why Our Creative Fundraising Ideas?
Creative Fundraising Suggestions & Tips
Pick an item to wow your customers with a creative catalog fundraiser. These unique, curated products will set you apart from the pack.
Creative catalogs show you mean business. They focus on one item but can offer many varieties of it. These brochures are a good idea for targeting specific niche audiences—for example, hazelnut crème coffee for a book club meeting early in the morning.
"Ultimate Coffee" is our favorite because no day is complete without a cup of morning joe. The donut shop blend is the best to pair with other bakery items and even comes in a decaf version.
If you plan to sell to the other parents at the book club, ensure the smell of coffee is in the air when they arrive—each 11-oz bag of coffee yields around 70 cups.
If you want some name-brand recognition, check out Poppin Popcorn. Poppin Popcorn offers several classic flavors, including cheesy cheddar and buttery caramel. Other unique flavors include cheddar Jalapeno and fruit rainbow. All popcorn is popped in coconut oil, has no high fructose corn syrup, and is gluten-free and GMO-free.
Crazy Socks is another fun brochure to sell that will get people's attention. It offers a variety of exciting options, such as Coffee Time, Pizza Slice, Gamer, and Rock & Roll socks. Another creative fundraising idea for schools is selling their school tumblers. Our tumblers can be customized with your school name, logo, and colors. Teams can show their tumbler brochures to raise money for tournaments or competitions.
The 22-oz. Tritan tumbler is BPA-free, microwave, and dishwasher-safe, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. Tumblers help raise awareness for your cause and regularly remind you of school spirit.

Creative brochures are an excellent option for the variety catalog. One of our favorite creative fundraising ideas is the Heartland Candles brochure. Candles are ideal for a back-to-school teacher gift or a birthday present for Mom.
They're also popular. You'll find them in almost every home (7 out of every 10 Americans, to be exact!), which means they have wide appeal. Candles are perfect for holiday fundraisers if you want to sell "gift-able" products.
Two seasonal catalogs include our fall or spring flower lines. Our flowers are eco-friendly and smell wonderful. With a 100% grow guarantee, they'll beautify anyone's garden. Make sure you know when we offer these programs during the school year.
For this type of fundraiser, you might focus on the niche church market. Sell flowers after Sunday school or at a church dinner to capitalize on your target audience. Yet, there's a large selection of flowers; you can sell them to almost anyone.
It's important to understand the audience you plan to sell to and identify the perfect time and place for the event. A coffee fundraiser during a school carnival doesn't make sense. Parents outside at an event would be too distracted to think about when they might want coffee.
Yet a gourmet popcorn fundraiser would make complete sense. They may already have some, making selling it the perfect gift. Put yourself in the customer's shoes, and you'll be set up for success.
