School Spirit Fundraising Items

I ran across a great website the other day that gives several school fundraising tips that also promote school spirit -- EverythingElementary.com. This website sells school supplies and also talks about selling items such as magnets, bumper stickers, mugs, keychains, etc. to raise funding for your school. They offer a large online selection of these items for you to purchase at great prices; you can click on the banner below and save 10% on orders of $100 or more off of their already low prices.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Fundraiser

Name of Fundraiser: Krispy Kreme Dougnuts and Coffee Fundraisers

Profit Potential: Varied, dependent on location and product sold

How it Works: Krispy Kreme offers several delicious ways to raise funding for your school!

1. Traditional Doughnut Sales -- Using this method, Krispy Kreme offers doughnuts to non-profit groups at a reduced price, which they can then resale for full retail price (or higher). Please check with your local Krispy Kreme store for ordering details.

2. Certificates** -- Instead of selling boxes of doughnuts, you can sell certificates to customers to redeem for one dozen Original Glazed doughnuts at any participating Krispy Kreme retail store. Using this method, you don't have to worry about carrying around boxes of doughnuts, and your customers can go get doughnuts at their convenience.

3. Partnership Cards** -- If your school or organization is within 30 minutes of a Krispy Kreme store, you may want to consider selling Partnership Cards as a fundraiser. With a Partnership Card, customers get a free dozen Original Glazed doughnuts with the purchase of a dozen of their choice. Their card gets punched each time they use it and they can use it up to ten times (limit of 3 free dozen per visit).

4. Coffee -- In participating markets, you can sell Krispy Kreme's Signature Coffees as part of your fundraiser. Krispy Kreme has four delicious coffee blends: Smooth, Bold, Rich and Robust Decaf. You can sell the bags of coffee solo or as a great pairing with their doughnuts -- your school or organization's profit can be $3.00 or more per bag. Contact your local Krispy Kreme store manager for further details.

**Please Note: Partnership cards and certificates are vaild only at participating Krispy Kreme retail stores, and are not redeemable at grocery stores, convenience stores or any other location that is not a Krispy Kreme retail store.

Current Cookie Dough Fundraiser

Name of Fundraiser: Current Cookie Dough Fundraising Program

Profit Potential: Up to 45% of cookie dough order total

Each 3 pound tub of cookie dough costs $12 and will make approximately 4 dozen cookies. A minimum of 96 units/tubs must be sold. The checks that your customers write for the fundraiser are made payable to your organization so the organization gets their profits upfront, and then they are just invoiced by Current for the amount due on the units sold. Your organization will earn 35% commission for up to 210 orders; 210 orders and above will net your organization a profit of 45%.

GoodShop Online Shopping Mall Fundraiser

Name of Fundraiser: GoodShop.com (GoodSearch.org Online Shopping Mall Fundraiser)

Profit Potential: Approximately 3% of the total sale (can go up to 20%)

How it Works: GoodShop.com is part of the Goodsearch.org fundraising search engine that gives money to your school or charity for each search performed through their website. The GoodShop Online Shopping Mall Fundraiser works like this -- every time you click over to one of GoodShop's partner merchants (like Gap, eBay, Macy's, Land's End, Sears, Target, etc.) from the GoodShop.com website and then make a purchase, your charity or school earns money (approximately 3% of the total purchase amount).

GoodSearch will send each organization a check once a year in December for the funds earned through the prior 12 months ending Sept. 30 providing the organization has accrued $20 or more. If the organization has earned less than $20, the funds will be allocated on a pro rata basis to those organizations which have met the minimum payment requirement.

Goodsearch.org Fundraiser

Name of Fundraiser: Goodsearch.org

Profit Potential: One cent for every search performed

How it Works: Goodsearch.org is a fundraising search engine that gives money to your school or charity for each search performed through their website. Goodsearch.org's web results are provided by Yahoo, so they are relevant, quality results. There is nothing to buy or sell; once your school signs up as a valid organization, all you have to do is go to the Goodsearch.org website, select your school and then perform a search -- for each search performed, your school will earn a profit. Just think about it -- how many searches do you perform on Google, Yahoo or MSN everyday? If you multiple that by the number of people in your organization and then by 365 days a year, you could come up with a pretty easy and effortless revenue stream! Many schools and churches have signed up for this easy fundraiser -- sign your organization up today and start earning through searching!
