Fundraising Tips
Want your fundraiser to hit its goal? We’ve helped thousands of groups maximize profits through product-based fundraising — and we’ve learned what works. Whether you're raising money for a school, church, or team, here are proven tips to help you succeed.
Tip #1
General Tips for Any Group
Promote consistently on social media. Share your fundraiser link regularly and use eye-catching images or captions. (Tip: Our free toolkit includes sample posts.)
Set a clear deadline — and stick to it. A specific end date builds urgency and helps supporters act before it’s too late.
Emphasize fast shipping and zero upfront cost. Remind your audience that they’ll get their products in just a few days and remind your group that you keep the profits — no extra fees or inventory required.
Tip #2
Tips for School Fundraisers
Send flyers home in backpacks and include QR codes to digital order forms.
Get teachers involved — make it a class competition.
Offer incentives for top sellers.
Tip #3
Tips for Church & Faith-Based Groups
Announce your fundraiser during services and include a slide in the presentation.
Set up a sample display at the welcome area.
Ask youth groups to help promote through their networks.
Tip #4
Tips for Sports Teams
Set clear team goals (e.g., “Help us raise $2,000 for new jerseys”).
Post team photos with fundraiser links on social media.
Assign roles: one person collects orders, one handles money, one communicates updates.
