10 Handy Hints That Make Your Fundraising Easy
- Plan first!!
- Prepare your families: Let them know what you are Fundraising
for, how much you need to raise, and what you are selling to achieve
your goal.
- Make sure you gain permission to issue children with product.
Send home as permission slip that must be signed and returned to
School. This makes people responsible for the product and money to
be returned.
- Have an accurate tally sheet of who has taken what and when and
when they bring the money back. Break this into class or team lists.
- Do not under any circumstances issue more than 1 box at a time;
if your sellers want to sell more boxes make sure they have paid for
the previous box.
- Use incentives to encourage early money return. Have a weekly or
daily prize draw for people that return money that day.
- Don’t let the Fundraising run too long. Ideally a 3 week period
is the right length of time to run a Fundraiser. Any longer and
people misplace or spend the money, loose enthusiasm, or give up!
- Have a proper assembly or prize-giving to thank your sellers for
the effort they have given, present prizes, and tell your group how
much has been made.
- Choose products that make your job easy: at Fundraising buy
Confectionery we take back unsold products, don’t have minimum
orders, supply money envelopes and tally sheets.
- Make sure you chase up all of the money owed, the last little
bit is the “cream”. If you let one person get away without paying
for what they have taken then they are stealing from the rest of
your group.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Delegate and share the work with other willing
and trustworthy people if you can. Form a Fundraising committee.
- If you have any tips or techniques that you would like to share
please email or call me and I will share them with other volunteers.

worked with Ken, Brent and the team for a number of years and have found the
quality of their product and their friendly, professional service, to be

Go for it! We have had many successful fundraisers with Fundraising Buy
Confectionery… both school wide and specific groups like our Kapahaka group.
The “guys” at FBC couldn’t be more helpful- or more generous. Nothing is a
problem. We would recommend their company any time and that is why we have
dealt with them for years."

"I have worked with Fundraising Buy Confectionary on many occasions now
co-coordinating school wide fundraisers and syndicate fundraisers. Brent and
his team are extremely supportive and willing to work with. We have recently
finished the new Mars Bars fundraiser and I found it a very easy fundraiser
to put together and coordinate. This fundraiser was very popular with the
children and families and of course the prizes at the end of it were
extremely well received. The staff at FBC are great to work with and have
made my job a whole lot easier with their help and support."
