What are the benefits of working with a fundraising partner over running our own product fundraiser?

Working with a fundraising partner eliminates many of the logistical hurdles of hosting a product fundraiser, ultimately increasing your revenue. In a typical product fundraiser, your organization has to make an upfront investment to stock your product. During this process, you risk either buying too much product—which cuts into your profits—or buying too little product, which limits your profits.

From there, you have to figure out where to store your product and how you’re going to deliver products to supporters. These inconveniences can also introduce additional costs and make it even more difficult to host this type of fundraiser.

With ABC Fundraising, you can choose a no-risk fundraiser that requires zero upfront investment, maximizing your profit. Many of our fundraisers offer home delivery, which frees you from making deliveries yourself. We also offer fundraising web stores that help you extend your fundraiser’s reach without going door-to-door.

What makes ABC Fundraising stand out from other product fundraising partners?

ABC Fundraising wins against its competitors by offering the highest profits in the industry. In fact, we guarantee that if you find any identical product offering a higher profit, we’ll help you beat any competition’s profit by a minimum of $100 with free Spinners® or Scratch & Help® cards.

What types of organizations work with ABC Fundraising?

Many fundraising organizations work with ABC Fundraising to run simple, profitable campaigns. Our main clientele consists of:

• Schools
• Churches
• Sports teams
• Nonprofits
• Clubs
• Scout troops

How do we choose the right fundraising product for our needs?

ABC Fundraising offers plenty of fundraisers to match the needs of every organization, no matter your size, mission, or risk tolerance.

For example, a school group with 30 or more members has the selling power to meet the 300-card minimum for a high-profit discount card fundraiser, while a small church youth group might prefer to run a faith-inspired candle fundraiser with a minimum of only 25.

How does fundraising with ABC Fundraising work?

To get started with ABC Fundraising, you’ll fill out our online order form (or, if you’re looking to host a chocolate bar, cotton candy, lollipop, pretzel rod, or Hi-Chew® fundraiser, call us at 888-212-1344). Let us know which fundraiser you want to host and whether you want sales brochures, an online web store, or both. Depending on your plans, we’ll send you beautiful order-taking brochures or set up your online storefront. You’ll also choose whether you want to invest in home delivery or deliver the products yourself.

From there, you’ll run your fundraiser for two to three weeks. For in-person sales, place an order based on supporters’ orders and receive your products within two weeks. Then, you’ll deliver your products and tally up your earnings!

What is the profit margin on ABC Fundraising products?

Profit margins vary depending on the fundraiser you choose, ranging from 55% on chocolate bars to 70% on popcorn, all the way to a whopping 97% on Spinners®. We’re committed to offering the highest profits in the industry—if you find an identical product offering a higher margin, we’ll make it right.

What are the most popular product fundraisers?

Our most popular fundraisers are:

1. Discount Cards

2. Cookie Dough

3. Popcorn

4. Flower Bulbs

How long does it take to receive our fundraising products?

After you submit an order, your products will typically arrive within two weeks. If you choose a discount card fundraiser, please allow for four to five weeks, as it takes time for us to contact and negotiate with your local vendors.

How much do we pay upfront for an ABC Fundraising campaign?

Many ABC Fundraising campaigns do not require any upfront investment, eliminating the financial risk of fundraising. The only fundraisers that require upfront investment are the chocolate bar, lollipop, pretzel rod, cotton candy, Hi-Chew®, and discount card fundraisers, since these are items you’ll give to supporters as soon as they make a purchase.

How large an order do we need to make?

The great part about ABC Fundraising is that you can find a campaign that fits your organization’s selling capacity. Some, like our Spinners® fundraiser, have no minimum, others have a low minimum of just 25 products, and others are better suited to larger or more sales-savvy groups ready to make thousands of dollars by selling hundreds of products.
