What type of fundraising programs do you offer?

We have several fundraising programs available based upon your organizations needs.  Our first program is based entirely online.  Your customers will get a link to follow to our store to purchase their fudge.  Then we handle everything else, and you'll get a portion of the proceeds.  This is the simplest and fastest way to setup your fundraiser.  Generally this type of fundraiser should be run for 3-6 weeks to be effective.

You use these sheets to keep track of individuals and their orders.  You then place one collective order and receive all of the fudge in one shipment, which you can then distribute to the individuals.  You should spend 2-3 weeks collecting orders from individuals before submitting the orders to us.  The fudge should take approximately 2 weeks to be shipped to you. 

How do our customers order?

You'll be given a link to a fundraiser specific listing on our store to share with your customers.  The link will bring them right to their checkout where they will be able to select from any of our available flavors.  Then all they have to do is enter their shipping information, finish the checkout, and then it's all done!  We will ship the order out and you'll receive a portion of the proceeds.
