Determine your fundraising goal
Whether you’re raising money for a school program, youth group, or club, determine your goal amount and how the money will be used. This will keep you on track and motivate your sales!

Choose a fundraising start date
Make sure your fundraiser does not fall during busy times like holidays. Choose a date where most members of your community will be available. Keep in mind that most fundraising events usually last two weeks.

Estimate the number of sellers
Knowing how many people will be participating will allow you to give each seller a goal, and it will allow us to recommend which product will work best for your mission.

Assign a group and finance leader
Designating one or two people to oversee the program and finances will help your team communication to run smoothly.
