Fundraising Step-by-Step
Set a goal. How much money would your organization like/need to raise? Remember, for every $6.00 bag you sell, you keep $1.80. For every $10.00 bag you sell, you keep $3.00.
Develop a plan. Calculate how many bags of kettle corn each member of your group needs to sell in order to reach your goal.
Make a Schedule. Plot your Planning, Promotion, Launch, Fund Drive and Conclusion dates.
Contact us. We'll provide you with free, customized, color order-taker forms so you can begin collecting orders. If you need more, we'll have extra order-taker forms available on our website.

Deliver the kettle corn to your supporters.
Tips/Suggestions:
The more pre-planning you do, the more successful your Fund Drive will be.
If your sellers are kids, send letters/flyers home to parents outlining and announcing your Fund Drive plan.
Have a pep rally to kick-off your Fund Drive.
A two-week sales time-frame is optimum.
Set individual sales goals for each seller.
Pre-paid orders make delivery of the kettle corn easier.
