Connecting Schools With Great Fundraising Ideas.

In recent years, there has been a growing desire to infuse traditional fundraising events like a product sale with positive values such as eco-awareness or proper nutrition. We at Top School Fundraisers are very happy to be able to refer our readers to examples of such trail blazing groups.

Today I would like to introduce you to “Apples Online”. This is an organization from the Yakima Valley in Washington State that grows a wide variety of delicious apples and ships them anywhere in the country. And while it is possible to order these apples on your own, there is also a plan to sell these apples as a school fundraiser!

Apples Online has a great and informative website which you can check out here. I recommend that you take some time, if you are considering a product sale, to visit Apples Online to learn if their style of online fundraiser is right for your organization. Here is a snippet of their fundraising plan:

There are two types of Fundraisers: (1) Sell bags of apples, and (2) have the customer come later to our website and place orders. You should be able to earn 100% on the bags and 10% on the internet sales. It is not necessary to sell bags to entitle your Fundraiser to sell from the internet, but it is encouraged in order for your customers to try the apples first to see the quality they will be receiving.

If you have heard people in your community wish they could change up the fundraising products they are asked to sell each year, here is a wonderful alternative to tell them about. This could be a terrific move for your school.

If you do try this out, please drop us a line to share your experience. We’d love to hear from you.
