Connecting Schools With Great Fundraising Ideas.

Earlier this year an Iowa TV Station did a great report on several local school districts. Some schools raised funds to provided for upgrading technology and others to support music and arts programs.

A variety of fundraisers were used and several schools did magazine sales quite successfully:

Summit Middle School in Johnston sold $65,000 dollars worth of magazines this year. After the company took its 60% cut, the school ended up with $26,000 dollars. Meanwhile students at Parkview Middle School in Ankeny sold nearly $95,000 dollars worth of magazines. Its one of the top fundraising schools in the state. After the company took its cut, Parkview received about $43,000 dollars for its work.

When done well magazine fundraisers can be a great way to raise funds. Many people already subscribe to one or more magazines, so often times your school supporters can just renew their subscriptions.

Don’t you just love the word FREE? I do and so will your students and parents when they can get a free box or tub of cookie dough. Each participant just needs to sell 12 items from the catalog to get their choice of cookie dough flavors.

They call this the The Baker’s Dozen Prize Program since you need to sell 12 to get one free. (get it?) With this incentive your participants can surely find 12 people to sell to. Or just six people if each person buys two. It’s a great incentive that will mean that your group will raise more money since more items are sold.

This prize program is included free of charge to groups with at least 10 actual sellers participating in any one of the following brochure fundraisers:

• Gourmet Preportioned Cookie Dough Fundraiser
• Premium Collection Gourmet Cookie Dough
• The Ultimate Collection Gourmet Cookie Dough
