How it Works
Fundraising doesn't have to be complicated - and we're on a mission to help groups like yours raise money with our simple fundraising ideas.
Experience the simplicity of raising money with us.
1. Sign up for your fundraiser
To get started, simply sign up for one of our fundraising ideas online. Once we confirm the details of your fundraiser we'll send you a confirmation email and mail you the order forms.
Our fundraisers typically run for two weeks and you will earn up to 40% profit on every item sold. For answers to questions about our fundraising ideas, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.
Don't forget to ask about setting up your online store!
Sign Up2. Start Selling
We'll send your customized order forms which you can pass out to your group. Be sure to let the sellers know when to return their order forms and money. Money should be collected when the order is taken.
Sellers should contact friends and family and record orders on their order forms. Keep in mind all products will be hand-delivered by the sellers.
Remember to set a goal - our research shows that groups who set a goal raise more money!
Sign Up3. Collect money and order forms
We'll select a date for your sellers to return their order forms and the money they've collected. This will be the final day of your fundraiser.
Sellers should collect money from their supporters while they are selling. Do not wait until the product is delivered to collect money from supporters.
Frequently Asked Questions4. Submit your results online
Once your fundraiser is complete, you will enter your results on our easy-to-use online portal. We'll email you a link to the portal once your fundraiser has started.
Pro tip: Start entering your orders as the order forms are turned in. This will help save some time at the end of the fundraiser.
If there are other people helping coordinate your fundraiser, everyone will have access to the portal and can enter orders simultaneously.
Sign Up5. Prepare for delivery
Prior to your delivery we'll send you an email reminding you of the delivery details. We'll also send you an invoice due at delivery. Please bring a check for the full invoice amount.
Your products will arrive pre-sorted for each seller. Please have a few volunteers, tables, and the order forms ready when we arrive to help speed up the process.
Keep in mind our products are frozen, so it's important that all products are picked up promptly and placed in a freezer.

Here’s what our customers are saying…

John J. - Elkin High School
Carolina Fundraisers went out of their way to help us promote our butter braid fundraiser. We were provided with all the essentials from order forms to flyers of course, but then the ladies delivered freshly baked butter braids to our Open House so that parents had samples. It was a wonderful way to promote the upcoming sale! The young men who worked with our organization on delivery were personable and cordial in all our correspondence leading up to and on delivery day. It was a wonderful experience!

We love selling Butter Braids each year because the product is easy to sell with a great profit made for my cheer team. Once people taste a Butter Braid Pastry they look forward to us returning each year so they can buy more.
Cheer Squad - West Forsyth High School
The customer service that we have had through Carolina Fundraising has been impeccable! Any questions that we have are always answered quickly and effectively. Their ordering process is very simple. I love that all of the members of my team can work on the order together online so that it gets done quicker. The delivery process is seamless! I am amazed each and every year at how organized they are. It truly makes our work seem effortless. This year, we (the teachers at my school) made a mistake with our order. When I contacted Wendy at Carolina Fundraising about the mistake we had made, she was very accommodating and willing to help us correct our mistake. We are, and will forever be, loyal customers to Carolina Fundraising!
