It doesn’t matter whether you’re a coach looking to get your team some new uniforms and equipment, a church leader hoping to go on a youth trip out of state, or a teacher planning a great fieldtrip for your class, you’re going to need to raise funds in order to make these things happen. One of the unfortunate drawbacks of all the youth activities and trips that we plan for our kids is that so few of them are completely free. This is where using a fundraising company like GoFundMe can help.
Yes, there are lots of options out there and ways to go about raising money for your organization. Perhaps you’ve considered a bake sale, a carwash, or even just asking for donations. While those are all great ideas, using a fundraising company like A Plus School Solutions can be a great option that offers more benefits and fewer drawbacks. Here are some of the reasons you should consider a fundraising company for your next youth fundraiser event.
Low Overhead
One of the biggest drawbacks with conventional fundraisers is that they require some sort of overhead or expense to make them work. Running a bake sale? You’ll need the baking supplies (plus the investment of all that time). Doing a carwash? You’ll need a space and supplies for that, too. However, with most of our products, you only order the actual quantities of products that you need. That way, there’s no overhead cost involved. Order the number of items you need, then we fulfill the order. No extra overhead and no up-front cost.
Great Return on Investment
One of the biggest benefits of working with a fundraising company like A Plus School Solutions is that it offers a great return on investment. Because there is so little (or no) up-front cost to your organization or school at the onset, you’re able to raise funds without any risk or cost. On top of that, A Plus School Solutions proudly offers the best margin in the industry. That means that you keep more of the funds that you’ve raised and get to your goal faster!
Products that People Love
How many times have you seen a bake sale or garage sale fundraiser where most of the items went unpurchased because they just weren’t appealing? It happens all the time, unfortunately! With our products, we carry items that are universally loved, such as cookie dough, chocolate bars, gourmet popcorn, customized apparel, unique gifts, Elf on the Shelf and much more. You can offer as many or as few options as you want, and because you’ll be giving people choices to order what they like, you’re sure to find something that resonates with just about everyone!
Low Pressure
Have you ever tried to ask for donations for your youth organization? It can be really awkward and uncomfortable, right? Luckily, with a youth organization fundraising company, you’ll be able to offer people something for their donation. Sure, they’re still supporting your organization and helping you reach your goals, but they’re also getting to pick items that they like and want, so there’s less pressure about trying to raise money for your organization. Also, our format allows you to take your time reaching out to prospective donors, so there’s less pressure on raising all your money in one fell-swoop, like there would be for a carwash or bake sale.
All of these (and more) are great reasons to use A Plus School Solutions for your next youth fundraising event, don’t forget that we make sure to use the best Fundraising Management Consulting services. We’re able to accommodate just about any sized group or organization, and we offer the best return on investment of any competitor in our industry.
