Raising funds for your school group can be difficult. Between the planning, overhead costs, and fundraising fatigue that usually comes from parents and families getting consistently hit up by their students, getting enough money raised for your choir, band, sports team, cheerleading, theater, art group, dance, FCCLA, FFA, etc. can be extremely challenging. While you can always do “tried and true” school fundraising ideas – bake sales, car washes, etc. – working with a local fundraising company can make the process significantly easier. Lucky for you, A Plus School Solutions offers plans to help you raise more money, make your fundraising simpler, and boost your group’s budget this year.
Fundraising Experts
In layman’s terms, fundraising companies are experts at finding solutions and options for raising money. It’s literally all they do, so they’re very well versed in offering the best fundraising avenue for each individual organization. Fundraising companies have multiple avenues to explore – such as cookie dough sales, popcorn sales, candy bar sales, holiday gift sales, game truck rentals, color runs, and much more – to help match the best fundraising option with your needs and your group. This gives you more flexibility, more options, and more creativity so that you’re not offering the same exact fundraising solutions that you’ve always tried and offered before. With the wide variety of options we offer, you’ll be able to find a fundraising option that you and your donors/contributors will actually enjoy.
Better ROI
With many fundraising options, there’s at least a marginal overhead involved in setting it up. For example, a car wash requires supplies, plus a location to host the event. Selling branded t-shirts or apparel requires you to purchase the items upfront and then float the expense until you’ve collected from your supporters – and that’s if all the merchandise gets sold and there are no hiccups. With any of these “traditional, DIY” fundraising options, you’re cutting into your revenue and fronting a lot of the expenses yourself.
Alternatively, when you work with a fundraising company, you’re not fronting any expenses upfront, and you’re keeping more of your money with each sale. Overhead costs are significantly lower with a fundraising company, and most groups keep over 50% of the money they earn from sales with absolutely no upfront expenses out of pocket. This allows your group to raise the funds you need without stressing the budget you already have, while also matching your fundraiser to your exact needs and audience.
