Successful steps for a profitable fundraiser:

  • Planning session - Set financial goals, fundraising time frame (we recommend 2 weeks for a fundraiser) and make sure you stick to the set time!
  • Alert community about fundraiser.
  • Promote fundraiser through parent letters, posters and community announcements.
  • Hold a "kick-off" rally, which educates the kids on the fundraising programs, and build enthusiasm to reach fundraising goals.
  • Start the fundraiser!
  • Monitor progress and provide encouragement and incentives to keep the kids motivated.
  • Once the fundraiser is complete, collect the order forms and money.
  • Tally the results.
  • Fax or email us the order form and mail payment to Southern Heritage.
  • Schedule a delivery date with Southern Heritage.
  • Set time and place for student and parents to meet to pick up delivered products. Have parents and teachers to volunteer to help distribute product in an orderly fashion.
  • Check for damaged products and any mis-orders and make the necessary arrangements with us for replacements.
  • Have the student deliver their products that they sold. A personal thank you letter by the students can't hurt.

    Enjoy the fruits of your labor and start thinking of ways on improving your next fundraiser.
