Pizza Fundraiser

How our Pizza Fundraiser Works

Request your brochures - Call us or complete a Fundraising Purchase and Reservation Agreement and return it to us by fax to 410-630-7080 or scan/email to deb@best-fundraising-ideas.com. We will ship 1 brochure, order form, and collection envelope for each of your participants who will ask their family, friends, and neighbors to buy items from the Pizza Rounds brochure. Orders are taken and money is collected. We offer an electronic payment option for your supporters besides cash sales.

​

Participant Letter - We will customize a participant letter to include why you are fundraising, your goal, closing date, whom to make checks payable to, if applicable, and whom to contact if any participants have questions. The letter will include the steps for a participant to register, the online store web address, your Group ID, tips for promoting the fundraiser through email, text, social media, and instructions for your customers to place orders.

​

Fundraising Goals - Review your goals with your members and set a minimum number of items for each participant to sell. In addition to showing the brochure to co-workers, friends, and family, we suggest asking your participants to email 30-40 contacts, send texts, and post on all available social media to purchase directly with the seller and/or share the link to purchase Pizza Rounds online. Supporters can pay your organization by cash, check, or cash app. You choose. We also provide electronic payment by phone.

​

Promoting your Online Fundraising Store - Your organization can raise even more money with our online store by offering hundreds of assorted items and donation options. Online sales will make it easy for your participants to contact their family and friends locally and throughout the United States. We will set up an account for your organization, provide you with a unique Group ID for your store, and we'll provide login information for your chairperson's dashboard. Your chairperson will invite their participants to register as a seller by inviting them to visit the online store, entering your Group ID, and clicking on a link to register as a seller. Visit your chairperson's dashboard and you'll be able to track progress in REAL-TIME!  Students will receive prize credit for their online sales. Learn More

​

Online Fundraising Shopping Options - Your supporters can have their order shipped to your organization along with your brochure sales order. Your organization will earn up to a 40% profit on all online sales.

​

Student Success - The key to a successful online fundraiser is to assure your students register as a seller and be sure they use many options to invite all their friends and family to shop on your Goodies and Gifts online store. We highly recommend encouraging your participants to send out messages on the first day your sale starts. Because people are forgetful or may need to be asked more than once before purchasing, we recommend asking your participants to send out emails and posts as a reminder halfway through your sale. A few days before the end of your sale, send a "last chance to order" reminder should be sent. As a chairperson, sending reminders to your participants will be the key to success.

​

After your traditional brochure selling period (we recommend 2-3 weeks) collect the order forms and money from your sellers.  Money is deposited in your organization's account, and the Pizza Rounds order forms are submitted to us for processing. We will provide you with a shipping label for returning your seller's order forms. There are no case requirements for Pizza Rounds fundraiser! Order only what you sell!

​

Cut-Off Dates - We highly suggest starting a fall fundraiser early in the season. Significantly higher participation and higher sales are achieved with September fundraisers. Sales decrease with each week closer to the end of the year. Start early to allow enough time to complete your fundraiser and for the brochure order forms to be received before the following cut-off dates. Order forms should be submitted by the dates below.
Easter: For delivery prior to Easter Sunday, orders forms need to be returned by the week of March 6th for delivery the week of April 3rd.
