Fundraising Cookies - A Yummy Way to Raise Money

ost non profit organizations provide the
communities where they serve with valuable
programs that the communities would not otherwise
have. Often, families and individuals that are
not able to afford their basic needs are the
beneficiaries of these services. It is necessary
for the non-profit organization to adopt a very
aggressive fundraising program in order to raise
the money that is needed to maintain the level of
service that they want to provide to their
community.

Some of the many fundraising options may include
writing grants, soliciting for cash donations,
and hosting special events. The special events
often include golf tournaments, dinners, walk-a-
thons, raffles, and auctions just to name a few.
One popular fundraising method includes the sale
of items. A specified portion of the sale will
go directly to the agency to help with their
cause. One favorite event is selling fundraising
cookies to help reach their financial goals.

Fundraising cookies, when sold by non-profits is
a terrific revenue generator and can surely be a
successful fundraiser. All of the benefits
received by all parties involved contribute to
the appeal of the sale of fundraising cookies.

There are three main benefits of selling
fundraising cookies.

1. The organization benefits because they
have the means to secure the resources needed to
fulfill the mission statement in their community.
The majority of the sale goes directly to the
not for profit organization. Sometimes the net
proceeds will be nearly 70%. The remainder
covers the cost of the product, shipping and
promotion. Normally they are able to keep the
costs of promotion very low because volunteers
usually participate in the sale of these
fundraising cookies.

2. The second benefit of the sale of
fundraising cookies is realized by the recipients
of the service that is provided by the
organization. Often the clients are young. The
exception service that they receive often has an
impact on many areas of their life including
their mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional
components.

3. The third basic benefit of distributing and
selling fundraising cookies as a means of
generating income is enjoyed by the person
actually selling the product. Often the
fundraising cookies are sold by a young person.
The opportunity that this experience gives a
youth is invaluable. They learn the importance
and gratification of contributing to their
community as well as basic skills. This
experience can help build their self confidence
as well as teaching the value making and reaching
goals.

One major reason that selling fundraising cookies
is so successful is that the person that buys a
package of fundraising cookies has something
yummy in return. Normally the fundraising
cookies are offered in a variety of flavors.
These flavors can include chocolate, mint, or
peanut butter. If you are looking for a great
fundraiser for your group, perhaps selling
delicious fundraising cookies is the win-win
situation needed.
