Fundraising FAQ
How does the Banazzle fundraising program work?
When you sign and return the Banazzle fundraising agreement, we’ll send out your complete fundraising package. This kit includes sales packets and other materials to simplify the selling process, so you can start raising money fast! At the completion of your fundraiser, you will return the orders, unused sign-up cards, and one half of the money. We will process the orders and send the Banazzle discount cards to the individuals who purchased.
Who can conduct a Banazzle fundraising program?
Any club or organization such as schools, sports teams, churches, non-profit groups, etc. can use our fundraisers.
How much money can we make with the Banazzle fundraising program?
Banazzle discount cards sell for $10 each with a 50% profit (or $5.00 per card) earned for your organization. That means if you have 50 participants who sell 20 Banazzle cards at $10 each, your organization will earn $5,000 profit!
How is the Banazzle fundraiser new and different from other programs we’ve done in the past?
The Banazzle fundraiser is similar to selling discount cards; the difference is you do not have to do any of the work to obtain discounts. You don’t even have to come up with the selling materials or the discount cards themselves. All you have to do is sign up! We have done all of the legwork for you, including securing the discounts and providing easy instructions and full-color promotional flyers.
How soon can we start our fundraiser?
Once you register your fundraiser with us and let us know how many participant packets you need, we will prepare your shipment and ship your packets in as little as two business days via Priority Mail or UPS, depending on the size of your kit.
Are we required to pay anything up front?
No. There are no upfront costs to conduct this fundraiser. Just sign up, and we will send you a specified amount of selling materials with everything you need, including the envelope you will send back to us with the orders, unused sign-up cards, and one half of the money.
What support materials will I receive with my fundraising kit?
The fundraising kit includes administrator instructions and totaling sheets, along with envelopes for each participant. Each participant envelope includes printed instructions on the outside of the envelope along with serial numbers that coordinate with serial numbers on the sign-up cards. The participant envelope also includes sign-up cards and promotional flyers and cards.
Can I sign up by mail or phone instead of online?
Yes. You can find our address and phone number on the Contact Banazzle page of this website.
How long should our fundraiser last?
We recommend your fundraising campaign last two weeks, including three full weekends, in order to maximize your profit earnings as well as ensure continued motivation by your participants. Campaigns lasting longer than two weeks usually do not benefit the organization, as your participants will lose interest in fundraising. Campaigns lasting less than two weeks typically do not provide ample time to collect orders.
Is there a minimum amount for fundraising orders or number of participants allowed?
No. We do not require a minimum order amount (or minimum number of cards to be sold), and you can have as many or as few participants as you like.
Can we do a Banazzle fundraiser if we are outside of the USA?
Our discounts currently cover the USA, so fundraisers outside of the USA would not be beneficial.
What if we have questions during our fundraiser?
Banazzle provides excellent customer service before, during, and after your fundraiser. We’ll give you personal service from day one and help you get started with our well-organized, step-by-step plan. We’ll be there to answer any questions, and we’ll support your cause with our easy referral plan so you can keep bringing in money long after your successful fundraiser is completed. Call us at 765-677-5025.
When will we receive our check?
Our fundraising program offers payout of proceeds upfront. This means you collect your profit at the close of your fundraising event and send us the balance with your orders.
How do we calculate our profit?
To calculate your profit, tally your proceeds from the discount cards sold and multiply that amount by .5, or 50 percent. Mail us a check or money order for the balance along with your orders and the unused sign-up cards.
How do we pay for our orders?
You can pay with an official bank check from your group or organization or with a postal money order.
