Common Questions
Common fundraiser questions typically focus on clarity, logistics, and value. The most frequently asked questions include:
There are no minimums on your fundraiser.
While there is no minimum amount, it is important to establish the target dollar amount (TDA) your organization would like to raise. The TDA would then be divided amongst the number of participants, giving you an estimate of the amount needed to be sold by participant.
It is not an exact science as you know. Some people will sell far more than expected and others not as much.
Our fundraiser isstructured to help you maximize your profit potential. We set up very reasonable pricing so your organization can expect profit margins ranging from 45% to 60%, ensuring a strong return on every sale.
Participation in the fundraiser should be limited to those who will directly benefit from the funds raised. This typically includes the members of the team, group, or organization for whom the fundraiser is being conducted, along with their families—especially parents or guardians who assist with sales and outreach.
These participants are usually the most motivated to meet fundraising goals, as they have a clear connection to the purpose of the campaign. Involving individuals who are not directly benefiting often leads to lower engagement and can slow overall progress. Clear expectations should be communicated from the outset so everyone understands their role and responsibilities in supporting a successful fundraiser.
Most fundraisers are most effective when they run for two to three weeks. This timeframe strikes the right balance between creating urgency and allowing participants enough time to reach out to friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers.
Running a fundraiser for less than two weeks can limit exposure and sales opportunities, while extending it beyond three weeks often leads to fatigue and declining momentum. Interest tends to peak early, so a defined, manageable window helps keep participants focused and motivated.
To maximize results within this timeframe, it is important to communicate key dates clearly from the start—such as the launch date, order deadline, and delivery timeline. Regular reminders throughout the fundraiser also help maintain engagement and ensure participants stay on track.

All orders of $400 and more enjoy free shipping to a central location!
All items from the order are delivered or shipped to a central location. We do not deliver or ship partial orders.
All orders of $400 and more enjoy free shipping to a central location.
If your order is less than $400, shipping will be determined after the order has been placed and packed.
We are unable to provide predetermined shipping rates prior to having the order, packing and weighing it.
However, we have great rates from both FedEx and UPS because of the heavy volume of packages we ship daily.
The lead time on all orders to be shipped or delivered (local area) is two weeks.
We make our jerky fresh weekly, so when your fundraiser ends, we will put your order into production on the first Monday after. That order gets put onto the schedule for the week. The following Wednesday or Thursday, we ship or deliver your order. We will ship or deliver your ENTIRE order as a whole, to a central location.
We offer gourmet brisket jerky, bacon jerky, Americana candy, freeze-dried candy, nuts, trail mixes, popcorn, flavored pretzels, rice crispies, cheesy puffs, corn nuts, meat sticks, licorice, exotic meat sticks, Mexican chamoy candies, and our uber-popular Trio Packs.
As a jerky and snack manufacturer and wholesaler, we currently offer more than 300 products, and we put together our fundraiser items based on our top-sellers.
Smaller, single-item products work well at lower price points, while premium or bundled items—such as specialty snacks, nuts, or cookie dough—can support higher pricing. All our items have retail prices of $8-10. Depending upon the item, the profit margin is 45-60%.
Friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors are more likely to purchase when pricing feels reasonable and clearly supports a cause.
Because the fundraiser is an online platform, participants will make their payment at the time of purchase.
Yes. All online purchases made with a credit card will include a small processing fee. This simply helps cover the cost charged by our payment processor.
As a reference, the typical fee per transaction is 2.9%. If your fundraiser raises $5000 in profit, the fee would be $145.00
We will provide you with a report of all the orders and fees. We will deduct the fees from your total profits.
Damaged Items: We strive to package all products in a manner that ensures they arrive intact and presentable. Occassionally, there are instances where a box has been unfairly treated during shipping and damage will happen. In these cases we simply ask for a photo of the damage and we will replace the items at zero cost to you.
Missing Items: We understand how frustrating it is to not receive what you ordered, so we developed a two-check system for shipping orders to alleviate the chances of orders being shipped that are missing items. We are human, so it does happen from time to time, and when it does, we make sure your missing items are shipped the day you inform us of the error.
Incorrect Items: Well, if you receive items in your box that you did not order, it’s time to share the wealth and enjoy it on our behalf! We will ship the missing (and correct) items out that day.
While selling outside the local area can increase sales, it will most assuredly create logistical issues.
The biggest issue is one of distribution. All of your products from your fundraiser will be shipped or delivered to one central location. This menas you will be responsible for getting the orders to the buyers. If they live outside of your area, that will be a financial burden.
