There are many fundraising programs you can choose for your group - but you’re not sure which one to choose. Well, we recommend holding a cookie dough fundraiser; there are several advantages, the biggest being that it will earn a good profit for your group. If you do decide to do this kind of fundraiser, we have some tips to help you out.

Why Your Group Should Hold a Cookie Dough Fundraiser

There are several advantages in holding a cookie dough fundraiser:

• It is one of the most popular fundraising programs.
• Every format of cookie dough comes in several delicious flavors, and they all include Chocolate Chunk.
• The cookie dough comes in different formats, including Preportioned (simply place and bake!) and dry mix (The Fresh Cookie Dough Factory).
• Sales will be easier than with other fundraising programs: the tubs are reasonably priced, and the cookies are extremely easy to make—just scoop (or place) and bake! Plus, everyone likes cookies!
• Starting the fundraiser is completely free!

Procedure:

The members of your group takes orders from their friends and family members, you place the product order, the cookie dough is shipped to you, and your group distributes it. That’s it! Because they’re so easy, cookie dough fundraisers are ideal for every group. Have your group members bring the order-takers to their schools and workplaces. You will get more orders this way. Furthermore, the members of your group will be dealing directly with people they know, rather than simply sending them letters and e-mails.

Tips:

Ask local businesses if your group members can open up stalls to sell cookie dough near the exits and entrances of their buildings. The businesses themselves will likely also receive traffic this way! Otherwise, have your group members set up shop at their schools, or ask your county government if you can sell the cookies at a public event.

Either way, whenever you have your group members selling from a stall, make sure there are plenty of samples of the different flavors available on hand. It’s worth the expense - people will be more likely to buy the dough if they’ve tasted the cookies! They’ll come to trust your group - since, after all, many people consider group members like yours to be strangers who ask them for money.

Have the members of your group deliver the cookie dough to your supporters at a time that’s convenient for both parties. This is more convenient for the customer, and there is thus increased chance that they support your group at the next fundraiser.
