Worksheets for groups raising money in the United States and Canada. Not personal crowdfunding. Affiliated with a product fundraising company — disclosure.

How much will we actually raise?

A worksheet for schools, teams, churches, and PTAs — not a donation page. Put in who will sell, the dollar goal, and the weeks you have. Then say what buyers would pay and whether you want packets, in-hand items, online checkout, or a combo. Profit dollars come first.

Profit worksheet

Group type How many people will ask friends, family, and neighbors? Digits only. Sellers, not enrollment. How much do you need to raise? 2500 is fine. A comma is fine. Not 5k, not 2500.00. How many weeks until you need the money? Digits only. 8 not “8–10” or “this spring.”

What buyers would pay

$1–$3 About $15 $20–$22

Shelf price the other person sees. Not profit. Programs exist in each band.

How you want to run it

Order-taker packets In-hand items Online — no cash Combo

Labor and cash handling, not a theme. How the four shapes differ.

People who will ask, not the roster. Results show on this page — no email wall. Dollar rows are a draft until program economics are verified.

Profit in dollars

Total profit and profit per participant lead. Percentages sit underneath. No invented “typical raise.”

Shape before a catalog

Order-taker, in-hand, online with no cash, or combo. That is labor and money handling. How the four shapes differ.

A named shortlist

Seven questions. Then popcorn, candles, apparel, a catalog, a car wash if that is the honest fit — each with why it matches this group. Get a plan.

Built for the groups who have to hit a number

Most fundraising advice is a list of ideas with no math. We start from named sellers, a goal, and a deadline — then show profit in dollars, not a headline percentage. Shelf price ($1–$3, about $15, $20–$22) is what a buyer sees. It is not what the group keeps.

This site is not for personal or medical crowdfunding. Those belong on a dedicated platform. We cover them only as comparison, when that is the honest answer.
