Some of the ideas are great, thanks. We are looking at different alternatives for fundraising also. What we have proposed are a couple of ideas:

how about selling advertisment space in the school yearbook, to local establishments and or school-family run businesses?

even if youre not tax exempt, those folks can write it off as business expense.

ditto for ad space in the school directory and or school newsletter.

i guess it might be an issue if the parent group is/isnt legally an entity of the school, if such advertising was allowed, but worth considering.

We are using www.jerrystees.com this year for our fundraiser. There is no food at all in their products. It contains, t-shirts, towels, jewelry, candles. I really think you might like this one. The people are very nice to work with! And, even if a child only sells one item they get a prize too!

We are doing educational fundraisers this year. Our first one is a math-a-thon and the second is a read-a-thon. Children (and parents) gather pledges based on # of problems correct or # of minutes read. It's one hundred percent profit (less paper costs) and because they aren't buying a product, it is tax deductable as well.

It sounds like Pampered Chef might be a good supplement, but 10-15% is soooo much lower than we are used to getting for our big Fall Fundraiser. We've gotten to the point that we won't even settle for 45%. But, I guess w/ P.C. it is very easy to rack up some high sales #'s, as the prices are a little up there!

With Pampered Chef, if sales are (before tax and shipping)less than $600.00, your profit is 10% and over $600.00 your profit is 15%. They do have great products though.
