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.
Draft worksheet only. Shelf price is what a buyer pays. Profit per item is a placeholder — do not promise either number to your group until verified economics are on this site. Want names (popcorn, candles, apparel) with a why? Get a plan.

01
Profit in dollars
Total profit and profit per participant lead. Percentages sit underneath. No invented “typical raise.”
02
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.
03
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.

- Order-taker, in-hand, or online — pick a shape before a cover
- Get a plan with named programs — popcorn, candles, apparel, a car wash if that is the honest fit — not a blank promise
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.
