What kind of profit do we make on a fundraiser?
You can make from 40%-50% based upon the program/product you select.
How long should a fundraiser last?
Fundraisers should run a minimum of ten days and no longer than two weeks. Allow for your fundraiser to span at least two weekends.

How much does it cost to do a fundraiser?
Nothing! There’s no charge for the materials you need. We supply them.
Whom should we sell to?
As a safety precaution, we do not suggest that children go door to door. Have your parents help by by asking neighbors, friends, relatives and co-workers.
When do we need to collect the money on the products sold?
From our past experience we recommend that you collect the money at the time of sale. This eliminates having to go back to collect or getting stuck with unpaid merchandise. Getting stuck with unpaid merchandise will cut into your profit.
If we’re given a check to pay for the product, whom does it get made out to?
Make checks payable to your school or organization.
Once we place the order with you, how long before we receive the merchandise?
Based upon the program/product selected, your merchandise will be delivered between two to three weeks.
When do we pay Community Resources?
Arrangements are made according to the customer. If a recognized school group supplies us with a purchase order, they pay us when the product is delivered. Different arrangements will be discussed with each group on an individual basis.
What method of payment do you accept?
We accept a checks, money orders or credit cards.

The primary importance is
"Your School, Your Children, Everyone's Future!"
We are concerned about the safety of all children especially while they’re asked to do a fundraiser. These safety issues should be addressed and each child needs to be aware of them before starting to sell.
• Never allow children to go door to door unless accompanied by an adult.
• Never let children enter homes of people they don’t know.
• Don’t allow children to carry collected monies without adult supervision. Do encourage children to sell within their circle of family, friends, neighbors and parent’s coworkers.
