The Value in Product Fundraising

Whether it's to pay for new equipment or educational trips, schools and youth groups participate in a variety of fundraisers. Each year those organizations raise nearly $2 billion through the sales of popular products. There are a number of fundraising options, from bake sales to car washes; however, product sales, like those through Harmison's Hometown Fundraising, are consistently the most effective approach.

Product Fundraising 


According to a survey from the Association of Fund-Raising Distributors and Suppliers (AFRDS), nearly $1.4 billion worth of field trips, athletic team uniforms, computer labs, playground equipment and other youth products, programs and services are made possible each year through product fundraising programs. While it depends on the size of your school or organization, the average product fundraiser generates more than $3,100 for schools. Research has also shown that 75% of Americans purchase fundraising products. In addition, 8 out of 10 parents purchase fundraising products. People already want to show their support for their sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, and grandchildren, but with product fundraising, they get something out of it too!

School Fundraisers


Most people agree that product fundraising is an important resource for students. A study by the National Association of Elementary School Principals showed that 94 % of schools relied on fundraisers to supplement the school's budget. Without those extra funds, students would struggle to go on educational trips and compete in competitions. Not only is the money raised important, but fundraising offers an experience that builds self-esteem, provides community service, and promotes school, organization and community spirit.

Harmison's Hometown Fundraising 


Schools and organizations can choose from hundreds of fundraising products and programs to maximize their financial return and minimize the time investment for advisors. When it comes to quality fundraising products, look no further than our Midwest fundraising company.

When you choose Harmison's Hometown Fundraising, your customers will receive quality products and will not feel as if they simply donated to the organization while accepting a small, overly priced item.
