Planning Your Fundraiser

Checklist

  1. Sign the agreement. Review the program and sign when your separate request arrives.
  2. Confirm the details. Check your description, photo, goal, and start and end dates.
  3. Plan your team meeting. Choose a meeting time and set your prize budget.
  4. Wait for activation. We will send your live campaign page link and participant registration link.
  5. Register participants. Help adults and parents find the selling link email.
  6. Send your launch message. Participants get their selling link and selling guide automatically when they register, so you do not need to send those. All you need is a short message to your group letting them know the campaign is live.
  7. Keep in touch. Check progress and plan your final reminder.
  8. Close out. Thank supporters, arrange prizes, and review your summary and payment within 30 calendar days.

Plan your prize tiers

Set your tiers and prize budget before launch. Give participants a first milestone they can reach and another to work toward. Explain the prizes at your team meeting.

Double Good recommends milestone rewards to encourage participation and friendly competition. Tiers give participants clear targets and a reason to keep sharing. Results will vary by group.

Our pricing structure is built to drive larger orders. Encourage participants to show supporters the bundle options alongside individual bags.

Use the Prize ideas (PDF) to choose rewards. Your organization chooses, funds, and provides all prizes. Decide how ties and combined prizes work before launch, and confirm results against campaign records before awarding.

Why we recommend milestone rewards

A visible target does more work than the size of the prize. When your team can see how close they are, they keep selling.

Set two or three sales milestones, announce them before launch, and post progress during the campaign.

Your organization chooses, funds, and provides any prizes it offers. Our prize ideas sheet has suggestions to get you started.
