How Much Profit Will Your Non-Profit Be Making?

Your non-profit organization needs to research how much of a profit it is going to earn on a cookie dough fundraiser, or any other kind of fundraiser it chooses to run. If it is less than fifty per cent, you may want to look again.

Your fundraising committee also needs to see if the company you are purchasing the cookie dough from has a minimum order. If it does, you have to realistically see if your non-profit organization can handle the costs if you get stuck with the extra tubs. If it costs your non-profit money to sell cookie dough for a fundraiser, it may not be in your best interest to do it.

You also need to see if there are any hidden costs, such as shipping. Look for a company that has free shipping on any order, not just on a minimum order.

The company you work with should be available to you to answer any questions you have along the way. The product should be high quality and be delivered promptly and well packaged. There should be no hidden costs. All you have to do is sell, make a proift, and have a sweet success.
