How does your school fundraiser work?

You book your two-week fundraising window, and we launch a custom online store featuring your school's name, mascot, and colors. Parents shop directly online, choose their personalized items, and pay at checkout. Once your fundraiser closes, we handle all design, production, and fulfillment in-house. Orders ship to your school, grouped by homeroom teacher, ready to distribute.

How much does our school earn from the fundraiser?

Most schools earn between $3,000 and $8,000 during their two-week fundraiser. Your school receives 20–30% of total sales, paid out at the same time your orders are delivered — no chasing invoices, no delays.

Is there any cost to run the fundraiser?

None. There is no upfront cost, no setup fee, and no minimum order requirement to get started. You keep your percentage of sales — we handle everything else.

How long does the fundraiser run?

Each fundraiser runs for two weeks. After your window closes, production begins and orders are delivered to your school within 2–3 weeks.

What kinds of products can we sell in our school fundraiser?

All products are custom-designed with your school's name, mascot, and colors. Popular items include tumblers, trucker hats, car coasters, air fresheners, and apparel — quality families actually want to buy.

How are orders delivered to the school?

All orders ship together in one delivery to your school, pre-sorted by homeroom teacher. No sorting piles, no matching names to orders. Your payout is sent at the same time.

Do you work with schools outside of North Carolina?

Yes — we serve schools locally in North Carolina and nationwide. Our fundraiser is fully online, so location is never a barrier.

What's the difference between the Online Fundraiser and the Spirit Store Starter Pack?

The Online Fundraiser is a two-week custom school store where parents order directly — ideal for PTOs and large-scale fundraising. The Spirit Store Starter Pack is a physical merchandise bundle that arrives ready to sell at games or in your school store. Many schools do both.

Can we see what the products will look like before we commit?

Absolutely. Before your store goes live, you'll receive custom product mockups in your school's colors and mascot so you can see exactly what parents will be ordering.

Is there a minimum number of orders or participants required?

No minimum. Whether your school has 50 families or 500, the fundraiser works the same way. We provide marketing materials and tips to help you maximize participation.
