Fortune Cookies
The fortune cookies fundraiser is one of your other options to cookie dough fundraising, and fundraising cookies.
It is a simple fundraising idea that will raise awareness for your cause at the same time as raising funds!

Fortune cookies are simply cookies that hold a slip of paper inside describing a fortune, quote, joke or proverb. They are really meant to be a bit of fun, as people eat their cookies and then share their fortunes or proverbs with their friends!
But that slip of paper can also work as an advertisement for your organization or cause!
This is how you will do it...
Fortune Cookies - Making & Baking:
The first step...
After reviewing your schedules and events, and decided whether selling these cookies will be viable (please read the fundraising cookies for more info on this), you will need to make and bake your cookies.
The first decision you will need to make is whether you will bake the cookies yourself, or whether you will outsource the cookies from a baking company.
There are many companies available for you to shop around in and find the best deal, but if you decide to bake the cookies yourself, you will need to make another decision...
And this will be to decide if you will make your own dough, or once again buy the dough in from a supplying company!
Here is a free information kit from my preferred
Cookie Dough Fundraising Supplier
. They also supply very good fortune cookies that can make your fundraiser more convenient to run!
Your Fortune Cards/Papers:
It will be up to you to decide what phrases etc. will be best received by your supporters and customers...
Will they enjoy finding proverbs, or maybe quotes inside their cookies? Or maybe they'd enjoy some short jokes... and of course they may even want their futures foretold (The last thing I ever want to read; but that is just me!).

On the other side of your fortune slip you will leave a small advertisement for your cause, which is...
How This Fundraiser Will Help Raise Awareness:
All of your fortune slips should contain some form of awareness raiser for your organization and cause.
So on the back of your fortune slips add a small advertisement, with your website address and possibly your other contact details.
Then every time someone buys a fortune cookie from you, they will read a "fortune", as well as an advertisement for your cause!
To make this work really well you should advertise something in specific. Some ideas would be...
- Advertising your newly launched fundraiser website!
- An online raffle you are holding. Advertise the prizes and have the URL to your specific raffle page.
- A lottery. Have numbers on the slips that people can go to your website to check against the winning numbers there!
- An upcoming event. Have the event location and date, and a URL address to its web page!
And that's how Fortune Cookies can help raise funds and awareness for your fundraising cause!
I wish you the best of luck with your Fundraiser!
