Fundraising Cookies

Fundraising Cookies are usually associated with the selling of the cookie dough rather than the actual baked cookie.

Well although a simple cookie dough fundraising idea will be a little less hassle (no need to bake), there is still definitely a place for baked fundraising cookies!

Where you ask...

Firstly, at all your events! That's your fundraising events, sports events, awards ceremonies... You name it!

Just think... your events will always have food stands, or tea stands, or at least the need for some form of food/snack to be sold! People do always get hungry hey.

A great fundraising event to include your cookies at is a food taste fundraiser. Having a table devoted to your cookies will be a great way of advertising your cookie dough fundraiser! People can taste the cookies and then order the dough of the flavours they like!

I would only really recommend this second way to schools, churches or organizations with a large community/members base! Otherwise you might not be able to make enough sales, to make it viable!

Fundraising Cookies - Decide Where You’ll Sell Them:

Your first step will be to decide if you have the right events and opportunity to sell the cookies.

Here are some events where selling fundraising cookies will be viable...

• Weekend Sports meetings
• Fetes
• Fundraising Events
• Church services - afterwards during the teas and coffees!

And there are of course many more... So think it through!

Baking The Cookies:

Your next step will be to make and bake the cookies...

You can either make your own dough or order the dough through a supplying company. I would personally recommend that you order the dough through a supplying company as it will save you a lot of hassle and effort.

The supplying company that I’d suggest you use is Fast Track Fundraising... They offer a range of different flavours and deliver the dough for free.

They also offer many other fundraising products that you could consider using for your fundraising campaign.

Unfortunately they are only North American based... So if you are not from there, or would like to look around for other options, a simple Google search will provide you with a good many cookie dough supplying companies to review!

(A Tip: Type the name of your local area or country with a plus sign before it, and then add your search query with a plus sign before it as well. Ex. +australia +cookie dough)

Another Cookie Option:

There is another type of cookie which you could consider making instead of an ordinary cookie... This other cookie will help raise awareness for your cause at the same time as raising funds.

The Selling:

Obviously the selling of your cookies will be incorporated with the events that you hold. Like at your tea table during the local fete, or at the food and drinks stand at the weekend sports day.

You should sell them for a reasonable price that will still be worthwhile to your efforts... Finding the balance is the key!

For packaged cookies you will need a sales team. Your school children, church members, or youth group will be perfect candidates for this.

I wish you the best of luck with your cookie fundraising!
