1. Sign up for your fundraiser
Do you want to learn how to start fundraising with Emch Fundraising?
To get started, simply sign up for your fundraiser online. For answers to questions about how to start fundraising with us, check out our Frequently Asked Questions. For our Program Summary, click here.
Once we confirm the details of your fundraiser we'll send you a confirmation email and mail you the order forms. Our fundraisers typically run for two weeks and you earn a high profit on every item sold.
Don't forget to ask about setting up your online store!
Sign Up2. Start Selling
We'll provide customized order forms which you can pass out to your group. Be sure to let the sellers know when to return their order forms and money. Money should be collected when the order is taken.
Sellers should contact friends and family and record orders on their order forms -- we recommend sellers promote and share their personalized Online Ordering link to rack up more sales! Keep in mind all products will be hand-delivered by the sellers.
Remember to set a goal - our research shows that groups who set a goal raise more money!
Sign Up3. Collect money and order forms
On the planned turn-in date, sellers will return their order forms and the money they've collected. This will be the final day of your fundraiser. Online sales for each seller will conveniently flow into the group leader portal ordering system.
Sellers should collect money from their supporters while they are selling. Do not wait until the product is delivered to collect money from supporters.
Frequently Asked Questions4. Submit your results online
Once your fundraiser is complete, you will enter your results on our easy-to-use online portal. We'll email you a link to the portal once your fundraiser has started.
Pro tip: Start entering your orders as the order forms are turned in. This will help save some time at the end of the fundraiser.
If there are other people helping coordinate your fundraiser, everyone will have access to the portal and can enter orders simultaneously.
Sign Up5. Prepare for delivery
Prior to your delivery we'll send you an email reminding you of the delivery details. We'll also send you an invoice due at delivery. Please bring a check for the full invoice amount.
Your products will arrive pre-sorted for each seller. Please have a few volunteers, tables, and the order forms ready when we arrive to help speed up the process.
Keep in mind our products are frozen, so it's important that all products are picked up promptly and placed in a freezer.
