Why should companies benefit from fundraising efforts?
Fundraising companies provide products and services to help schools and non-profit groups. Like all other services schools may utilize, professional fundraising services do come with a price. But the rewards of a good relationship with a fundraising company are well worth the investment. The portion of the gross proceeds that go to the fundraiser cover the company’s costs of doing business, including: 1) the cost of the products and other materials (e.g. brochures, order forms, parent letters); 2) the costs associated with services such as stocking and handling inventory, packing, shipping and troubleshooting; and 3) a fair profit so that the company can provide service year after year.
