Because there are so many rules and regulations dictating what you can and cannot do in a public school setting it can be difficult to find public school fundraising ideas that will be approved by the school board. The most common rules that your fundraisers must pass are that they have to offer a certain level of profit, they cannot cost anything to start, and they must meet certain health criteria. Some states, like Texas, have outright banned the sale of unhealthy foods on school grounds so these are real concerns that you may have to face before choosing your school fundraisers.
Luckily, Go Green Fundraising has created a number of excellent public school fundraising ideas that meet every single criteria laid out by the various school boards, districts, and fundraising committee making the task of finding an excellent school fundraising program incredibly easy!
All of our fundraisers have products that are good for the planet or good for you. Some examples of products that you will find in our public school fundraisers are organic cookie mixes, all natural body care items, recycled paper greeting cards, fair trade coffees, reusable shopping bags and flower bulbs.
The really neat thing about these programs is that we have managed to keep the fundraising profit at a level that is competitive with more traditional school fundraising ideas while keeping the prices you charge for items at or even below what people would expect to pay for them in stores.
For example, one of our best selling public school fund raiser is the Smencils fundraiser. You sell the Smencils for just $1 each while they can cost as much as twice that if you can find them in stores.
