No Upfront Cost Fundraisers: Empower Your Cause, Risk-Free!
Looking for a powerful and proven way to raise funds without any initial investment? At Big Fundraising Ideas, our No Upfront Cost Fundraisers, often referred to as Brochure Fundraisers, are a fantastic solution! We've consistently helped schools, sports teams, booster clubs, and various organizations achieve their fundraising goals by offering high-quality products that practically sell themselves. Your group, regardless of its size or purpose, can easily launch a successful campaign with zero financial risk.

How Our No Upfront Cost Fundraisers Work
At Big Fundraising Ideas, we make fundraising easy from start to finish. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works for your group:
Free Fundraising Kits
- We provide you with a complimentary fundraising kit to help you prepare for and run a successful sales campaign.
- Each kit includes a participant information letter, a vibrant product brochure, clear order forms, and convenient money collection envelopes.
Presell and Collect
- Participants show the items found in their brochures and use the order forms to collect orders from neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers.
- Payment is collected at the time of the order, so there is no need to chase down funds after the fact.
Easy Order Tallying
- When your fundraising period ends, gather all order forms and collected payments, ensure that the money is the same amount shown in each order form, and deposit the money in your account.
- All orders placed online are automatically added to brochure orders, so you don’t have to worry about merging online and brochure sales on your end.
- Send us a copy of your order forms, and we'll handle the rest. Our data-entry department will enter your orders into our system, and we will prepack orders according to each seller.
Hassle-Free Payment
- After we process your order, an invoice will be emailed to you with instructions and options for making payment easy. See our payment terms.
- Pay conveniently by credit card over the phone, direct deposit, or by mailing a check or money order (for public schools).
- If more profit is made online than through your brochure, payment to your group is processed within five business days after your order ships.
