Cookie Dough Fundraising
“Raise Lots of ‘Dough’ with a Cookie Dough Fundraiser”
One of the fastest growing money raising ideas, the cookie dough fundraiser has become increasingly popular over the last few years. One reason may be because of the convenience of having cookies on hand whenever you want them, without having to make them from scratch. Plus, a tub of cookie dough can be easily stored for later use. This is especially convenient with the pre-portioned variety .
It works well for lots of different groups – schools, churches, soccer teams, youth groups, etc. Also, it can be used as a nice add-on to other fundraising events and activities, particularly those where there will be a large gathering of adults who have kids.
It’s certainly not surprising since everyone loves cookies, and, really, who can resist them. They’re a favorite with kids and their parents and a proven winner with customers. And if your potential donors understand the value of the cause their
supporting, you shouldn’t have much difficulty selling them. There are lots of different flavors to satisfy anyone’s desire.
So be sure to tell potential donors the specific reason for your cookie dough fund raiser. Example: “Our group is raising money to finance our trip to the annual soccer tournament.”
As long as you can buy the cookie dough at a low enough price that you can sell it for a reasonable profit and, at the same time, not gouge your customers, then it makes sense.
More cookies please…
One of the advantages of buying cookie dough is that your customers can thaw the dough and use only what they want and refreeze the tub whenever they want more. They can usually do this as many as five times without any loss in quality. Of course, this is less of a concern with the preportioned kind since you only remove what you need at the time.
So your cookie dough fund raising supporters just pop them in the oven for delicious cookies any time.
What to say
Here’s a sample script your volunteers can use after they’ve run out of friends and relatives to approach:
“Hi, my name is (insert name). I’m helping to raise money for (name of group). We’re raising money to finance (reason for raising money). Would you like to help support our group by buying (product you’re selling)? Thank you so much. We really appreciate your help.”
