Magazine fundraisers are always a good easy idea. Most orders are renewals and gifts. Plus after doing it a few times families look forward to the school magazine drive to renew there subscriptions. This company has a online program so your school can earn all year long and they cut you a check monthly too. American Publishers Hearst 888-233-9041
We use Cherrydale for catalog fundraiser, arm bracelets (just for fun but raises money), Teddy bears (new this year can't wait), ink cartridges/cell phones, box tops and Krispy Kreme. Our big fundraiser all year is Fall fest with silent auction.

Here are some fundraisers that we are thinking about doing next year. These are fundraisers that are on going and the company just sends you a check.

They sent you a check monthly if you reach a $25 min. if not they will send you a check when you reach $25.00. sales less the $10k receive 15% profit sells over 15k receive 20%. Not bad for a fundraiser where you don't do anything but advertise the link huh!
We have also teamed up with our local cold stone and they will contribute $3 for every ice cream cake sold (we have flyers/coupons with our school's name on them) and each month they will send us a check. Again, easy money.
VA diner peanuts. They will also let you regristered your non-profit organization up there and will send you check quarterly. YOu can have the orders shipped to you or anywhere and the organization of your choice receives the profits.
We've had a candle sale for two years now with CandleArt. They offer 50% profit but if you can sell over 500 candles you receive 60% profit. They're very nice candles, smell great and come in various sizes and they're very nice people to work with. We've also had good success with Stik-ees you can receive up to 50% and now they offer free delivery. Good luck!
Can you give us an idea of what kind of fundraisers you already do? There are so many kinds to choose from. Gift wrap/catalog sales make the most money - usually 50% of sales. Cookie dough usually makes 40%. If you already do these, we can suggest some others.
