How Much Will I Make?

You will receive 20% of total sales up to $500.00. For all sales above that, you will receive 30%. So, if you sell an item for $10.00, you’ll receive a $3.00 commission. Not bad for sending out a few emails! We handle the product, shipping, and all customer service. All of our sales are tracked through PayPal. You will receive an updated list of sales along with your commission check.

How Long Should My Fundraiser Last?

The duration of your fundraiser depends on your fundraising goal. Most fundraisers run about a month, longer during the Christmas holiday. You can set up your fundraiser for a weekend, a week, or we can set it up as a continuous program and send you a monthly check. As new products are added, they will automatically be added to your site.

How Does My Purchase Benefit The Families of the Unit or Fundraiser?

How the funds are used is entirely up to the unit or organization conducting the fundraiser, which consists of the unit leadership and the family members of the soldiers. Funds are typically used to purchase gifts or flowers for soldiers who may have recently had a death in the family or who are celebrating a birth. Some units use funds to pay for fallen soldier memorial ceremonies or unit formals. They can also be used to provide food for unit picnics (Organizational Days), holiday parties, Deployment Homecoming ceremonies, or prizes for unit game nights. Again, how they are used are up to each specific unit, and they are bound by military guidelines as to how the funds can be used, but for more specific information, you can contact the specific unit's Family Readiness Group Leader.

Can My Friends and Family Forward Our Unit's Link to Their Friends?

Absolutely, encourage your friends and FRG to forward the unique link on to their friends. Remember your unit receives 20% of all the sales that are made up to $500.00, then your commissions go to 30%. The more people who get your unique link, the higher your sales will be. WARNING: Spamming people with your fundraising link is not authorized, specifically on military networks. You may only forward it to people you personally know, and then they can forward it the same way.

Can a Unit Conduct More Than One Fundraiser Per Year?

Yes, units can run the fundraiser continuously and just choose to promote it at different times of the year. Because some of our best selling products are seasonal, this saves you the time of setting up new fundraisers all the time, and as long as you are promoting it, it will continue to provide revenue for your group or unit. BE ADVISED - some military installations have different guidelines pertaining to how many fundraisers an FRG can conduct - check your local Standard Operating Procedures.
