Fundraising is essential for many schools, groups, sports teams, choirs, bands, and other organizations. Without enough funds, these groups cannot afford to buy the necessary equipment, pay for uniforms, travel expenses, or organize events. One of the most popular ways of raising funds is through a classic cookie dough fundraiser. However, with technology and the fundraising industry advancing, schools and youth organizations can now use a virtual fundraising platform such as the Scoreboard Fundraising app. And typically, groups using our fundraising app will have great success and see higher sales. Even smaller groups can see high sales and have a great fundraiser.

No more order forms.

Traditionally, cookie dough fundraisers required participants to sell cookie dough through order forms, and they were set up like traditional brochure fundraisers. The order forms were then collected and placed with the supplier. This process could take weeks to complete, and it was often difficult to keep track of who had paid for their order and who had not. Having a virtual fundraiser means a much quicker turn around and faster delivery date for orders placed.

Virtual fundraising platform.

With the Scoreboard Fundraising app, all of these issues are eliminated. The app provides a virtual fundraising platform that allows participants to sell cookie dough through online fundraising, making it convenient for both the participant and the supporter. Participants can easily share their fundraising link with friends and family through social media, email, and text messages. Supporters can then click on the link and purchase the cookie dough directly from the app, which means no more paper forms or checks to write. It’s like having an online store with no need for a fundraising brochure. It’s great for school fundraisers, especially, where you have a high number of participants in the elementary school, middle schools, and high school combined.

Secure payments.

The Scoreboard Fundraising app also provides secure payments, which is essential for any online transaction. All payments are processed through the app’s secure payment system. This ensures that participants and supporters can have peace of mind knowing that their personal and major credit card information is safe. This also means that participants don’t have to worry about collecting payments or carrying around cash or checks. It’s a better experience for everyone involved for obvious security reasons.

Real-time tracking.

Another advantage of using the Scoreboard Fundraising app for a cookie dough fundraiser is that it provides real-time tracking of sales and progress towards the fundraising goal. Participants can log in to the app at any time to see sales reports and how much they still need to reach their goal. This provides a level of transparency that was not possible with traditional cookie dough programs.

Of course, we love a good cookie fundraiser, and we offer our most popular cookie dough flavors, but that’s not all we offer. In addition to cookie dough, the Scoreboard Fundraising app can be used for additional items and other types of fundraising as well. We have traditional popcorn options, stainless steel tumblers, and the very popular donation fundraiser. This allows schools and organizations to offer a variety of fundraising options to their supporters.

Convenience.

One of the biggest benefits of using the Scoreboard Fundraising app is that it is convenient for both the participant and the supporter. Participants can sell cookie dough or other items online, which means that they don’t have to go door-to-door or set up a table at a local event. This can save a significant amount of time and effort, which is especially important for busy families.

Supporters can purchase cookie dough or other items directly from the app, which means that they don’t have to worry about writing a check or handing over cash. This is especially convenient for supporters who live far away, in remote areas, or who are unable to attend the fundraising event in person.

Easier process, more convenient and more secure.

Whether you are a small group, school, sports team, youth groups, or any other organization, fundraising can be a necessity. Using a virtual fundraising platform such as the Scoreboard Fundraising app can make the process easier, more convenient, and more secure. With no order forms required, secure payments, real-time tracking, and a variety of fundraising options, Scoreboard Fundraising is a great way for your group to raise funds without the hassle of traditional methods. Whether it’s classic cookie fundraising, donation fundraising, or other great product fundraising, the Scoreboard Fundraising app provides a convenient way for participants to sell and for supporters to purchase. It makes for a great user experience all around.
