Symphony Orchestra Fundraiser Events

Symphony orchestras are no strangers to fundraising, that’s for certain.

Orchestras often struggle to get the funding they need from the local budget, and most orchestras turn to fundraising at one point or another during the performance season. If you are trying to raise money for a symphony orchestra, an event is an obvious choice. Of course, you want to make use of your available resources, and showing off what the orchestra can do is a fantastic way to get people to understand exactly what they are supporting, and to remind them through your symphony orchestra fundraiser just how important music is to the community’s culture.

Advertising your symphony orchestra fundraiser is important because of course, you want to get as many ticket holders as possible. Web ads, local newspaper ads, and posters around town can all help get attendance up. You can also send out letters for corporate sponsorship, as many local businesses love to be associated with the arts. The more sponsorship you can get for your symphony orchestra fundraiser, the higher the profits will be, and the more buzz there will be around the event.

Once you have people in the door at your symphony orchestra fundraiser, you’ll want to make the most of their presence there. Merchandise is always a great idea. T-shirts, CDs, DVDs, and other products are always strong sellers, and if you can get a local shirt printer to sponsor the shirts in exchange for advertising, then all the profit from merchandise goes straight to the orchestra.

A symphony orchestra fundraiser event is a great way to raise awareness of music in your community, and it’s also the best way to make sure your orchestra has the money it needs to get through another season. Make sure you do your best to maximize the opportunity, and you’ll have a successful fundraiser both this year and in future years.

Frozen Cookie Dough Fundraiser

Gourmet Cookie dough tub fundraiser has long been one of the bestselling fundraising products. Everyone loves freshly baked gourmet cookie dough!  As times have changed supporters have come to prefer frozen cookie dough that is already formed into perfectly sized cookies over a gourmet cookie dough tub fundraiser.  There is no longer a need to thaw a cookie dough tub fundraiser before baking.  Our popular Mrs Fields Cookie Dough Tub Fundraiser comes with 36-40 frozen cookies.  These cookies go directly from the freezer into the oven and in 10-15 minutes you can enjoy freshly baked cookies.  No need to plan ahead to thaw a large cookie dough tub!  Mrs Fields Cookie Dough Tub Fundraiser has become the most popular fundraising program because of the retail selling price. We offer 6 of the most popular cookie dough flavors.  Instead of a cookie dough tub fundraiser you can offer your supporters Mrs Fields Cookie Dough for only $25 each. We offer 50% profit and free shipping for orders over 400 boxes.  Best of all there is no cost to get started.

What You Should Know

There is no money needed upfront for this cookie dough fundraiser. We provide free brochures, order forms and cash collection envelops. You pay us after you sell your Gourmet Cookie tubs when you place your order. The money you’ve collected can pay for your order.

When you place your order, Easy Fundraising Ideas will calculate the cost of your order based on the number of boxes sold less any freight charges incurred for orders under 400 boxes.  Once the freight cost is covered, the rest is your profit to keep!
