Program Questions

How do we know which fundraising program to choose?
We will help you choose the best fundraising program to fit your needs. We first consider the time of year you need to raise money. We offer sports based fundraiser programs all year long to accommodate your selling season. Also, think popularity. If football is the most popular sport in your community, running a Football Frenzy Fundraiser may prove to be more profitable than the Hockey Shot Fundraiser.

Please visit the Calculate Profit page where there is a simple calculator that can help you determine your fundraiser profit potential.

Can we run more than one fundraiser at a time?
Yes. Your organization can run multiple fundraiser programs at one time. Large National organizations often times will run multiple programs both currently and through out the year.

The programs can be of the same sport or of different sports. Each fundraiser program will have it’s own prize breakdown and custom results web-page. You can easily administer all fundraising programs through your administration pages.

If we sell all of our tickets, can we order more?
Absolutely! If you are running out of fundraiser tickets, please contact us as soon as possible so we can make sure you receive your additional tickets in a timely manner.

What if we are unable to sell all of our tickets?
Your organization does not have to pay remittance on unsold tickets. We request you collect unsold tickets from your sellers.

What is a sponsor?
Sponsors are not required, however having sponsorship benefits the sponsor, your organization, as well as the ticket holder. A sponsor will have their advertisement/coupon printed on your tickets. A coupon on your tickets can help to increase ticket sales, as the ticket holders not only have a chance to win cash prizes, but also have a valuable coupon for a local business. This is a terrific marketing opportunity for sponsors. Green Bee Fundraising will take care of the artwork layout. Please call us for more details.

Prize Questions

Can we choose our own prize breakdown?
Yes! Feel free to come up with any custom prize breakdown you want.

Not sure? Green Bee Fundraising can suggest a prize breakdown for each fundraising program and quantity of tickets ordered.

Below is a general chart to determine the best prize ranges:

0500 – 2,500 Tickets = $500 to $2,500 Cash Prizes
3,000 – 5,500 Tickets = $2,500 to $7,500 Cash Prizes
6,000 – 10,000+ Tickets = $5,000 to $25,000 Cash Prizes

When are prizes paid?
Prizes are paid out each week or round/month of your fundraising program. When ticket results are posted, the prize check will be mailed within 1-2 weeks.

Who pays out the prizes?
Green Bee Fundraising will mail out the cash prizes each week or round/month depending on the fundraiser program. You don’t have to write checks, worry about stamps or envelopes!

How are winners determined?
Winners are determined automatically by Green Bee Fundraising.

How are ties handled?
In the event of ties, prizes are combined and split.

For example, 2 tickets scored the Highest number of points/score. The 1st Highest Prize = $200 and 2nd Highest Prize = $100. The 1st and 2nd prizes are combined and split among the 2 winners. In this case, $200 + $100 = $300 / 2 winners = $150 for each winner.

Profit Questions

How can we maximize our profit
There are many factors that contribute to a successful fundraiser. A well planned, organized fundraiser is at the best way to have a successful fundraiser. Choosing the best fundraiser program and having enough time to sell your tickets are key. Increasing ticket sales by advertising your fundraiser throughout the community, and make sure to take time to explain the program to your ticket sellers. Don’t forget that with all of our programs, you receive a FREE personalized online buy page. Ask your friends and family to support your fundraiser online.
