Here are 5 simple, stress-free fundraising ideas with built-in support and easy fulfillment.
Fundraising Doesn’t Have to Be So Complicated
If organizing a fundraiser feels more like herding cats than helping a cause—you’re not alone. For most teams, schools, and nonprofit organizers, the hardest part of fundraising isn’t selling the product… It’s everything that happens behind the scenes.
That’s where we come in.
At Fundraising.com, we’ve spent over 25 years helping groups raise money the easy way. We take the stress out of setup, sales, and fulfillment so you can focus on your goal—not the paperwork. In this article, we’ll share 5 fundraising ideas that are simple to launch, easy to manage, and built for real returns.

1. Cookie Dough Fundraisers
Why it still works: Cookie dough is one of the top-selling fundraising products in North America. It hits the sweet spot—literally and financially. It’s an easy “yes” from coworkers, neighbors, and families.
How we simplify it:
- Order taker or online options
- Direct-to-home delivery available
- Pre-packaged orders for easy distribution
- Digital dashboards to track sales and participation
- Ideal for: Elementary schools, PTA groups, sports teams
Profit potential: Up to 50%
This classic fundraiser is effective, hassle-free, and popular across all age groups.
2. Gourmet Popcorn Sales
Why it works: Who doesn’t love popcorn? With bold, fun flavors and sleek packaging, popcorn fundraisers are a modern favorite for groups wanting a lightweight, snackable option.
What makes it different at Fundraising.com:
- High-end flavors like Peanut Butter Cup, Jalapeño Blue Cheese, and Kettle Corn
- No refrigeration or short shelf life concerns
- Option to sell in-person or online
- Flexible delivery options (group or home ship)
Great for: Youth sports leagues, school events, and church groups
Bonus: Works year-round, and it’s gift-friendly.
3. Scratch Card Fundraising
Why it works: It’s a game-style fundraiser that keeps people curious and engaged. Supporters scratch off a dot to reveal a donation amount—typically small—and receive a sheet of coupons in return.
Why groups love it:
- No product to deliver
- Compact and portable
- Works well at events, games, and rallies
- Adds a layer of fun and spontaneity to asking for donations
Best for: Travel teams, marching bands, clubs, and booster organizations
Profit potential: Up to 90%
It’s easy to manage, low-cost to start, and fast to execute.
4. Ship-to-Home Online Fundraisers
Why it works: Not every fundraiser should rely on paper order forms or local buyers. Our fully digital, ship-to-home program lets you fundraise from anywhere—and track it all in real time.
Key advantages:
- No inventory, no deliveries, no order forms
- Personalized online stores for each seller
- Hundreds of products to choose from
- Real-time tracking and reporting tools
Perfect for: Nationwide campaigns, hybrid schools, and remote-first communities
Bonus: Completely contactless. Great for today’s fast-paced, digital world.
5. Lollipops, Pretzel Rods, and Other $1-$2 Sellers
Why it works: Small-price-point products like Tessa Lollipops, Katydids Chocolate Bars, and $1 Sweet & Salty Pretzel Rods are impulse buys that offer great returns with little overhead.
Why organizers love them:
- Easy for kids and teens to sell
- No need for big promotions or fancy displays
- Quick turnarounds for short-term goals
- No refrigeration or storage issues
Use case: Concessions, parent tables, checkout counters, and after-school events
These products are low-effort, high-reward staples that never go out of style.
