[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have either of you been involved with fundraising for your schools? I've served as the fall fundraiser chair for my kid's school and it is very hard to get donations. For that fundraiser we just ask parents to write a check. And last year we even tried incentives as well. It did not work....its hard to even get 40% participation. People don't ask their relatives for donations to the school with a fundraiser like that. My school did the Boosterthon last year and it was a huge success. We've never had so much money raised. Our school does not have a large volunteer base and Boosterthon allowed us to raise money without worrying about who will volunteer to help. Yes, they do take a 45% cut - but how much of a cut do wrapping paper companies take? Or boy scout popcorn? Etc., etc. [/quote] Scholastic takes 40 to 50% depending on how much money you make.[/quote]
