What are Fundraising Sales?

J. Gatta & Sons offers the means and support for non-profit organizations to engage in fundraising sales. Fundraising sales are a very popular method of raising contributions for groups and organizations, whereby the group essentially sells products for profit, that profit funding the organization's activities. It's so popular because everyone gets something they want! Your organization raises the money it needs to operate, and your customers (and supporters) get something they can enjoy at a reasonable price.

Direct Sales

There are two primary types of fundraising sales: direct sales and brochure sales. For direct sales, your organization simply purchases the product, and then sells that product to your customers for a profit. For direct sales fundraising, it is a good idea to use items that are relatively cheap and popular. We offer and recommend Hershey and M&M/Mars brand candies for direct sales, as sales of their products have successfully funded countless American organizations. The advantages of direct sales are speed and simplicity. We can deliver the goods to you quickly, and as soon as you sell them, your organization has funds!

Brochure Sales

Brochure sales are a quite different way of acheiving the same goal. Rather than purchasing these products and then selling them, you sell them and then purchase them! Your fundraisers show whatever brochures you choose to potential customers. The customers choose which items they would like, and pay, while your fundraisers record the transaction. Then your organization delivers your orders and money to purchase the requested goods to J. Gatta & Sons. We then communicate your collected orders (and the money to purchase them) to the companies that produce the products, and they ship the products to your customers. However, through all this, you've collected more than you need to pay for the products to be shipped. That's your profit!


Are you confused? Does any of this not make sense? Just contact one of our fundraising agents, and we'll be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
