If your organization decides on raising funds by selling fruit, the best way to go about finding out details and setting up a program is by visiting one of many “fruit fund raising sites” on the Internet. This Internet companies will help your organization raise the funds needed for projects or operating costs. Most of the fruit companies found on the Internet work with quality fruit growers located in Florida and California and the primary produce is oranges.
Planning is essential in running a successful fruit fundraiser, and orders should be placed at least two months in advance. For example if you want fresh oranges delivered by June 1st, they should be ordered by April 1st. Therefore, your committee should plan on selling the fruit beginning February 1 to get as many orders as possible, increasing your net profit. Each committee or volunteer who is selling fruit should have tally sheets and brochures that explain the fundraiser and what the funds will be used for. Online companies require payment before delivery date and they usually offer a discount for prepaying an invoice. Selling fruit, specifically oranges to raise funds for your organization is a great way to make money. After all, almost everyone eats fruit!
