As many of you have already heard, the largest supplier to the fundraising industry closed its doors. We expect that like us, you have wondered what impact this will have on future fundraisers.
Companies are already working behind the scenes to make necessary changes to their fundraisers. We believe companies will tell you upfront if they are going to experience trouble or not. Believe Kids is fortunate to have a diverse catalog with many distributors and will not be adversely affected. Regardless of who you use for your fundraising, make sure to quickly ask how they are responding.
Believe Kids
Believe Kids Fundraising is a strong company with 12 years of nationwide fundraising experience. We have worked with thousands of large schools and groups in all 50 states. We have always been an organization of consultants and not sales people. For this reason, we have grown year-after-year because our schools report more profitable fundraisers with less volunteers needed and better customer service.
Two years ago, we decided to diversify our catalog and expand our cookie dough sales. As a result, we increased our domestic products and overall number of manufacturers limiting our exposure in any one area. Our choices in recent years to limit our exposure in any one area has further strengthened our company and we believe you will enjoy our fundraisers just that much more because of our attention to detail and our variety of product choices.
The Economy
This year, our goal is to increase a school or groups overall sales in the face of a bad economy. Our schools this year will benefit from several free tools that will reverse the effects of the economy and allow them to sell more than ever! If your fundraising company is not giving you tools to increase sales this year, we need to talk!
The Future
We are honored to have a small part of shaping the future of the industry and we want to personally invite any school, group, fundraising representative or fundraising company to discuss the industry with us. We will help in any way we can.
Please feel free to call us at 1-877-723-5438 and as always, if you find the information in these posts helpful, leave comments, subscribe to feeds, follow us on twitter @BelieveKids or leave comments on our new discussion boards.

A note to fundraising companies – we are in a position to help a select number of representatives and fundraising companies this fall. If you or your company needs some assistance in the short-term, we may be able to help.
A note to schools and groups – If you need a second opinion on your present fundraising plans, we pledge to give you our honest opinion. Of course, we would like to earn your business, but these unique times call for us to support the industry on the whole and we will put your goals first. If you have questions, please let us know.
