Top 10 Reasons to Run a Created By Kids art fundraiser
#1: No fees = big profits = no risk!
You pay zero fees:
• Zero materials fees
• Zero admin fees
• Zero shipping fees
• Zero credit card fees
• Zero – any fees!
Because Created By Kids is a rare, “no-fee” fundraiser, you start profiting on order #1.
It is our belief that schools should never lose money on a fundraiser – it is a privilege for a fundraising provider to partner with your school and should be treated as such.

#2: Profitability guaranteed
Your school makes 30% profit on every order placed*. And remember, no fees to reduce that amount! You will find this is definitely on the high end of school fundraiser profitability, particularly compared to the amount of volunteer work required.
We have had schools polish off their new playground budgets with back-to-back-to-back “CBK” fundraisers – growing their profits each year!

#3: No selling required = guilt-free profits
Sure, grandma will always buy another chocolate bar to support the school. But Created By Kids does not require any door-to-door selling, or hitting up the same circle of friends and family.
The products sell themselves to students and families, who may use them as gifts to happy friends and family – turns the whole fundraiser-guilt thing on its head!

#4: Super simple to run
This fundraiser is super simple for:
• Volunteers – usually only 2 volunteers are required. Volunteers simply coordinate the handout from our complete package and collect materials – we do the rest!
• Teachers – using the provided art sheets for each student, teachers can choose to do an art project already in the curriculum, which means no extra class time is used!
• Students – the art sheets are provided for each student, they just apply their usual artistic creativity to this project.
• Parents – online ordering is very simple, and linked from the student art sheet.
• Admin – school administrators generally do not need to be involved in the simple process, except maybe to help allocate the funds!
And nobody at the school has to enter any data, handle any cash/cheques, or do any accounting. We provide all of these services for you!

#8: Meaningful
Students become published artists. They are so proud and can have increased self-esteem from this process. See if a door-to-door sales item can have this impact:
