We also offer our "main" fundraiser in the fall. It is a catalog sale and brings in the majority of the money for the year. We also do a cookie dough fundraiser in the spring. We just finished with that last month. Between the two we ususally do between 12 and 14 thousand dollars. This year we were down on both though!
I was recently elected president of our PTO and would like to institute some changes. We currently have many fundraisers throughout the year each bringing in one to three thousand dollars each. A common complaint is the number of fundraisers so we would like to change our approach and offer only 2 or 3 large scale fundraisers. Has anyone done this and was it successful and why? Any info is appreciated.
