How it Works
Fundraising doesn't have to be complicated - and we're on a mission to help groups like yours raise money for worthy causes.
Experience the simplicity of raising money with us.
1. Sign up for your fundraiser
To get started, simply sign up for one of our simple fundraising ideas online. Once we confirm the details of your fundraiser we'll send you a confirmation email and mail you the order forms.
Our fundraisers typically run for two weeks and you will earn up to 40% profit on every item sold. For answers to questions about our simple fundraising ideas, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.
Don't forget to ask about setting up your online store!
Sign Up2. Start Selling
We'll send your customized order forms which you can pass out to your group. Be sure to let the sellers know when to return their order forms and money. Money should be collected when the order is taken.
Sellers should contact friends and family and record orders on their order forms. Keep in mind all products will be hand-delivered by the sellers.
Remember to set a goal - our research shows that groups who set a goal raise more money!
Sign Up3. Collect money and order forms
We'll select a date for your sellers to return their order forms and the money they've collected. This will be the final day of your fundraiser.
Sellers should collect money from their supporters while they are selling. Do not wait until the product is delivered to collect money from supporters.
Frequently Asked Questions4. Submit your results online
Once your fundraiser is complete, you will enter your results on our easy-to-use online portal. We'll email you a link to the portal once your fundraiser has started.
Pro tip: Start entering your orders as the order forms are turned in. This will help save some time at the end of the fundraiser.
If there are other people helping coordinate your fundraiser, everyone will have access to the portal and can enter orders simultaneously.
Sign Up5. Prepare for delivery
Prior to your delivery we'll send you an email reminding you of the delivery details. We'll also send you an invoice due at delivery. Please bring a check for the full invoice amount.
Your products will arrive pre-sorted for each seller. Please have a few volunteers, tables, and the order forms ready when we arrive to help speed up the process.
Keep in mind our products are frozen, so it's important that all products are picked up promptly and placed in a freezer.

Excel Fundraising, if you do any more work for me, I’ll have to tip you. Love working with you!
R. Grace - Group Leader
Excel Fundraising was absolutely wonderful! Butter Braid pastries are the best tasting pastries on the market, no question. This was the easiest fundraiser we have ever run and our customers constantly ask us when we are going to run another Butter Braid fundraiser.

It was awesome. The ordering, the service – it was all easy to handle. A no-brainer fundraiser that gives results with no money upfront. We will do it again. Did I mention the service was awesome?
