The Cotton Candy Fundraiser
Your Supporters Actually Want
No inventory. No cash handling. No upfront costs. Just share your link, watch the orders roll in, and keep 50% of every sale — automatically.
What Is a Cotton Candy Fundraiser?
A cotton candy fundraiser is a virtual campaign where your school, team, church, or community group sells gourmet cotton candy bundles online — no booth, no table, no weekend events required.
We give your organization a unique fundraiser link and QR code. Your supporters shop online, we handle all the packing and shipping directly to them, and you earn 50% of every single order.
It's the fundraiser that runs itself — while you focus on what actually matters.

Why Cotton Candy Is the Perfect Fundraiser Product
Most fundraiser products are things people tolerate. Cotton candy is something people actually get excited about.
Strong Margins
With bundles priced $21–$75 and a 50% profit split, your earnings per order are real money — not spare change.
The Fun Factor
People share their cotton candy orders on social media. Your fundraiser markets itself when supporters post their haul.
Great as a Gift
12 gourmet flavors make cotton candy bundles a genuinely exciting gift — supporters buy multiple for birthdays, events, and just because.
Sells Anywhere
Virtual = no geographic limit. A parent in another state, a grandparent across the country — anyone with your link can support you.
No Donor Fatigue
People are tired of paying for wrapping paper and cookie dough. Cotton candy is a fresh experience that gets a genuine "yes" instead of a polite obligation.
We Handle Fulfillment
Every order ships directly to your supporters. You never touch a single bag of cotton candy. We do it all.
How the 50/50 Profit Split Works
No complicated tiers. No fine print. Half of every sale is yours from order one — automatically tracked, no spreadsheets required.
The operations side covers product, packaging, and shipping directly to your supporters. You focus on spreading the word — we handle the rest.
Example: 30 supporters each buy one Family Fun Pack = $600 raised for your organization
