How much can a school raise with a virtual fundraiser?

Most schools raise $1,000–$5,000+ per campaign. With 20 student sellers each reaching 10 supporters at an average order of $40, that's $8,000 in total sales — meaning your school keeps $4,000. Larger schools with active social media promotion regularly exceed $5,000 per campaign.

Is there any upfront cost or inventory to manage?

Zero upfront cost. Zero inventory. We make every cotton candy order after it's placed and ship directly to the supporter. Your school never touches a single bag of product — and you never spend a dollar until you've already earned it.

How quickly can we get our fundraiser started?

Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Fill out our partner form with your school name and contact info, choose your campaign type, and you'll instantly receive your unique fundraiser link and QR code. You can start sharing it with parents the same day.

Virtual School Fundraiser · Zero Door-to-Door

The #1 Virtual Fundraiser
for Schools — Zero Hassle

Q: What is a virtual fundraiser for schools?

A virtual school fundraiser lets your students raise money entirely online — no door-to-door sales, no order forms, no cash collection. Supporters visit a unique link on their phone or computer, purchase gourmet cotton candy bundles, and we ship directly to them. Your school earns 50% of every sale automatically.

Q: Do students have to go door-to-door?

No. That's the whole point of a virtual fundraiser. Students simply share their school's unique fundraiser link via text, email, social media, or group chat. Supporters order from their phone. No one has to walk the neighborhood, collect money, or handle any product.

Q: How does the school get paid?

Your school earns exactly 50% of every order placed through your fundraiser link. We track all sales in real time on your fundraiser page. When your campaign wraps up, we send your payout via ACH or check. No spreadsheets, no calculations — the system handles all of it.

No door-to-door sales. No cash collection. No inventory. Students share a link, supporters order gourmet cotton candy from their phones, and your school keeps 50% of every sale — automatically.

Why It Works for Schools

Why Cotton Candy Is Perfect for School Fundraisers

Schools have tried cookie dough, popcorn tins, and car washes. Cotton candy is different — it's something people actually want to buy.

🎉

Kids Love It

Students are genuinely excited to sell something fun. That enthusiasm makes them better ambassadors — and better results for your school.

💰

Strong Earning Power

Bundles priced $21–$75 with a 50% profit split means every order is real money. A single Family Fun Pack sale earns your school $20.

🎁

Makes a Great Gift

12 gourmet flavors turn cotton candy into a genuine gift. Parents, grandparents, and family friends buy extras for birthdays and holidays — boosting your totals.

📣

Shareworthy Product

When supporters receive their order, they post it on social media. Your fundraiser link gets shared organically — for free.

⚡

No Donor Fatigue

Families are tired of paying for products they don't want. Cotton candy gets an enthusiastic "yes" instead of a guilt-driven obligation.

🌟

12 Gourmet Flavors

From Birthday Cake to Pickle Jalapeño — there's a flavor for everyone. Variety drives bigger carts and more repeat purchases.

Transparent Earnings

Exactly How the 50/50 Split Works

No tiers, no fine print. Half of every order is your school's — from the very first sale. We track it automatically so no one needs to do math.
