Frequently Asked FUNdraiser Questions
Q: What time should I arrive for our FUNdraiser?
A: Students and families can begin arriving at 4:00pm on the day of their FUNdraiser.
​
Q: Why should a school hold a Farmstead FUNdraiser?
A: A FUNdraiser is unlike most other opportunities because the focus is on fun. Sales fundraisers have their place, but a school can only have so many before their audience is exhausted. Lowe Family Farmstead Fundraiser offers a valuable unifying event while building (rather than spending) your valuable funds.
Q: How much can a school make from a Farmstead FUNdraiser?
A: The success of a Farmstead FUNdraiser depends entirely on your publicity. Families are thrilled to get such a reduced admission rate, especially when they understand that they won’t have to spend any more money once they are there. They are even more excited when they know they are generating money for their school. Take an average example from 2011. A Kuna elementary school with about 400 students raised $500 in Kiss The Pig change and had approximately 425 people attend the Farmstead Fundraiser Night. Additional revenue from apparel sales put school (PTA) revenue close to $1,000.00.
