Fundraising has always started with a shared goal.
Long before online campaigns and digital donation buttons, communities raised money through church suppers, charity fairs, raffles, concerts and sales. People contributed what they could, neighbours showed up and small purchases added up to something much bigger.
By the 20th century, fundraising had grown into a profession of its own. But for schools, sports teams and community groups, the most familiar approach remained wonderfully simple: sell something people already enjoy.
The Rise of Product Fundraising
Chocolate bars, baked goods, wrapping paper and coupon books became familiar sights in neighbourhoods across Canada.
Product fundraising works because it gives supporters two reasons to participate. They can help a cause they care about and bring home something they will actually use.
The best fundraising products are affordable, easy to distribute and appealing to plenty of different people. If customers come back for more, even better.
A Fresh Take on a Familiar Tradition
Pop 'N' Top brings a little more flavour to the classic fundraiser.
Instead of another box of sweets, supporters receive snack seasonings they can shake over popcorn, fries, wings, potatoes and much more. There are six flavours to choose from:
- Extreme Ketchup
- White Cheddar
- Sour Cream & Chive
- Dynamite Dill
- Salt & Vinegar
- Blazin’ BBQ
With no minimum order required and 24 packets in every box, the program is designed to work for groups of different sizes. Schools, clubs and teams can even run another fundraiser later when everyone starts asking for more.
Fundraising methods may keep changing, but the heart of it remains the same: a group of people, one shared goal and a community willing to help.
Pop 'N' Top simply makes the experience a little more delicious.
