Step 3: Start Selling

Your fundraising goal is set by your organization’s Fundraising Organizer. You can sell anytime within the time frame established and your supporters can buy items online via credit card and the products will be delivered to their doorstep!

It’s worth noting that although people are willing to support your cause, they lead busy lives, so it won’t hurt to repost information about your fundraiser and send a follow-up email. When you email or text supporters directly through our site, we'll handle the follow up while you sit back and watch your funds grow!

Once their delicious treats are delivered, your supporters will appreciate your effort. It’s Important to remember that supporters must use your virtual link or email/text invitation to help support your cause.

Purchases made outside the fundraising website or in-person do not count towards fundraising goals.

Step 4: Get Virtual "High-Fives"

By accessing the fundraising dashboard, you can track the progress of your fundraiser in real-time. It’s a great idea to recognize and acknowledge the efforts of those participants who are performing exceptionally well as everyone appreciates recognition.

Additionally, if anyone needs a bit of motivation or encouragement, you can provide guidance to help them achieve your objectives. The more involved you are, the more successful your fundraiser will be!

Step 5: Close Out Your Fundraiser

Once your fundraiser purchasing window has ended, you'll receive an email from City Pop with some important steps on closing out your fundraiser and receiving your funds.

It's important to remember that once your fundraiser has closed, your supporters will no longer be able to make a purchase.

Don't worry - If you need more time or want to extend your fundraiser window, you can do that easily from the Organizer's dashboard.

Step 6: Collect Your Funds

Well done on successfully completing your fundraiser! Your organization’s earnings will be sent to you via mail, direct deposit or via PayPal once City Pop has received your fundraiser’s close-out documents.

It was a piece of cake, wasn’t it? Also, be prepared for those who inquire about your next fundraiser to participate again. Remember, with several different product lines to choose from, it only makes sense to start another fundraiser right away!
