Fund Raising
Thank you for your interest in the Bloomin’ Bucks Fundraising program by Brent and Becky’s, a very progressive and unique way for 501(c)(3) organizations to raise money almost year ’round!
HOW IT WORKS:
It’s simple…once your organization is registered with us, your supporters can then go to www.bloominbucks.com and from a pull down menu of all of the organizations registered, can select to support you! With one click, they are then sent to the Brent and Becky’s website where they can order whatever they want, in whatever quantity they want…books, bulbs, tools, supplements, gift certificates…ANYTHING…and a percentage of all of the orders goes to your organization!
HOW DO YOU GATHER SALES?
That’s just it…there IS no selling! No gathering of orders! No order tallying! No check writing! No product handling! No distribution! Nothing except promotion! And, once you’re registered, we’ll help make that easy by sending you a logo for print materials, a link to add to your own website and a flier that you can print and hand out! Then the sky’s the limit with how you promote it! With a link, just direct people to YOUR website…put it in an email, a newsletter, an invitation, add it to your sign or billboard, broadcast it on a teletype, send smoke signals…it’s up to you!
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF SALES CAN YOU EARN?
Bloomin’ Bucks offers 25% of all sales back to your organization. Normally, other fundraising programs offer a small selection, have a small window of time to gather sales, require your efforts to gather the orders, tally them, send in money and the orders, and then the product is shipped to you for distribution. With Bloomin’ Bucks, you can raise money nearly year ’round, a full 10 months of the year! That’s a huge window of opportunity! We also supply a link for your website and a logo to be used with any promotional material, we take the orders, we track them, we fill the orders and ship them direct to the customer! You just promote and we’ll take care of everything!
WHEN DO EARNED FUNDS GET PAID OUT?
At the end of our two seasons (Summer and Spring/Fall) we will tally up the amount of orders from each organization and, as the saying goes, the check will be in the mail! Our Summer Season starts in Mid-January and runs until Mid-May, and our Spring/Fall Season starts around Mid-March and runs until Mid-November. So checks will be mailed twice…in late May – early June and by the end of the year.
The only exception to the rule is if the refund is less than $25.00. If that is the case, then a credit will be placed on the participating organization’s account. If the refund is less than $25.00 for 2 years consecutively (which is a total of 4 seasons) you will be removed from the program.
If you want to try again at a later date, please apply once more.
WHO QUALIFIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BLOOMIN’ BUCKS PROGRAM?
The Bloomin’ Bucks Program is for 501(c)(3) NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ONLY. When you register, all we need is your Tax Exempt Letter from the IRS showing you are indeed a 501(c)(3) organization. If you are unsure if you are a 501(c)(3) or not, you can visit the IRS Charities Website to see if you are listed.
TO REGISTER:
There is a simple three step process to register. Once we receive your registration and your forms, we’ll email you to let you know you are ready to go! We’ll also include a logo and information to include a link so you can place it on your own website. That’s it…. to get started on your way with the most progressive fundraiser you’ve EVER done.
