Here is a list of places that participate in Percentage of Sales fundraisers
AAA Washington’s School Fundraising Program
AAA Washington’s School Fundraising Program provides schools/clubs/teams with an opportunity to earn additional funds while offering families the benefits of AAA Membership. Through this program, your school can receive $20 for every new AAA Membership purchased. To make the process simple, AAA will:
- Provide co-branded fliers featuring your school’s name and program details for distribution to families.
- Create a dedicated, co-branded online sign-up page so families can easily join AAA and ensure the school receives credit for each membership sold.
This program is designed to be easy for schools to manage, with AAA handling most of the administrative work, including tracking and reporting sales.
THERE ARE MANY MORE!
Local businesses are often excited to host fundraisers for DECA chapters.
Below is a sample email you can use to contact these businesses.
Hi (Business/Person you’re emailing),
My name is ___, and I'm reaching out on behalf of _(your chapter)__ High School DECA with an opportunity that could be mutually beneficial for your business and our school's DECA chapter. You might be curious about what DECA is— it's a nationwide organization that empowers students with an interest in business to develop and showcase their skills competitively. Our DECA organization prepares high school students to compete at regional, state, and even international levels. One obstacle we face, however, is the financial cost of attending these competitions. Would you be interested in learning more or partnering with us for a community fundraising event to help our members afford participating in DECA?
The initiative would kick off with us directing our ___(membership number)___ student members and their families and friends to dine at your establishment during a time/date that works for your business. This could substantially boost your foot traffic and potentially introduce you to new clientele. In return, we suggest a contribution of (10-20%) of the revenue generated from our members' visits. We can provide a key codeword for participants to say at checkout, to ensure sales are matched to our organization.
If you have any questions about this potential partnership, please let me know! We at ___high school___ DECA appreciate your consideration.
Best,
__(First and last name)_______
(your role in your DECA chapter)
