As a classroom teacher at McKendree ES and the PTA co-president teacher representative, I was in charge of our school's fundraiser this year. Undertaking the fundraiser, I knew it was going to be a lot of work. I had to find a reputable company with a variety of items that people would want to purchase and make a profit for all the activities we wanted to do for our students and the community.
After speaking with Justin with United Fundraising, I was surprised at the ease of my part of the process. I simply collected the orders forms and mailed them. A couple of weeks later, the items arrived. I have 8 parents/PTA Board members on hand the day before the pick-up date to help me organize the items. To my surprise, the boxes were labeled and organized by teacher & student. After opening the boxes, the items were already bagged by student and ready to go!
That afternoon, we simply organized the boxes by grade level & teacher and open the boxes - it took us less than 30 minutes to do. I highly recommend United Fundraiser!

We really enjoyed working with United Fundraising! From the very beginning, United Fundraising made it easy! We received a DVD, Order Booklets, and incentives (doggie adoption program) right away! The process was very smooth when it came to ordering products online or from the students.
The prizes and incentives were our favorite part of the program. We did not have come up with clever ways to encourage students to sell the products. It was all done for us. From the online ordering and being able to sell cookie dough online- what more could we ask for?
The follow up support from the company was an added bonus and plus. Very good customer service! We will be working with you again!

For me, using United Fundraising for the first time instead of Sally Foster, I was able to compare everything from the back office paperwork, corrections of orders, receipt of orders, quality of the products, etc. My experience with UF was very pleasant. The ease of processing the paperwork and corrections was just that, simple. It was taken care of. The kids loved the pet adoption and UF paid for the pizza party, which also was greatly appreciated.
Although I can't confirm at this time that we will use United Fundraising for the 2012/2013 school year, I would recommend them to schools that want to "change it up" a bit and will appreciate the ease of the paperwork.
Our fundraising efforts at our school are changing. We now have a "foundation" and with their help, we may have only 1 annual fundraiser for PTA. At this time, we are not sure what that will be.

This was the first year for me being over the fundraiser and hands on. The company (United fundraising) made it easy - no sorting out and everything was prepackaged - the only thing I really had to do was inform parents of pick-up times and dates. For me that saved me time.
