Re: FIRST Fundraising Database
One good idea when working with fundraising ideas like Avon or Tupperware, or something similar like that where you usually have a "representative" working with you is a > 50% rule that we usually follow.

This is defined as if the fundraiser gives us at least 50% profit from the sales then we usually go with it. If we are only going to make about 30-40% (or less) profit then we usually skip it.

But of course these only apply to fundraisers like the one's stated above, whereas car washes and pot luck dinners, and the like usually yeild a higher percentage of revenue towards the team with the only expenses being supplies.
