At the pop-up event in NY, launching this new fundraising idea, I got lost in a sea of flowers of every color. I could picture using flowers in the color of our little league team for a Mother's Day fundraiser, or selling single flowers at a high school dance.

It's perfect timing, as we're all just getting back to school and sports and extracurriculars, and a bake sale just might not cut it this fall. (Though, if you do have a bake sale, #6 on this cookie recipe list are the top sellers at every bake sale...)

I also like that Crayola uses a team of growers who farm sustainable blooms and provide fair wages, healthcare, and a safe work environment for employees.

Crayola Flowers offers three different types of fundraisers. 

Anytime Fundraisers from Crayola Flowers

With this option, your local nonprofit can set up a Crayola Flowers store and advertise it to the community, who can use the platform to send blooming bouquets year-round. Anytime an order is placed, you receive 10 percent of the profits. Price points range from $49-$90+. Anytime orders are shipped directly to the recipient's home.

Occasion-al Fundraisers from Crayola Flowers

From the holidays to Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and more, Crayola Flowers allows users to set up a date-specific fundraiser. Once the fundraiser closes, all blooms are delivered to a central spot for each customer to pick up.

Buy-the-Box Fundraiser from Crayola Flowers

With this option, Crayola Flowers ships freshly picked blooms directly to your organization, which you can then sell directly to customers. It’s a great option for a dance recital, Teacher Appreciation Week, or even a charity walk. 

Tools to Make Crayola Flowers Fundraising Easy

No matter which fundraiser you choose, Crayola Flowers provides a suite of tools and support to help you reach your goals. You’ll be able to set up a custom fundraising site in just 15 minutes, and Crayola Flowers provides automated emails, QR codes, and social media support to make sure you reach a maximum audience.

Another cool feature: Crayola Flowers payment processing system—which is used for both the Anytime and Occasion-al fundraisers—covers the credit card processing fee to ensure nonprofits keep the maximum funds.

Like the idea and mission of Crayola Flowers but don’t have a local nonprofit to support? You can log onto the website and order flowers directly, and Crayola Flowers will donate a portion of your purchase price to its nonprofit partners; likewise, local companies can use the platform to set up an Anytime fundraiser to support these deserving organizations, too.
