We know that you have many choices when it comes to picking a fundraiser for your individual or organization's needs! Not all fundraisers are created equal! Some are more work than they are worth and a headache to run. We would love to share more information about our amazing Cards for a Cause fundraiser offered through PaperPie. Our partners have given rave reviews about ease, quality, and more and many are already planning to partner with us again in the future! We hope you'll partner with us, too! Read on to hear 5 reasons why we think you will love our unique fundraiser!
This fundraiser is so easy to run! After a short phone call to learn about your/your organization’s needs, and after a bit of email correspondence to get you the digital and/or printable materials you will need, you/your group can be up and running with this fundraiser in less than 24 hours.
What’s great is we only offer 5 products through this fundraiser, so your group can provide me with a simple tally at the conclusion of the fundraiser so that I can prepare your order. This makes tracking orders super simple for you and any members in your group who may be collecting orders. At the end of your fundraiser, all of the boxes are shipped to one location for distribution! Your members will appreciate that there is no cookie dough or pizzas to refrigerate or chocolate to keep from melting before your members can distribute the products to customers.
The overwhelming feedback that I’ve gotten from past organizations that I’ve partnered with is that this is one of the easiest fundraisers that they have ever conducted. Many organizations even go as far as to set up annual or biannual Cards for a Cause fundraisers with me for simplicity’s sake and because their members have been so impressed with our products!
I have worked with individuals and many different types of groups and organizations. It is super easy for small groups and even individuals to reach our low 15 box order minimum and take advantage of our high profit fundraiser. We can run this fundraiser on a small scale with a low monetary fundraising goal or we can run it on a large scale with a significant monetary fundraising goal. More on how I customize your experience in the next bullet point!
While we can set up your fundraiser solely via email correspondence, I highly recommend that you setup a brief call with me so that we can chat about your organization’s needs. This allows me to custom tailor your fundraising experience while partnering with me. I’ve worked with dance teams, clubs, individuals, boy scout troops, foundations, church groups, preschools, elementary schools, and more. Each organization has unique needs and goals and it’s my aim to provide you with the best materials to suit your organization’s needs and promote your fundraiser in the way that you think would work best to reach your stakeholders. This could include digital and/or paper order forms, online promotion “events,” digital methods of payment collection, additional fliers, email or social media graphics for marketing, and more.
Your organization will receive $13 per card box sold and if your organization is tax exempt, you will not need to charge customers tax on their boxes and no tax will need to come out of the raised funds. If your organization is tax exempt, you will simply need to provide me with a copy of your state’s sales tax exempt form and I will submit that with your order.
If your organization is not tax exempt, that is no problem! You can choose to either charge your local tax on the $17 per box that we will submit per box sold OR you can choose to take the tax out of the raised funds.

"We run the Mentor Club in our very large high school. We were looking for a fundraiser that would sell easily and give us a way to raise needed funds. Believe it or not, that is not so easy to find. Brittany was easy to work with every step of the way: quick responses to emails, along with clear and concise directions. The boxes themselves are beautiful and were here within 10 days of our order. Our students and their “customers” are thrilled. We, as advisors, couldn’t be happier. We will be back – every year!"
