Fundraiser FAQ
Fundraising questions? We've got answers.
Short, clear answers for coaches, athletic directors, teachers, PTO/PTA leaders, club leaders, and nonprofit directors.
How much money does our organization earn?
Your organization earns $7.50 in profit for every bag sold. A team of 20 sellers averaging 10 bags each raises $1,500. The more your group sells, the more you raise.
How long does a Pop City fundraiser last?
Ten days. You sell for 7 days, then run a 3-day final push. The short window keeps supporters engaged without dragging the campaign out for weeks.
How does our organization get started?
Complete the Start My Fundraiser registration. You get a confirmation email while Pop City reviews the request. After approval, we email your unique fundraiser link so you can share it and start the 10-day campaign.
How do supporters place their orders?
Share your unique fundraiser link. Supporters shop through that link, add bags to the cart, and pay online — the organization is attached automatically, so they do not have to type a code. There is no door-to-door cash collection.
Does every organization receive its own fundraiser code?
Yes. After Pop City approves your registration, your organization gets a unique fundraiser code and link (for example, /fundraiser/marshall-eagles). Purchases through that link are credited to your group at $7.50 per qualifying bag.
How are sales tracked?
The fundraiser code and organization name are saved with each customer order, along with the bags purchased and the order total. Fundraising earned is bags sold × $7.50 — for example, 4 bags × $7.50 = $30 for your organization.
When will our popcorn be ready?
After the 10-day campaign, we organize the orders and pack popcorn fresh. We will let you know when bags are ready for local pickup.
How does our organization receive its fundraising proceeds?
Once the campaign wraps and orders are fulfilled, Pop City sends your organization its fundraising proceeds. You focus on sharing the fundraiser. We handle the popcorn and the payout.
Can sports teams, schools, clubs, churches, and nonprofits participate?
Yes. Pop City Fundraisers is built for sports teams, schools, PTO/PTA groups, clubs, youth programs, churches, nonprofits, and community organizations.
Is there a minimum number of sellers?
No minimum. Every seller helps. Fundraising becomes powerful when the whole team participates, but you can start with whatever group you have.
