How Fruit Fundraising Works

A QUICK OVERVIEW

You are invited to become a part of our family of fundraising friends and reserve boxes of the sweetest, juiciest fruit anywhere. This is truly fruit that you, as a fundraiser, can be proud of. We have two different fundraising programs that you may use together or separately to reach or surpass your fundraising goals.

Truckload Fundraising is the quickest method to raise large sums of money!

We provide you with as low a price as possible and then you mark up the price according to the amount of money you wish to raise. Take orders and let us know exactly what you need or purchase a truckload and set up at a local business or mall. (We provide customized order forms for your group!) Either way, a truckload of citrus will be shipped to your designated area for you to distribute. Payment for your truckload will be due 10 days from the time of truckload delivery.

Online Fundraising is the easiest method to raise money…

…and it even works outside your local area! When you sign up, we provide you with a free web page that you can customize with your group's name and message. All you do is get the word out to everyone you know to go to your web page and purchase gifts or items from the online catalog. We process all the payments, take care of all deliveries, and handle every customer service issue that might occur. You receive $4.00 for every item ordered.

Commitment to Customer Service is top priority and a key to our success.

• The freshest fruit possible is sent to you. Your fruit is not picked until you place your order, and we examine it closely to make sure you receive only the best fruit.
• Your order receives personal attention. When it is loaded onto the truck, a trained staff person (or many times even the owner!) oversees the loading to make sure that you are sent the correct fruit and that it is loaded carefully.
• Extra fruit is included free just in case it is needed. We include 1% extra fruit with your order. If there is any problem with the fruit when it arrives, you can replace it on the spot!
• Live customer service is important. Anytime you have questions, speak with your fundraising representative or call us toll free at 1-888-999-8726. We are always happy to help.
