    PSA, whenever someone asks you to buy something for a fundraiser just donate instead. Especially if you don’t want what they’re selling. They’ll get 100% of that instead of like… I honestly don’t even know, but it can’t be more than 25%.

      30-50% if its an actual physical item is pretty normal. If it’s something like a discount card or coupon book, profit approaches 90%.

      If I don’t want something, I give nothing. Most fundraisers are pure extortion, and I can’t be bothered to check if something is legit or lining someone’s pocket. “No” is a full sentence.

        Obviously, I’m not saying you’re obligated to. I’m saying if you want to financially support them donations are better.
