Think it’s too close to the holidays to have a successful fundraiser? Not true! Water bottle fundraisers can raise money at any time of year.

Yes, the holiday season is racing towards us, but guess what? People need holiday gifts, and what better way to help your favorite nonprofit or school than by supporting water bottle fundraisers? 

Any item on our site can be used for water bottle fundraisers…in theory. The reality is that you must consider the ages of the recipients. If the nonprofit or school serves children under the age of 12, you will need to choose a water bottle that’s tested and approved for use by that age range. Bulletin Bottle [.com] can help with that!

Once you decide on a water bottle for fundraising, you’ll request a quote for the quantity you want (or that you think you’ll order) and set your sales price. We often get asked what we think water bottle fundraisers should make, or how much to sell a custom water bottle for. Unfortunately, we can’t answer that question. The right number is dependent on many factors—like target audience demographics, type of bottle, motivation of recipients, timing with other fundraising events, and so on. A custom water bottle that one organization sells for $10 may do better in the $5 range in another fundraiser.

After you set your pricing and finalize your artwork, you’re ready to decide how to run your water bottle fundraiser!

Some organizations prefer to predetermine the quantity for their water bottle fundraisers. They purchase custom water bottles in bulk, and then resell them at events and in the community.

Other groups, however, prefer to hold water bottle fundraiser pre-sales. They have a set period of time for ordering bottles. When that period ends, the total number is tallied and ordered. Bottles are distributed when they are delivered.

No matter how you set up your water bottle fundraisers, no matter which custom water bottle you select…there are opportunities for success any time of year!
