When Fundraisers Flop (And Why It’s Not Always Your Fault)
Failure stings.
Especially when you’ve given your all rallying volunteers, creating sign-up sheets, and hyping up the community only to end up with a disappointing outcome.
Just ask Coach Mike and his soccer team. Last year, they tried every traditional fundraiser in the book: Bake sales, car washes, even a silent auction. After weeks of late nights and early mornings, they netted just $600. That didn’t even cover half the team’s equipment.
But this year? Coach Mike’s team raised over $5,000 in just three weeks, without burnout or constant hustle.
His secret? Sudz Fundraising.
This isn’t just detergent, it’s a complete fundraising system designed to work smarter, not harder.
Why Most Fundraisers Fall Short
First, let’s be clear: If your fundraiser didn’t hit the mark, it’s not because you didn’t work hard enough.
It’s because traditional fundraisers set you up to fail. Here’s why:
- Low Profit Margins
Most fundraisers keep only 20–30% of the sales. You’d have to sell a mountain of candy bars just to break even. - Products Nobody Actually Needs
Cookie dough, candles, wrapping paper let’s be honest, most people buy them out of pity, not because they actually want them. That’s not sustainable. - Volunteer Overload
Parents, coaches, teachers, they’re already stretched thin. A fundraiser that piles on extra tasks without real rewards can lead to frustration and burnout. - The Same 40 People, Year After Year
Without a strategy to expand your reach, you’re stuck selling to the same circle of friends and family every time.
The Sudz Fundraising Advantage
Sudz Fundraising flips that broken model on its head. Instead of selling trinkets nobody needs, Sudz empowers you to sell laundry detergent a product every household uses.

- People actually need.
- Saves them money compared to store brands.

Real Story: From Frustration to Funding
Coach Mike was on the verge of giving up on fundraising.
Last year’s efforts had left him and his team discouraged. Organizing events, reminding parents, collecting checks…it felt like a second full-time job.
Then he discovered Sudz.
In the first 7 days, the team sold over 90 buckets of detergent. Within 3 weeks, they exceeded their $4,500 goal. By the end, they had over $5,200 in profit and their supporters were asking when they could buy again!
No stress. No guilt. Just results. The best part? The detergent was a hit. Many parents said they’d never go back to store-bought brands.
Why Sudz Works (The Psychology Behind It)
People want to feel like they’re getting something valuable when they support a cause.
Psychologists call this the Value Exchange Principle: When supporters feel like they’re receiving a high-quality, useful product, they’re more likely to buy and buy again.
With Sudz Fundraising, supporters:
- Get a product they already use.
- Support a cause they believe in.
- Feel good about their purchase, no buyer’s remorse.
That’s why Sudz Fundraising isn’t just another sale; it’s a money machine that builds loyalty.
