Pie fundraiser questions

How much does a pie fundraiser raise in NZ?
Most school pie fundraisers raise $500 to $3,000 over a two to four week selling period. What you make depends on how many families sell, not on which supplier you pick, so the biggest lever is getting order forms home early and setting a firm close date.
Which pie supplier should our school use?
Start with who delivers to you. Marlow covers the South Island, Oxford is Hamilton and the wider North Island, and Maketu and The Oven Door are Bay of Plenty. Once you have the suppliers who can reach you, compare the product range and minimum order with each one directly.
How does a pie fundraiser work?
You pick a supplier, send order forms or an online order link home with students, collect orders and payment over two to three weeks, then place one bulk order. The supplier delivers frozen pies on an agreed day and families collect from school.
Do we need freezer space for a pie fundraiser?
Only briefly. Pies arrive blast-frozen on delivery day and families are asked to collect within a couple of hours, so most schools use chilly bins and a cold delivery window rather than storing anything.
How far ahead should we book a pie fundraiser?
Allow three to four weeks between booking the supplier and delivery day. Term 2 and Term 3 are the strongest selling periods for pies in New Zealand because families are buying dinners anyway.
