Fundraising with Best Darn Kettlecorn

Your group keeps 50%

Small-batch kettle corn people actually want to buy — and half of every dollar goes straight to your group. No cash to collect, no order forms to chase.

See what your group could raise

Move the sliders. Most groups land between 15 and 40 sellers, and a typical supporter spends about $35.

Your goals — and where it goes if you fly past

Set the second one too close and a group on a run clears it the same afternoon — and you're back to a bar reading 100%.

AmountWhat it funds
Your goal
Your first stretch goal — where it goes if you hit your goal
Your second stretch goal — make this at least double your initial goal

These follow your goal automatically — type over either one and it stays put. Drag the sliders past your goal to watch the thermometer move up to the next target instead of stopping at 100%.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your group. Fill in the form below — your goal, roughly how many sellers, and which three extra flavors you want.
  2. Send us your seller list. First name, last initial, grade. We generate a personal link and QR code for every seller.
  3. They share their link. Text, group chat, email, or the printed flyer. Supporters order online and pay by card — nobody handles cash.
  4. We deliver, sorted. Everything arrives packed and labeled by seller, ready to hand out. You send us nothing but a thank-you.
The line-up

What they'll be selling

Every fundraiser is built on these six — the flavors we hold in bulk, which is how we deliver hundreds of orders on time. Your group then picks three more from the full line-up, including seasonal flavors for Halloween and Christmas.

Everybody earns

Every seller earns something

Most fundraisers only reward the top three, so everybody else stops trying in week one. Ours pays out the whole way down — sell a handful and you've earned Kettlecorn Cash to spend at our store.

ITEMS SOLD KETTLECORN CASH
5 $5
10 $10
20 $25
35 $50
50 or more $75

Kettlecorn Cash spend like cash at our Bristol Amish Market store, on anything we sell. Handed out with your delivery, good for twelve months.

Top 3 sellers

Medals, top billing on the leaderboard, and a $200 prize budget your group awards however your policy allows — gift cards, tickets, or product.

Winning class

A popcorn party for the whole class, on us. For groups without classes, that budget goes to bigger prizes for first, second and third.

Live standings

A leaderboard your sellers can check any time — with a thermometer showing how close the group is, and how many more each seller needs to reach their next tier.

The fine print

The details, up front

  • Your group keeps 50% of product sales.
  • Nothing to pay, ever. No deposit, no set-up fee, no minimum order. You do not need a treasurer's approval to start.
  • Sellers need 10 items to qualify for prizes. At least half a class must sell for that class to win the party.
  • No shipping. Everything is delivered to you or collected — so none of your money goes on postage.
  • All fundraiser flavors are nut-free. Our kitchen handles wheat, but does not handle peanuts.
One minute

Ask us about a fundraiser

Nine questions, about a minute. This is an inquiry, not a commitment — nothing is booked until we have spoken and agreed dates.

What happens next: we reply within two working days, usually the same day. We talk through your goal, your flavors and a delivery date we can actually make. Only then do you get the agreement to sign — and only then is it booked.

A ballpark is fine. We'll set your goal and two stretch goals together before you launch — see the calculator above for why the stretch goals matter.
Delivery is one drop-off, to one address, on a date we agree together. Tell us if you're working to a hard deadline — a game, a concert, a holiday — and we'll tell you straight away whether we can make it.

No commitment. We'll reply with dates we can make, and the agreement only comes after we've both said yes.
