Fundraiser Policy

Here at Goat Milk Stuff, we believe in helping people. There are so many wonderful causes and groups out there needing support to make a difference. We think your cause is very important and we would like to help you reach your financial goals. To that end, we have developed a fundraiser program. We believe our soaps make a wonderful fundraiser because they are very appealing to a wide range of people. After all, everyone needs soap!

How The Fundraiser Works
We're making available eleven of our most popular goat milk soaps to use in your fundraiser. We chose these soaps because they are the ones that are most likely to help you raise the most funds possible. Only these eleven soaps are available at the discounted fundraiser pricing. (If you wish to purchase other items at full price you may do so on our retail website).

There are two methods of running your fundraiser.
1. You may purchase the soaps ahead of time and sell them.
2. You may take orders from people, then purchase the soaps, then deliver them.
There are pros and cons with each method and they are equally popular.

Please be aware that this program is for selling the soaps directly to people in a face-to-face environment. If you are stating online that you are using our soaps as a fundraiser, you may not use our photos or our soap descriptions. You must take your own photos and write your own descriptions to post on your website or blog. You may post links to our website.

Cost of the Soaps
We recommend that you charge $6.50 for each bar of soap. The soap will cost you $3.25 for each bar.

Our program requires you to sell a minimum of 50 bars of soap to receive the $3.25 fundraiser pricing. If you are unable to sell at least 50 bars, we have a one time exception for you at the following pricing:

• 50+ bars sold $3.25 each
• 40+ bars sold $4.00 each
• 30+ bars sold $4.50 each
• 20+ bars sold $5.25 each

If you do not sell at least 50 bars, you will need to contact us before placing your order, so the pricing can be adjusted.

To summarize, if you sell at least 50 bars, you will keep $3.25 for every $6.50 bar of soap you sell!

How to Begin Your Fundraiser
1. First register on the GMS Fundraiser website.
2. You will then receive an email to activate your account and choose a password.
3. Let us know once you are registered and activated so we can approve your account.
4. You are now ready to start selling by taking orders or purchase goat milk soaps to sell.
5. Print out as many fundraiser forms as you need. The form has color photos of the soaps with descriptions on the front and an order form on the back. (If you are purchasing the soaps ahead of time you may not need to print any of these out.)

Payments
You will pay for your fundraiser goat milk soaps directly on the website when you place your order. If you are collecting checks from people, have them make the check out to you. You will need to then pay for your order with a credit card or a single check. We legally are required to collect sales tax in certain states. So if you are tax-free, please send us a copy of your tax-free form before placing your order.

Shipping
We can only ship the fundraisers to one address. We do not ship them to other people for you. If you are selling them long distance, we will send them to you and you will need to distribute them.

Once your order and payment are received, we will ship the soap to you within 2 business days via USPS which is 2-5 days to most U.S. addresses. You may then disperse the soaps to your customers. Each soap is individually labeled with the scent, so they are easily identifiable.

Your fundraiser goat milk soaps will ship with USPS and we subsidize part of your shipping costs for you and do not charge you the full amount. Shipping costs depend on how far you are from us in Indiana. They generally range from $7-$10 for every 72 bars of soap you order.

Samples
People often ask if we have samples to take around with you as you sell. We've seen mixed results with this. If the soaps are handled too much, the oils from people's fingers can get on the soaps and they stop smelling. Or, if you carry around several scents, they intermingle and don't smell true. If you'd like to purchase samples, we can do that, just contact us and let us know what you'd like to do.

Ingredients
If you have people with allergy concerns, the ingredients for each soap are listed on the individual goat milk soap pages. All of the soaps are gluten free.

Order Processing
We ask that you place your fundraiser orders through the website and give us at least 24 hours notice before picking them up. If you instead choose to bring your orders into the store, there will be a $50 fee for us to place the order through the website for you, and it may take us an hour or two to pull the order without advance notice.

Please let us know if you have any questions or if you have any suggestions for improving the program. We look forward to working with you and helping you meet your goals!
