We live in a truly digital era, with limitless accessibility and connectivity that could not have been imagined just ten years ago. Our smartphones and tablets have become as much a part of who we are as the clothes we wear.

Just look at how digital connectivity has transformed the way we live:

• We stay in round-the-clock contact with friends and family through our phones and social media

• We shop online anytime and anywhere, filling our carts with clicks instead of reaching for goods on a shelf

• Our phones and tablets are our always-on sources of news and entertainment

The many innovations of the digital age give us convenience, connection and a never-ending supply of comical cat videos. 

But not every facet of life has kept pace with the digital revolution.

Old-school fundraising demands lots of time and effort

So many of the fundraising options available to organizations remain stuck in an earlier, less evolved, infinitely less innovative era.

Look around and you’ll still see:

• team members—and their weary parents—selling from tables in the parking lots of mega-stores, weathering the wind and rain

• kids ringing doorbell after doorbell, reciting their sales pitches on chilly front porches

• moms and dads selling to colleagues at the office on behalf of their kids

And once the selling phase is finished, the work is often just beginning. Orders must now be fulfilled, which means delivering product to every supporter who’s made a purchase. And if someone’s not home, you have to make another trip. And another. 

It’s hard work, but it’s what many organizations expect if they want to raise funds to purchase uniforms, sports equipment and band instruments, pay for travel to tournaments, or buy the countless items on countless wish lists. 

That was then, this is now

Double Good virtual fundraising delivers the ideal solution for the digital age. It represents the efficient confluence of:

• cellular technology that connects you anywhere and everywhere

• vast, sprawling personal networks that aren’t limited by borders or distance

• social media that keeps you informed about what’s going in the lives of the people who are important to you

• online shopping that offers 24/7 one-click convenience

Double Good’s innovative platform optimizes the ease and convenience of e-commerce to make fundraising headache-free for organizers, fun for sellers and easy for buyers.

The smartest online fundraiser

Double Good online fundraising makes it easy for sports teams, cheer and dance squads, bands and orchestras, school groups, and fraternities and sororities to raise the funds that allow them to make dreams come true.

These organizations sell award-winning, small batch Double Good popcorn and keep 50% of everything they sell.

The time commitment, hard work and inefficiencies of old-school fundraising are no more:

• Instead of fundraising events that drag on for weeks, Double Good fundraisers make it possible for you to reach or surpass your fundraising goals in just 4 days

• There’s no door-to-door or parking-lot selling: each of your team members creates their own online store and then shares the link to that store via text to family and friends

• There’s no cash to collect, no paperwork to maintain, no product to distribute: your supporters shop, order and pay online, and Double Good pops each order and ships it direct to every supporter’s doorstep

Delivering more of what everyone wants

Fundraising organizers now can schedule a fundraising event in a matter of days. They no longer need to spend time on complicated logistics, worry about collecting cash or coordinate the delivery of product. 

With Double Good virtual fundraising, organizers schedule their fundraising event online, share the unique link with their team members, and then monitor the success of the fundraiser through the online dashboard.

Sellers simply download the app, create their own individual Pop-Up Stores®, then share the link to their store with family and friends. 

Our online fundraising toolkit provides helpful videos and templates for promoting their stores on social media. 

And the Double Good app makes the entire experience fun for sellers, allowing them to share virtual high-fives, send messages via team chat, earn achievement badges and watch each other’s performance on a live leaderboard. 

It’s all designed to boost friendly competition and enhance seller engagement and participation throughout the 4-day fundraiser, which will increase the likelihood of reaching or exceeding the fundraising goal.

Supporters can explore the many delicious Double Good popcorn flavors, place their orders and pay—all online. And Double Good prepares each order and ships it direct to any address in the U.S. 

What’s more, Double Good’s array of curated collections makes it fun and easy for supporters to fill their carts with a single click.

It’s time to take your fundraising to the next level

Advances in technology mean we no longer need to take a steamship in order to travel to Europe, wait days for a personal message to reach its recipient or be satisfied with just a handful of channels on our TVs. 

In today’s digital age, organizations no longer have to settle for fundraising that demands a great deal of labor for a fairly small return. 

Double Good online fundraising has changed the game for good, and sports teams, cheer and dance squads, bands and orchestras, and school groups are the clear winners.

Schedule your fundraiser now and find out what your organization can do in just four days.
