Food: Who doesn't love food? If you'd like to sell food for your next fundraiser, there are tons of options available. Try candy like lollipops or gourmet chocolates. Or, why not go with cheesecake and fudge? For fundraising products that are delightfully different, try selling fun-shaped pasta or do-it-yourself pizza kits. You could go with gourmet coffee, or frozen cookie dough in a variety of flavors. Gourmet cheese, smoked sausage, jams, jellies, teas and cocoa also make fantastic fundraising products.

Cookbooks: Cookbooks are always popular choices for fundraising products. People enjoy a good cookbook, and even more so when it helps support a worthwhile cause. Try a specialty cookbook like Italian or Asian foods, or recruit the best recipes from the community and create a down-home cookbook that features family favorites.

T-Shirts: Why not have the name of your school, church, or other organization emblazoned onto cotton T-shirts? Order the shirts in a variety of different sizes and colors to offer everyone in the community the perfect shirt for them.

Seeds & Bulbs: Many people love to garden. Seeds & bulbs can be great fundraising products to help your organization raise money. Try selling tulip bulbs, as well as a variety of perennial and annual seeds. Or, you could have a flower sale and sell flowers in bloom that are offered in pretty pots and containers.

Christmas Items: If it's the holiday season, why not try selling Christmas collectibles like Santa figurines, little snowmen, and Christmas tree ornaments. Or, sell gift wrap, which everyone will need this holiday season!

These represent just a few choices for great fundraising products. There are many other fantastic items out there that you can sell to raise money for your nonprofit organization. No matter what you'd prefer to sell for your fundraiser, you can find it offered by one of the numerous fundraising organizations out there today.
