Non-profit organizations rely on raising funds to run their programs and do their worthwhile work.
Today, there are serious challenges in raising money - for several reasons:
1- economic challenges across the country that have resulted in lower donations
2- there are more charitable organizations today which have people splitting their support
3- younger people are not donating to charities at similar levels their parents or grandparents did
An Alternative Way to Raise Funds:
Offer people who want to support their cause the opportunity to buy products they already purchase for themselves and their homes - on an ongoing basis - and have monies from the sale given to their cause.
As they re-order these disposable products, the non-profit organization continues to earn money month after month.
The customer retention rate of this brand is very high because the products are so good.
Benefits to the Non-Profit Organization:
No cost to join this Cause Fundraising program as a distributor to create income and no purchase required by the non-profit
Free order website where supporters order and pay for products
No handling products or money from individuals or shipping products
Money generated sent to non-profit by check or direct deposited monthly
Opportunity to earn significant funds month after month providing top-quality products
Benefits to the Supporters of the Non-Profit Organization:
Home products that are extremely effective, safe and green
Nutrition products that improve health and change lives - guaranteed
The chance to help their cause ongoing.

Considerations:
Shaklee has a 54+ year history of philanthropic efforts - committed to benefit local communities throughout their history.
There is no requirement for non-profit to purchase products.
There is no requirement for supporters to participate in the program and never any minimum ordering requirements if they do participate.
All product purchases include a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee.
The Cause Fundraising involvement with Shaklee can be terminated at any time.
Individual tax-related questions should be reviewed with the non-profit's tax advisor.
Getting Started:
An application form is completed and requires a document that states the non-profit's name, federal tax ID number and tax exempt status.
If the non-profit is sales tax exempt, copies of the state's Tax Exempt Organization Form and the certification of exemption are required (certification of exemption not required in the following states: AK, AR, AZ, DE, IA, ID, LA, MT, NH, OH, OR and WA).
A contact person that is a volunteer for the organization is assigned (should not be a paid employee of the nonprofit unless approved by the nonprofit's tax advisor).
A website is given to the nonprofit and the Shaklee distributor who sponsors the nonprofit helps them set up the customizable sections.
The nonprofit has a back office where there are tracking tools that measure sales, purchasers, earnings and growth potential.
The distributor that sponsors the non-profit will be the Shaklee contact and support for the organization.
Will present company and product information.
Will educate non-profit supporters on use of products.
Will offer access to written product information and online resources including audio, video and written.
