Fund Your Chapter’s Future—It’s as Easy as Browse, Click, Shop.
Are you ready to ditch the popcorn buckets and raise funds for your cause in a way that’s actually fun and rewarding? Say hello to Worldwide Origins’ Fundraising Opportunity—a fresh, exciting, and hassle-free way to support your chapter while shopping for things you actually want. Yes, you read that right. No more stockpiling snacks you didn’t need in the first place. This time, you get to shop for what you love and make a difference at the same time!
How It Works
Worldwide Origins has created a win-win fundraising experience that’s as simple as it is effective. Here’s the scoop:
- Shop ‘Til You Drop (Online, of Course): For a two-week period, your chapter members can shop online at www.worldwideorigins.com. With a unique order code assigned to your chapter, every purchase (minus shipping) will count toward your fundraising total. From home goods to unique gifts, there’s something for everyone on the site!
- Cha-Ching! Earn 25% of Total Sales: At the end of the two weeks, Worldwide Origins will calculate the total revenue generated by your chapter’s shopping spree. Your chapter will receive a payout of 25% of the total sales. That’s right—your cause gets a quarter of every dollar spent!
- Get Paid Your Way: Once the fundraiser wraps up, your chapter’s earnings can be sent via Zelle or a company check. Easy peasy.
Why This Fundraiser is a Game-Changer
Let’s face it: traditional fundraisers can be a bit of a drag. Selling the same old products, chasing down payments, and dealing with inventory can take the fun out of supporting a good cause. But with Worldwide Origins, fundraising becomes a breeze. Here’s why:
- No Selling Required: Members don’t have to knock on doors or make awkward sales pitches. All they have to do is shop online.
- Shop for What You Love: Instead of buying items you don’t need, you can choose from a wide variety of products that you’ll actually use and enjoy.
- Flexible and Convenient: You pick the best two-week window for your chapter’s fundraiser. The first available dates are November 1–15, 2025, so act fast to lock in your spot!
