Fundraising for Schools, Sports Teams, Church Groups, and More

Whether you're fundraising for your team's first trip to the state championships or your club's final field trip of the year, Country Meats fundraisers can help get you there.

Here's how it works: just fill out our easy online form to create an account for your nonprofit. Once you're in, there are three easy ways to start fundraising:

1. Sell Meat Sticks In-Person. Think you know what your supporters will love? Place an order for your favorite meat stick flavors and start selling them at your school's sporting events, your church's bake sale, in your work's break room, or anywhere hungry folks are looking for a quick, healthy snack.
2. Take Meat Stick Pre-Orders. After you create your account, grab a few of our handy pre-order forms and start taking pre-orders. Get your friends, family members, and co-workers to commit to their favorite flavors in whatever quantity they desire. Aggregate the orders, purchase the product*, and then deliver delicious meat sticks to your eager customers. *Pre-orders must be purchased by calling us at 1-800-277-8989.
3. Online Fundraising. Go digital with your fundraising efforts. When you create an account, just indicate that you'd like to participate in online fundraising and we'll provide you with a custom ordering URL. Spread the word to your friends, family members, and coworkers near or far and send them your URL - every order placed through your custom link effortlessly generates funds for your cause!

You pay just $.75 for each meat stick that you'll sell for $1.50. That means you get to keep 50% of the proceeds from each meat stick - that's a whopping $113 for every case you sell! Regardless of which method (or methods!) you choose, our generous profit-sharing model will have you well on your way to your fundraising goals in no time.

Whatever your cause, our selection of sweet, savory, and spicy meat sticks will have your classmates, friends, family members, and neighbors lining up to support your nonprofit. Still not sold? Check out our FAQs, order a free sample pack, or send us an email - we're here to help!
