Frequently Asked Questions

General

What makes Koru so revolutionary?

Koru is committed to providing a new type of fundraising program. One where everyone involved can feel good about. Our complimentary educational resources, our quality products and our competitive prices are just some of the things that make us who we are.

Koru is committed to giving back and has pledged to give 1% of sales to environmental charities. We are also doing our best to practice what we preach. Some of the things we do to mininize our footprint is take public transit instead of owning cars, send one big shipment rather than lots of shipments to individual households and only print on FSC certified paper.

Do I have to support a charity to be involved?

Not at all. We have chosen to give at least one percent of our sales back to charity and would be delighted if you chose to dedicate part of your sales to charity. If you can’t afford to, we understand and you can feel good knowing a charity of your choice is being supported.

Products

What is the profit margin for participating groups?

For catalog sales groups keep 40-50% of the total sales. If a group sells less than $10,000 the profit margin is 40%, $10,000-$20,000 this increases to 45% of the total sales and any groups who sell above $20,000 recieve 50% of the total sales.

For the branded bottle program groups can sell the bottles for as much as they would like. If sold for $20, the profit margin is 40%.

Programs

What if my group is small?

We want to encourage everyone to use responsible fundraising and that is why with the Koru fundraising catalog there are no minimum group sizes or minimum orders.

What if I am in Canada?

Koru Fundraising works with schools and groups across both the United States and Canada.

Education

Is it a requirement for my group to use the educational resources?

It is certainly not a requirement, but it is recommended for goodwill and will also increase the success of the program. Education is the resource for change.

What do the educational resources cost?

They are free
