Yes, You Can Raise Serious Funds Without Adding to Your To-Do List
If you are serving on your school’s PTA, parent council, or fundraising committee, we already know a few things about you. You care deeply about your school community. You want the absolute best resources for your students. And, most importantly, you are incredibly busy.
Volunteering shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Yet, so many traditional school fundraisers require an exhausting amount of coordination—sorting through order sheets, chasing down payments, counting inventory, and managing complex logistics that eat up dozens of hours of your personal time.
At Connection in Color, we believe there is a better way. We have designed an art fundraising program built entirely around a simple rule: keeping it low effort for you. As the experts in this space, we handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy the rewards.
Here is exactly how we keep it simple, stress-free, and highly profitable for your school.
The 2-Hour Volunteer Rule
We know your time is precious, which is why we have streamlined our entire process to ensure school volunteers spend minimal time on logistics. In fact, your role is broken down into just a few simple, bite-sized tasks:
- Hand out the art sheets to classrooms.
- Collect the completed student projects and send them back to us.
- Distribute the pre-packaged orders to the classrooms once they arrive.
That’s it. There is no sorting through messy piles of orders or dealing with loose change. Our team handles the rest, from hosting a secure, dedicated e-commerce platform for parent orders to beautifully printing and individually packaging every single item by classroom.
Zero Admin Burden for Teachers
We respect your teachers’ classroom time. That’s why our program integrates seamlessly into standard, curriculum-required art instruction. Teachers don’t need to plan extra lessons or take on admin tasks. Students simply create their unique designs during regular class time using their favorite everyday mediums—like markers, tempera paint, or watercolors. We even provide quick, helpful guides with simple tips (like skipping the glitter) to ensure the final student creations look absolutely stunning when printed.
Real Financial Returns for Your School
Keeping things simple doesn’t mean compromising on your fundraising goals. Because we take care of the fulfillment and technology, your community gets a premium experience that drives excellent engagement.
While schools can earn up to 40% on product sales, our schools see a highly reliable average return of 28% to 30% on program sales. With an average student order sitting around $37.00, those returns add up quickly to fund the vital initiatives, field trips, and technology your school needs.
Let’s Keep It Simple This Year
Fundraising doesn’t have to be synonymous with burnout. You can bring a deeply meaningful, creative program to your school community while protecting your own time and energy. We’ve spent years perfecting this system so that it feels less like a chore and more like a celebration.
