Cookie dough, popcorn, wrapping paper, candles: whatever your group is selling, the money only adds up if the orders are tracked properly. A good fundraiser order form lets each seller record who bought what, how much they paid and where to deliver it, without a pile of scribbled notes.
Here are six free fundraiser order form templates in PDF, Word and Excel. They suit school PTAs, sports teams, scout troops, churches and small nonprofits alike.
How a Fundraiser Order Form Works
Each seller gets a form. As they take orders from family, neighbors and coworkers, they fill in one row per customer. At the end of the sale, the forms come back to a coordinator, who totals the items, places one bulk order with the supplier and later hands out the goods. The coordinator form in this collection is designed for that final step.
Columns Worth Having
- Customer name and phone number
- Quantity of each product (one column per item)
- Total amount due
- Paid? (cash, check or online)
- Delivered? (a checkbox)
- Seller name and group or classroom at the top
Fundraiser Order Form Templates
Running the Sale, Week by Week
Week 1: Launch
Hand out forms with a clear deadline and a short note explaining what the money is for. People give more when they know the goal, whether it’s new uniforms or a class trip.
Weeks 2–3: Sell
Send one friendly reminder midway. If you are offering prizes to top sellers, mention the leaderboard. A printable coupon for a small reward can keep kids motivated.
Week 4: Collect and order
Gather forms and money, check the totals in Excel, and place the order with your supplier. Keep everything alongside your nonprofit budget worksheet so income and costs stay in one place.
Delivery day
Sort products by seller, use a sign-out sheet as families collect their orders, and give each buyer a payment receipt if they ask for one.
Money tip: have two people count cash together and record totals on the form before it goes to the bank. It protects volunteers and keeps the books clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the fundraiser order forms?
Yes. The Word and Excel files are fully editable, so you can add your group’s name, logo, products and prices. The PDFs are ready to print.
Should payment be collected with the order or on delivery?
Collecting payment with the order is safer, because you only buy stock that has already been paid for. Make the policy clear at the top of the form.
How many products should one form list?
Keep it to around 6 to 12 items. Too many choices slow buyers down and make tallying harder.
