Nobody needs more cookie dough.
Everybody has a dryer.
Your school, team or non-profit earns $40 for every dryer vent cleaning booked through your campaign. Families get a service they actually need. You get a fundraiser nobody has to apologize for at the door.
◆ No minimum bookings ◆ No upfront cost ◆ Nothing to store or deliver
The math
What $40 a cleaning actually adds up to
Illustrative examples, not promises — your result depends on how many families book. But the per-booking number is fixed, so the math is yours to run.
For comparison: a typical product fundraiser nets the organization somewhere around 40–50 cents on the dollar, and every one of those dollars has to be collected, tracked, boxed and hand-delivered.
How it works
Three steps. You do one of them.
Partner
Fill out the form below. We set up your campaign with a dedicated link and promo code, and send you a partner kit — flyer, social graphics, sample newsletter copy and a QR code. Usually within two business days.
Share
Send the link. Newsletter, team group chat, Facebook page, backpack flyer, table at the game. Supporters book a cleaning like they normally would — nothing to collect, nothing to hand out.
Earn
Every booking with your link or code credits $40 to your organization. We track it, you can check the running total any time, and we mail a check at the end of the campaign.
Why this one works
The hardest part of fundraising is asking. This ask is easy.
Every product fundraiser has the same problem: you're asking a neighbor to buy something they didn't want at a price they wouldn't pay, as a favor to your kid. It works on guilt, and everybody involved knows it.
This one is different in a way parents notice immediately. Dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance job most households are already overdue for. The leading contributing factor in residential clothes dryer fires is failure to clean — and the fix is one appointment.
So the pitch isn't "please buy this." It's "you need this done anyway, and if you book it through us, the band gets $40." That's a conversation people say yes to.
- No inventory. Nothing to order, count, store in a garage, or sort into bags at 9pm.
- No delivery day. The single biggest volunteer burden in product fundraising just doesn't exist here.
- No money handling. Nobody collects cash or chases down an unpaid order form.
- No expiration. Supporters book whenever it suits them inside the campaign window.
- Genuinely useful. Every booking leaves a family safer, which makes it an easy thing to advocate for.

How credit is tracked
Three ways to get counted, so nothing slips through
Most fundraiser bookings don't come from the link you posted. They come from a parent telling another parent at pickup. All three routes credit your campaign.

Fundraiser FAQ
What organizers ask first
What does it cost our organization to participate?
Nothing. No signup fee, no minimum bookings, no obligation to hit a number, and no cost if the campaign underperforms. If two families book, you earn $80. If nobody books, you owe nothing and we part as friends.
How much does each booking earn us?
$40 flat for every dryer vent cleaning booked through your campaign — whether the customer books the $150 first-floor service or the $250 roof-vented service. Same rate for every organization, no tiers based on size.
How long does a campaign run?
90 days by default. That's long enough to hit two or three communication cycles — a newsletter, an event, a reminder — without dragging on so long everyone forgets. If your calendar needs a different window, ask.
How and when do we get paid?
By check, mailed to your organization after the campaign closes and the final bookings are completed. You can check your running total any time during the campaign — just call or email.
What if a supporter forgets to use our link?
They still count, as long as they mention your organization. We ask every caller during an active campaign. Between the link, the promo code and simply telling us, it's difficult for a booking to go uncredited.
Is there a geographic limit?
Yes — supporters need to be within 50 miles of Columbus, Ohio for us to service them. That covers Franklin County and most of Delaware, Union, Madison, Fairfield and Licking counties.
Can we run this alongside another fundraiser?
Yes, and it tends to work well that way. Because there's no inventory, no order forms and no delivery day, it doesn't compete for the volunteer hours your other fundraiser needs.
Do we have to be a registered 501(c)(3)?
No. Booster clubs, teams, classrooms and informal community groups all qualify. We just need a real organization and a real person accountable for it. Note that this is a revenue share paid to your organization, not a charitable donation — check with your treasurer on how to record it.
