Profitable, home-based children's fundraising franchise generating $280,000 in annual revenue and $80,000 in net profit, with the stated discretionary earnings remaining stable for more than three years. Established in 2014, the business partners with elementary schools to deliver two-week fundraising programs focused on youth leadership, teamwork, and healthy living.
The established territory serves Central Virginia, including the Richmond, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Hanover, York, and Fredericksburg markets. The business had contracts in place with 15 schools for the 2024–25 period and offers three service models: full-service, semi-service, and DIY.
The seasonal operating model provides an attractive work-life balance, with the main operating periods running from February through April and September through November, followed by complete dormancy from Thanksgiving through January. Four employees support the operation.
Significant expansion potential exists through additional elementary schools, expansion into middle and high schools, nonprofit events, and geographic growth into Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Northern Virginia outside the existing franchise territory. Current market penetration is stated at just 1.6%.
The franchisor provides ongoing sales, marketing, technology and training support, while the current owner is also willing to train and assist the buyer. Owner financing is available, providing additional flexibility for a suitable purchaser.
