How do I get started?
If the organization you want to support is listed, then you may select that organization and start earning today. If your organization is not listed then the organization needs to complete the Partner Organization registration process.
If your organization is listed and you want to become an individual member, please contact your group leader. He/she is the only person who can add individual members to a group.
Are there membership requirements?
Not many. The organization you wish to support must have completed the Partner Organization registration process and you must agree to the All-Year-Fundraising terms and conditions prior to shopping. There is no complicated set-up process.
Is there a membership fee?
No. Using All-Year-Fundraising doesn't cost you anything.
Who can participate?
Anyone can participate. This is what makes our program such a powerful fund raising tool. When a supporter chooses your organization at www.allyearfundraising.com and links to one of our participating merchants their shopping supports your organization. It's that simple!
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can shop without an account. An account is only needed if you would like to track the status of your rebates or maintain a record of your contributions.
What are the benefits of creating an account?
Creating an account with All Year Fundraising allows access to the following features:
- Record of Contributions (for possible tax benefits)
- Checking the status of rebates (pending vs. available funds)
- Save the organizations you support most often to your account. Setting up the "Speed Shop List" option makes it so you don't have to search for your organization(s) every time you shop.
Members who are managing accounts have:
- Ability to send emails to your supporters reminding them to support your favorite organization(s).
- Access to flyers to advertise your organization's fund raiser and spread the word.
What information do I need to provide to create an account?
Just your name, email and a password.
How do I access my account?
You can instantly view your account by clicking on the Manage Account tab in the top navigation bar at www.allyearfundraising.com.
How do I find my organization?
Easy, go to www.allyearfundraising.com and either select your organization from the drop down list or search for your organization by name or city and state.
How do I know if I am shopping for my organization?
All Year Fundraising has made it easy to know which organization you are shopping for. While on the All Year Fundraising site the organization you have selected will be listed in the right hand column of the web page. As long as you continue shopping through www.allyearfundraising.com you will be shopping and donating your rebates to the organization listed. If you have not selected an organization that will be indicated in the right hand column as well.
Can I support more than one school or organization?
Yes. You can either shop through www.allyearfundraising.com by selecting the organization you would like to shop for each time you shop or you can create an account. An account allows you to create a 'Speed Shop' list with the organizations of your choice. Each time you log in, your list of selected organization(s) will appear allowing you to quickly choose who you would like to shop for. You will also have the opportunity to change or add organization(s) to your list or search for a different organization. Please note that each purchase can benefit only one organization
.Can my purchase support more than one organization at a time?
No. Your qualifying purchase can only benefit one organization at a time. You must select the organization you are shopping for and then link to a participating merchant through www.allyearfundraising.com in order for your organization to receive credit for your rebate. Please be sure to select the organization you wish to support prior to shopping. Changes cannot be made after your purchase has been completed.
Do I have to start at www.allyearfundraising.com every time I shop?
Yes. Your organization only earns cash back when you enable cookies, select your organization and link to one of our participating merchants. If you access a merchant's site directly or by opening another window/tab, your rebate will not be applied to your account. This is the only way for our participating merchants to track your purchases, which then enables us to forward the rebates you earn to your organization.
Do I need to enable cookies on my web browser?
Yes. Cookies must be enabled on your web browser.
What are cookies?
Cookies are packages of information stored as text in your computer that are used by the server to keep track of your activities on a certain web site. It is necessary for 'cookies' to be enabled on your web browser in order to qualify for the rebate. This is how we track your purchases.
How do I enable them?
In general the 'enable cookies' function can be found under the 'options tab' of your web browser. For specific instructions on how to enable cookies on a few common web browsers click here
What if I come back later to make my purchase?
If you are shopping through www.allyearfundraising.com, decide not to purchase and return to shopping at a later time, please be sure to come back to www.allyearfundraising.com to ensure your organization will receive your rebate.
Do I have to provide my personal information to the merchant to make a purchase?
Yes. Please remember that All Year Fundraising does not have your personal contact or credit card information. When making a purchase, you are sent directly to a participating merchant's site. You are no longer on www.allyearfundraising.com. In order to complete the purchase you will need to provide your shipping and billing information, as you would for any other online purchase. We do not provide any of your information to the merchant nor do we have access to any information kept on the merchant's secure server. Please be aware of each individual store's terms and conditions, as you will be bound by them. We have no record of what was purchased. Your personal shopping will not be kept on record or sent to your organization.
Can I use a gift card or gift certificate?
No. Our merchants do not allow supporters to use gift cards or gift certificates when shopping through www.allyearfundraising.com.
What about returns or exchanges?
Returns:
Returns are subject to the return policy of the participating merchant from which you purchased the item(s). If you return or cancel an item then the merchant either does not send the rebate or requires All Year Fundraising to return the rebate. We then have to reverse any rebate that was awarded to your account.
Exchanges:
Exchanges processed through the merchant will reverse the rebate from your original purchase. The merchant treats the exchange as a return and a new purchase. In doing so, the purchase made through All Year Fundraising is cancelled and a new order is created. The new purchase is made directly through the merchant and does not qualify for a rebate. The original rebate will then be revoked. Therefore, to ensure you receive your deserved rebate you must return the item and then make your desired purchase through www.allyearfundraising.com.
All exchanges and returns are subject to the terms and conditions of the participating merchant.
When will my organization receive funds from All-Year-Fundraising?
In most cases, All Year Fundraising receives the rebate credited from your purchases in approximately 45 days. Once the rebate is received from the merchant the contribution will be credited to your organization's account. The group leader can request a check at any time, but is limited to one disbursement check per month. Again, please remember that All Year Fundraising can only pass rebates on to you that it has actually received from the participating stores. Please refer to the All-Year-Fundraising terms and conditions for further details.
How do you protect my privacy?
We value your business and respect your privacy. No details of your shopping will be released to third parties. We do not sell your information. All purchases are made directly through our merchants' secure servers. We do not retain, or even have access to, any of your credit card or personal information. The only information we have access to is that information provided by you while creating your account.
What is a Partner Organization?
Partner Organizations are the organizations that create an account with All Year Fundraising. Partner Organizations can be clubs, schools, athletic teams, or any other non-profit organization in need of fund raising. Register today to join All Year Fundraising and become a Partner Organization.
What is a Group Leader?
A Group Leader is the person who sets up and manages an organization's account. The individual must be authorized by the organization to complete the registration process. The Group Leader will set up the organization's account and decide where the organization will receive statements and disbursement checks. The Group Leader is the Organization's contact for All-Year-Fundraising.
What is a Organization Supporter?
Organization Supporters are those individuals who visit www.allyearfundraising.com, select an organization and do their online shopping through one of our participating merchants. A supporter can be a parent, relative, friend, neighbor or anyone else who is willing to allow their online shopping to benefit your organization.
What is a Participating Merchant?

Can I manage more than one Organization?
Yes, if you are the manager of an organization you can register another organization by logging into your account and clicking on the "Register A New Organization" tab in the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen.
I see my organization, but how do I become an individual member?
To be added as an individual member of an organization, please contact your group leader. They are the only person who can add individual members to an organization. Please send them the following information for each individual you want to register: last name, first name, desired screen name (6-8 characters; letters and numbers only), and email address. This information will help them enter individual members more efficiently. After the group leader has entered this information, the individual member will receive a verification email. Please click the link in this email to authorize the individual member. This must be done before the individual member can appear on the All Year Fundraising website.
