Cash Calendar Fundraiser Calculator
A calendar fundraiser asks a supporter to pay the number of a date that means something to them — a birthday on the 14th costs $14, an anniversary on the 28th costs $28. One seller collects many small amounts rather than one large one, which is why it raises more per person than almost anything else and why nobody has to ask for a big cheque. This works out the total from your number of sellers, the length of the calendar and how much of it you realistically sell.

Questions people ask
How much does a full calendar raise?
A 30-day calendar sold out is $465 — the sum of 1 to 30. Multiply by the number of sellers, then apply a realistic sell-through; most groups land between 50% and 80%.
Why does it raise more than a raffle?
Because the ask is tiny and personal. Nobody hesitates over $9 for their daughter's birthday, and one seller can comfortably fill a calendar from family and neighbours.
Do we need prizes?
No. There is no prize pool, so 100% goes to the program. Some groups add a small draw among all participants to add momentum, which is optional.
What is a cash calendar fundraiser?
The name is used for two things. Most often it is a raffle calendar: people buy a calendar and a cash prize is drawn on each day of the month. The other is a pick-a-date calendar, where each supporter pays the number of the date they choose and there is no prize at all, so every dollar goes to the cause. This calculator and our Calendar Cash format are the pick-a-date kind.
