Popcorn Fundraiser Arizona: Earn Up to 50% Profit for Your Organization

Your organization needs money. You also need a fundraiser that people will actually buy from.

Cactus Corn has been selling gourmet popcorn in Arizona since 1998, and for just as long, we've helped schools, sports teams, nonprofits, and community groups raise money without asking them to convince people to buy something they don't want.

Popcorn works because it tastes good. People eat popcorn. It's not a guilt purchase.

Here's How It Works

Step 1: Contact us. Tell us about your organization, the size of your group, and when you need to fundraise. We'll walk you through what's available and answer any questions.

Step 2: Choose your products. Pick from our selection of Southwest-inspired flavors like Prickly Pear, Hatch Green Chile Cheddar, White Cheddar Jalapeno, and more. Classic flavors like Butter and Cheddar are also available. Your sellers can show samples, and customers can taste what they're buying.

Step 3: Set your dates. We work with you to pick a timeframe that fits your schedule and your community's calendar. School fundraisers work best during the fall or spring. Sports teams often align with their seasons.

Step 4: Sell and support. Your team sells the popcorn. We handle the production and delivery. Your sellers are selling a product they can believe in because it's actually good.

Step 5: Collect your profits. At the end of your fundraiser, you get your share. Simple as that.

Why Popcorn Beats Other Fundraisers

Let's be honest about the alternatives.

Candy bars: High profit margins seem attractive until you realize nobody buys them anymore. A candy bar is a guilt purchase, and people are tired of it. You'll have unsold inventory in your closet.

Wrapping paper: Bulk, hard to store, and most families buy what they need online now. The profit margin looks good on paper, but actual sales disappoint.

Cookie dough: Temperature-sensitive, requires storage space, and the profit margin is often 30% or less. Plus, not everyone eats cookie dough.

Popcorn: People buy it because they want to eat it. Our profit margins run up to 50%, and the product sits in a normal pantry. It's light, easy to transport, and easy to sell. When your group finishes the fundraiser, there's no leftover inventory to deal with.

We're not saying popcorn is the only option. We're saying it works better than what most organizations try.

Arizona's Fundraiser Popcorn Partner Since 1998

We started making popcorn in Phoenix in 1998, and fundraisers have been part of our story from the beginning. We've worked with elementary schools across the Phoenix area, middle school sports teams, high school bands and choirs, churches, Scout troops, PTAs, and nonprofit organizations.

We know Arizona fundraisers. We know that fall fundraisers compete with back-to-school schedules. We know that spring fundraisers have a different feel. We work around your calendar, not the other way around.

Who This Works For

  • Schools: Elementary, middle, and high schools. PTAs, specific grades, class trips, music programs.
  • Sports teams: Football, soccer, volleyball, baseball, basketball, gymnastics. Youth teams and high school teams.
  • Religious organizations: Churches, temples, youth groups, mission groups.
  • Scouts: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts. Any Scout organization needing to raise funds.
  • Nonprofits: Community organizations, service groups, fundraisers for specific causes.

If your group has a goal and people willing to sell, popcorn is an option worth considering.
