We have some new and exciting changes to our Fundraising Program!

NEW! Exciting Changes to the Fundraising Program


Any Demonstrator who is at the leadership level of Gold Demonstrator or above is currently eligible to participate in the Fundraising Program.

Effective Friday, September 24, every Gold Demonstrator and above who submits a fundraiser application will be able to request up to eight FREE Fundraiser Packets while supplies last. Additional packets will be available for 50% off while supplies last. (Demonstrator will request the packets during the application process and will be sent packets upon application approval.)

Please note that these changes apply to any new fundraiser application. On the date the fundraiser closes, we will follow up with you as we endeavor to make our fundraiser process as ‘Demonstrator-friendly’ as possible.

If you are not yet a Gold Demonstrator, we urge you to work with your upline to make it to this level as soon as possible. This is a prime fundraising season for many schools, clubs and other non-profit organizations that could really use your help during some of the toughest economic times we've seen. Your assistance through the Gold Canyon Fundraising Program this season can be your gift to your community!

Even if you're not quite to the Gold Demonstrator level yet, we encourage you to go out and find an organization that needs to raise funds for their cause. Your upline can train you on the Fundraising Program and walk you through the steps of placing the order so you are prepared to hit the ground running when you are able to place your own fundraiser orders. Partner with your upline and use it as a training opportunity for the future. More exciting changes to Gold Canyon's Fundraising Program are still to come, and although thorough training will be made available at the time the program enhancements are released, we want you to have every advantage so you can maximize the outstanding benefits of Gold Canyon's Fundraising Program both in your own business and in your community when the time comes. Look for more exciting changes to the Fundraising Program to be announced early next year!

If you’re new to fundraising, check out the information and testimonials below. Remember, with fundraisers you earn base commission PLUS personal fundraiser override commission. The override is paid out based on the total commissionable monthly fundraiser sales and is paid during the normal processing of monthly commissions. Just this month, Kim Kelland of Yuma, AZ submitted a $15,596.50 fundraiser meaning she took home $1,559.65 in base commission plus another $623.86 in override commission!

The personal fundraiser override commission is paid out based on the following grid:
Fundraiser Sales Ranges (U.S.)
Personal Fundraiser Override Commission

$4,000.00 - $5,499.99 1.0%
$5,500.00 - $6,999.99 1.5%
$7,000.00 - $8,499.99 2.0%
$8,500.00 - $9,999.99 2.5%
$10,000.00 - $11,499.99 3.0%
$11,500.00 - $12,999.99 3.5%
$13,000.00 & Over 4.0%

What Your Fellow Demonstrators are Saying…

“I have many experiences with fundraising but I believe my most success has been with Frank Mullins Football Little League. I have been running this fundraiser every fall since 2004. The league gave me the opportunity and it was so successful they run it as their sole fundraiser every year! It replaced blankets and mugs! The first fundraiser in 2004 was $22,000. It has gone up and down since but they now have parents who look forward to their Gold Canyon candle fall fundraiser!”

Tracy Gagnier

“I have children and I can't and don't want to imagine having to go through what my friends have with their teenage son. He has continuously battled a heart condition his entire life. After a recent open heart surgery, he pulled through even after a stroke during surgery. After being home a few days, his mom asked him how he was feeling during dinner, and being the quirky teenager he was he used a sarcastic little tone with his mom and said 'MOMMMMMM ... I'm FINE ...' As soon as the last word left his mouth, he gasped for air and fell out of his chair. He was called home immediately … at that very moment. I am SURE this story touches you as much as it does me. So, I KNEW I had to help. I was in the process already of working with his aunt to apply for help from the Prayer Child foundation, knowing about all of the insane medical bills his family had to take care of. And now, add the HUGE expenses of a funeral. I knew in my heart, I had to do something to help this boy’s family. I knew I could never donate to them what I could earn for them with Gold Canyon. So, I started a Fundraiser and then I enlisted the help of my team.


"Between myself and my team members we made three beautiful Gold Canyon baskets, and also raffled those off to help. We created an auction site on Facebook, and more people donated to help Ricky and his family.
"I am close to closing this fundraiser and I had set my goals on selling at least 100 candles. I did not make that goal as of yet, but the other stuff and cash donations that came in will make up for that small shortfall. I am at more than 80 candles and I am so excited to hand that nice check over to this family. Also, on a side note, I am not keeping any commission off of this Fundraiser, so that I can add that to what I give this family to help. The more I can do, the happier I will be.
"Knowing that I have a business that can help people in so many ways is a true gift. I LOVE to share our Fundraising Program and the Prayer Child Foundation now. I only hope that in the future I can help others in need of funds…even if that means a simple cheer squad or troop. I could not be MORE proud to be part of this Gold Canyon family!”

“I have done a few fundraisers recently and one that stands out is a school cheerleading and dance squad. They contacted me on a Monday and started the Fundraiser on Thursday. The profit goes to each child’s account to pay for their uniforms and any other expenses. They normally do only one fundraiser a year and had asked me to contact them again next April because they were so pleased with the ease of the fundraiser and the great profit for them. A few days after delivering the fundraiser I got a call from the coach letting me know that the parents were so happy with the Gold Canyon fundraiser that they want to do one this fall, too!”

Jill Young
Senior Manager

“Last year, our family did a fundraiser for my grandson, Conner Jennings. He was four years old and was diagnosed with a hole in his heart and a bad valve. He was born with Mosaic Down Syndrome. We did the fundraiser and raised over $1,000 to help with expenses and then we applied to the Prayer Child Foundation, also.
"The day after his surgery, they were removing the tubes and wires, when his heart went into defib. We stood in shock watching a team of doctors and nurses work on him for close to 45 minutes—we almost lost him that day. Later that day, we received a check for $750 from the Prayer Child Foundation—such a blessing at such a hard time. He had to have another surgery six weeks later, as the chest compressions performed during that awful time had separated the sutures and the bones had come apart and started [causing scar tissue to grow on his heart]. They had to redo the surgery after removing the scar tissue and use wires to reconnect the bones in his chest. He was very brave through it all, braver than we were, I must say.
"He is almost six years old now and doing great! Thanks to Gold Canyon, we had a helping hand when things were really tough.”
