Candle Fundraisers for Schools, Teams & Organizations
Looking for a fundraiser your supporters will actually be excited about? Not another tub of cookie dough or a catalog of stuff nobody wants — but hand-poured candles and home goods people genuinely want to buy?
That's what we do. 114 Howard Candle Co. has been running candle fundraisers for schools, sports teams, clubs, and organizations for over six years, right out of our shop in Waverly, NY.
Why fundraise with 114 Howard Candle Co.
- Products people actually want. Highly fragrant, long-lasting candles, wax melts, room sprays, and home goods. Your sellers won't have to talk anyone into it.
- Fast turnaround. Most fundraisers wrap up in 1.5 to 2 weeks from order form to delivery.
- Safer ingredients. Carcinogen, reproductive, and acute toxin free.
- Made in the USA. Hand-poured in small batches in our Waverly, NY shop to keep quality high.
- Prizes for your top sellers. Our top 3 sellers receive prizes from local businesses or cash — because motivated sellers raise more money.
- No minimum order. Big group or small, we'll run it.
Custom candles designed around your team
This is the part nobody else offers. We can hand-pipe and design a completely custom candle around your school, team, mascot, or cause — your colors, your theme, your event.
We've made baseball candles with hand-piped gloves and bats, carnival-themed candles with confetti and candy accents, and memorial candles for awareness causes. These become keepsakes your supporters hold onto long after the fundraiser ends — and they sell themselves.
What your group can sell
- Custom team candles — hand-piped and designed for your group
- Classic candles — clean-burning soy blend in our signature scents
- Wax melts — flame-free, long-lasting fragrance
- Room & linen sprays — a quick burst of fresh for any room
- Carpet deodorizing powder — knocks out pet and household odors at the source
- VacuScents vacuum scent pads — freshen every room while you vacuum
- Plant-based multi-purpose cleaner — works on counters, appliances, and more
How it works
- Reach out. Send us your school or organization name, roughly how many sellers you'll have, and when you'd like to start.
- We build your materials. You'll get a pamphlet and order forms ready for your sellers.
- Your group sells. Supporters pick their products and pay your sellers directly.
- We hand-pour everything. Every order is made fresh in small batches.
- Pick up and celebrate. We deliver, your group hands out orders, and you keep the profit.
Groups we've worked with
We've run fundraisers for PTAs, school sports teams, sororities, and community causes — including Kennsley's Carnival of Hope for kids who need it most, and Sigma Kappa's Fight For Alzheimer's benefiting the Alzheimer's Association.
Wholesale is available too
If you're looking for a wholesale partnership rather than a fundraiser, we can help with that as well. Just mention it when you reach out.
Ready to start?
Send us your school or organization name, approximate number of sellers, and your ideal start date — and we'll take it from there. Simple as that.
