Let’s Be Honest: Most Fundraisers Are a Grind
Overpriced chocolates nobody really wants. Sausage sizzles that require a small army of volunteers and a set of tongs. Entertainment books that somehow still exist in 2026. Raffle tickets that take three months to sell and return about $8 per family.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the problem with traditional fundraising: the product is rarely the point. People buy out of obligation, not desire. The margin is thin, the admin is heavy, and the kids who are supposed to be the point of the whole exercise spend more time chasing parents for cash than actually learning anything from the experience.
Bitesize ‘FUN’raising is built on a completely different idea.
What if the product was so genuinely good that people bought it because they wanted to not because they felt they had to?
That’s not marketing copy. It’s the reason 250+ Australian schools and clubs have sold out every single box they’ve ever ordered. Every one of them.
What Is Bitesize ‘FUN’raising?
Bitesize ‘FUN’raising is a fully supported, community fundraising program built around one of Australia’s most decorated food products: Bitesize Group’s gourmet, award-winning biscuits.
With over 220 Royal Fine Food Awards including a Gold Medal at the 2026 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards these biscuits have been independently judged by Australia’s leading food experts and declared world-class. They’ve been delighting café customers, hotel guests and corporate clients since 2006. Now they power one of the country’s most profitable community fundraisers.
The numbers are simple:
| Box cost | $42 + GST |
| Sell price | $75 (15 packs × $5) |
| Profit per box | $28.80 |
| Boxes to raise $1,000 | ~35 boxes |
| Boxes to raise $5,000 | ~175 boxes |
And unlike almost every other fundraiser in Australia, Bitesize has a 100% sell-out rate across all 250+ schools and clubs who have run the program. That’s not a typo.
What’s Inside the Bitesize ‘FUN’raising Box?
Each Fundraising Box contains 15 individually wrapped packs across 3 award-winning flavours preservative-free, made from 90% Australian and New Zealand ingredients, and packaged in completely compostable packaging.
At $5 per pack, they’re an easy, impulse-friendly price point. Parents, grandparents, neighbours, workmates everyone in the orbit of a school or club community becomes a potential buyer. And because the biscuits are genuinely delicious (Gold Medal-winning, remember), repeat buyers are common. Families don’t just buy to support the cause. They come back for more.
The box is also a confidence-builder for kids. Rather than standing awkwardly at a door with a form and a nervous smile, children hand over a free sample, let the biscuit do the talking, and collect the order. It’s a completely different kind of selling.
How It Works: Three Simple Steps
Step 1 Choose Your Program
There are two options, and the Bitesize team helps you choose the right one for your community:
The Accelerator Program (Most popular recommended for maximum results) The Quick Start Program (Simple, fast, minimal setup)
We’ll cover both in detail below.
Step 2 Samples Go Home
Free samples of each award-winning flavour are sent home with every family before a single order is placed. This is the secret weapon of the Bitesize program. The engagement rates are extraordinary because families taste first and commit second. By the time the boxes arrive, demand is already built.
Step 3 Sell Out and Bank the Profit
Kids sell $5 packs to family and friends over 3–4 weeks. The Bitesize team supports you through every step until every box is sold. Then you count the profit.
The Two Programs: Which One Is Right for You?
🚀 The Accelerator Program Maximum Profit, Full Support
The Accelerator is the flagship Bitesize FUNraising program and the most profitable food fundraiser in Australia. Here’s everything that’s included:
What you get:
- ✅ 3 FREE samples per family (one of each flavour), stapled to a personalised intro letter
- ✅ Intro letter customised for your school using a proven opt-OUT model which means maximum participation from the start
- ✅ A safety net provision of 15–25%, strategically supplying fewer boxes than families to guarantee sell-out
- ✅ FREE hampers given away to incentivise parents
- ✅ Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the 3 highest-selling kids
- ✅ Gift cards of your choice (up to $100) for the 3 top sellers
- ✅ 6 weeks trading terms no pressure, no rush
- ✅ Full sell-out support the Bitesize team stays with you until every box is gone, even connecting with local cafés and clubs if needed
- ✅ SuperTee certificate printed, laminated and posted to the school
The opt-OUT model deserves special mention: rather than asking families to opt IN and losing a portion of your community before the fundraiser even starts, the Accelerator sends boxes home with participating families and provides a simple opt-out for those who don’t wish to participate. The difference in engagement and therefore in profit — is significant.
⚡ The Quick Start Program Simple, Fast, Lean
The Quick Start is designed for communities that want to get moving immediately with minimal setup:
What you get:
- ✅ 1 FREE sample per family, stapled to the intro letter
- ✅ Non-customised template letter provided (opt-IN / prepaid version)
- ✅ 3 weeks trading terms
- ✅ SuperTee certificate printed, laminated and posted
- ✅ Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the 3 highest-selling kids
- ❌ No free hampers
- ❌ No gift cards
- ❌ No active sell-out support
Quick Start is ideal if you have a tight timeline, a smaller community, or you simply want to test the water before committing to the full Accelerator model.

More Than Fundraising: The Bitesize Kids Appeal
Here’s what makes Bitesize ‘FUN’raising genuinely different from every other food fundraiser out there.
A percentage of the proceeds from every single box sold goes to the Bitesize Kids Appeal a Bitesize Group initiative dedicated to helping Australian children and families in need.
The Kids Appeal supports two remarkable charity partners:
SuperTee Medical garments disguised as superhero costumes for children in hospitals across Australia. SuperTee was born when a father named Jason sat by his daughter’s bedside during her cancer treatment and noticed how distressing the hospital gowns were when she needed to be connected to IV drips and monitors. His solution a medical garment designed to look like a superhero costume has since given thousands of sick kids a daily boost of confidence and joy.
Heartbeat of Football Foundation Fighting cardiovascular disease through awareness, prevention and support across sporting communities all over Australia.
So when your school or club runs a Bitesize fundraiser, you’re not just raising money for yourselves. You’re also helping sick kids in hospitals feel like superheroes, and supporting heart health awareness in Australian sport. Your community raises funds AND helps other Australian children at no additional cost.
In total, the Bitesize FUNraising program has helped 2,300+ sick kids since the Kids Appeal launched.
Why Bitesize Sells When Nothing Else Does: The Secret Is the Samples
The single most powerful element of the Bitesize FUNraising program is one that most fundraisers never think about: free samples before the ask.
Before a single box goes home, every participating family receives free samples of the award-winning flavours one of each. By the time the introductory letter arrives, Mum has already eaten the Cinnamon Bite and Dad has polished off the Salted Caramel. They know exactly what they’re selling. And they know it’s good.
This is why engagement rates are extraordinary. This is why every one of the 250+ schools and clubs has sold out every time. The product does the selling. The kids just do the delivering.
Fundraising That Builds More Than a Bank Balance
There’s something else worth saying about what a Bitesize fundraiser does for children beyond the profit.
When kids participate in the Bitesize FUNraising program, they’re doing something that screens and apps can’t teach them: they’re communicating face-to-face with adults, developing confidence through real-world interactions, and experiencing the satisfaction of working toward a tangible goal as a team.
They learn what effort looks like. They experience the pride that comes from contributing to their community. They discover that they’re capable of more than they thought. That’s not a side effect of the fundraiser at Bitesize, it’s considered part of the program.
