Frequently Asked Questions

The Association of Fund-Raising Distributors and Suppliers is an international association of more than 600 companies that provide products and services to non-profit organizations to assist in fundraisers. AFRDS and its members are dedicated to promoting professionalism and integrity in product fundraisers. The group established the industry's first and only Code of Ethics and Standards for Professional Practice in product fundraisers. Maredy is an AFRDS member in good standing.

A catalog fundraiser is a fundraiser in which students use a catalog or brochure for taking orders. Orders are processed and then items are returned to the student for delivery at a later date.

We recommend a one to two week sale.
