What NZ schools and clubs say about us

We chose So Sweet for our fundraiser because it’s locally grown and an amazing product that our families already use, not something they have to buy just to support the fundraiser. Every year the vegetables are so fresh and last really well. I’ve been working with So Sweet for several years now, and it’s always a pleasure. Everything is well communicated, quick, and there have never been any issues with orders. Great product, great value, and great returns for our group.

We chose So Sweet because it’s a healthy option that aligns with our team values around making good choices. The profit margin is one of the best we’ve seen, which really helps support our marchers. We’ve run this fundraiser on and off for six years and have never had a single complaint about the vegetables. The So Sweet team is fantastic to work with, always prompt and easy to communicate with. As busy working parents, we really appreciate how flexible they are with timelines and how smooth the collection and drop-offs are. I still remember one year when we had two Phoenix teams fundraising. The boxes were lined up along the entrance of my business and the girls joked they were building a veggie box fort. It’s a fundraiser that always leaves everyone smiling.

Thank you for all your help organising the fundraiser. We’ve had great feedback and everyone has been really impressed with the quality of the produce.

Frequently asked questions about So Sweet fundraiser boxes

What makes a vegetable box a good fundraising idea for schools in NZ?

Parents already buy vegetables every week. A So Sweet fundraiser box replaces a supermarket run with something fresher, better value, and grown right here in New Zealand, so your community is buying something they genuinely want rather than supporting out of obligation.

How much profit can our group make?

Every group earns at least 30% profit on every box sold.

How does delivery work for So Sweet fundraiser boxes in NZ?

We deliver free to Turners and Growers and partner depots nationwide. Delivery outside of this network can be quoted depending on final box numbers. Once the boxes arrive, your team handles distribution to supporters.

How long does a So Sweet NZ fundraiser pre-sale run?

Campaign duration is flexible and tailored to your group. Most organisers run a two-week pre-sale, including two weekends, which gives enough time to reach your whole community before the order closes.

Is this a good fundraising idea for sports clubs and community groups?

Yes. We work regularly with sports clubs, marching teams, community organisations and charities. Several groups have run So Sweet fundraisers for five or six years in a row.

What vegetables are in the box?

Each box includes four fresh Southland-grown vegetables, a mix of organic and conventionally grown depending on what is most in season and at its best. Produce is sourced from our own certified organic farm, AsureQuality certified, alongside the best of the season’s harvest.

Do we need any experience to run a fundraiser?

No. We send a full organiser pack with ready-to-go promotional tools, a timeline and step-by-step guidance, plus personal support throughout.
