We are thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership with Treats Island, a Riverside, California-based candy company known for their irresistible freeze-dried treats, chamoy creations, and gummy favorites. Starting today, their products are available for every product-based fundraiser on Fund My Squad.
If you have ever run a fundraiser, you know the challenge: finding products that people actually want to buy. With Treats Island, that problem is solved. Their colorful, eye-catching candy practically sells itself — and supporters love getting something delicious in return for their contribution.
What Is a Product-Based Fundraiser?
A product-based fundraiser lets you raise money by selling real products instead of (or alongside) accepting donations. Supporters buy items they want, and a portion of every sale goes directly to your cause. It is one of the most effective ways to fundraise because people feel like they are getting something in return.
With Fund My Squad, you can combine product sales with donations in a single campaign — giving your supporters multiple ways to contribute.
Meet Treats Island
Treats Island specializes in freeze-dried candy and chamoy-coated treats that are unlike anything you will find at a regular store. Their products come in generous 12 oz containers, packed with flavor and color. Here is a taste of what is available:
Freeze Dried Skittles
Chubby Gummy Bears
Chamoy Peach Rings
Sour Watermelon Slices
Chamoy Gushers
Who Can Use Product-Based Fundraising?
Almost any group or organization can benefit from selling products to raise money. Here are some of the most popular use cases:
- Youth Sports Teams — Selling candy is a proven way to fund travel tournaments, new equipment, and league fees. Kids love being part of the sales effort, and parents love that the products are easy to share at games and practices.
- Schools and PTAs — Replace the old-fashioned bake sale with a professional product fundraiser. Sell Treats Island candy online to parents, grandparents, and alumni — no need to collect cash or make change.
- Churches and Faith Groups — Fund mission trips, youth retreats, and community outreach programs. Product sales give congregation members a fun, tangible way to support the cause.
- Nonprofits — Add product sales alongside your donation campaigns. Supporters who might not donate directly are often happy to buy a treat — and you still earn revenue for your mission.
- Greek Organizations — Fraternities and sororities can sell products to fund philanthropy events, chapter operations, and community service projects.
- Community Groups and Clubs — From Boy Scout troops to robotics clubs, any group with a goal can launch a product fundraiser in minutes.
