Every Jar Makes a Difference
The Jose Madrid Salsa fundraising program offers $5 to your group for every $10 jar sold.
What could that mean for your cause?
- 100 jars = $500
- 200 jars = $1,000
- 400 jars = $2,000

Examples show fundraising proceeds before group expenses. Results depend on actual sales.
1. Choose How Your Group Will Sell
Begin at the fundraising start page.
Online Fundraising
Supporters order for delivery to their home or office. At checkout, they select your group and enter their seller’s name.
The program currently lists $10 flat-rate shipping per online order. Check checkout for the final total. After the campaign, your group receives its fundraising check.
Order Forms and Bulk Delivery
Sellers collect orders using your selected 9-, 16- or 25-flavor kit, with a bulk delivery to your group.
Paper-form groups also receive an online ordering link. Keep direct-shipped online purchases separate from your bulk-order tally so you don’t order the same jars twice.
Review the fulfillment options.
Organizer tip: Choose one person to answer seller questions and one place to keep your campaign’s latest instructions.
2. Complete Both Parts of Signup
Visit the fundraiser signup page and complete both sections:
- Create your organizer account.
- Submit your fundraiser details.
The second section gets your group added to checkout. Account activation follows team review, so watch for your approval email.
During setup:
- Choose your flavor package and selling format.
- Select your campaign colors.
- Add your logo or cover photo.
- Write your mission and group description.
- Personalize your page and invite your team through the portal.
Make your mission specific: “Help our team cover tournament travel” tells supporters more than “Please support our fundraiser.” Include a clear deadline and a goal your sellers can explain.

3. Download Your Fundraiser Kit
For paper sales, download the kit that matches your registered package:
- Download the 25-Flavor Fundraiser Kit — ZIP
- Download the 16-Flavor Fundraiser Kit — ZIP
- Download the 9-Flavor Fundraiser Kit — ZIP
Unzip your kit and open the files before distributing them. Use its launch instructions, flavor menu, tracking materials and order workbook to keep everyone working from the same information.
Download Your Flyers
Before sharing: The sample flyer contains an example group, seller, deadline and $4-per-jar amount. Replace those details and update the amount to the current $5-per-jar program amount. Complete the blank template with your campaign information, too.
4. Give Every Seller a Simple Launch Plan

AI-generated scene; not an actual customer event.
A short team kickoff can prevent last-minute confusion. Give every seller:
- Your cause and campaign goal.
- The order deadline.
- Their ordering link or correct paper forms.
- The name supporters should enter for seller credit.
- A caption they can personalize.
- A contact for questions.
- Instructions for turning in forms and payments.
Start small: Invite each seller to make five personal asks. A thoughtful message to someone who knows your cause is a useful place to begin.
5. Turn Social Shares Into Support
Lead with your cause. Explain the impact. Include the deadline and one clear way to order.
Copy-and-Paste Launch Caption
Big flavor. Bigger impact. 🌶️ We’re raising money for [CAUSE] with Jose Madrid Salsa! Every $10 jar sends $5 to [GROUP]. Order by [DATE]: [YOUR GROUP LINK]. Choose [GROUP] at checkout and enter [SELLER NAME]. Thanks for helping us reach [GOAL]!
Replace every bracketed field before posting.
- Facebook: Include your clickable ordering link in the post.
- Instagram: Put the ordering link in your bio or a Story link sticker, and tell people where to find it.
- Team messages: Give sellers the same approved campaign details so every post points supporters in the right direction.
Keep Your Campaign Visible
- Launch: Introduce your cause and goal.
- Spotlight: Share a flavor or fundraiser graphic.
- Update: Celebrate actual progress.
- Remind: Share the deadline before orders close.
Pair each post with a graphic from this guide. Add descriptive alt text and get permission before featuring people in campaign photos.
6. Finish With Accurate Totals
For community bulk orders, collect every seller’s tracking sheet and payment before submitting.

Your Final Checklist
- Every seller’s paperwork is in.
- Flavor totals and jar counts are correct.
- Order totals match the money collected.
- Your shipping address is confirmed.
- Your order is completely final.
Then submit your final order. Jose Madrid Salsa fills exactly what you enter.
The submission page lists $5 per jar due to Jose Madrid Salsa, with shipping added for online card payment, and card or check payment options.
Orders ship within 10 days after payment. That is a shipping window, not a guaranteed arrival date. Coordinate delivery details before announcing a pickup date.
Running an online-only campaign? Monitor sales through your dashboard and coordinate the closeout with the fundraising team. Direct-shipped online orders do not belong in your paper-order submission.
Thank Your Supporters—and Show the Impact
When your campaign ends, share your actual result and explain what those purchases helped make possible.
A simple thank-you can close the loop:
You helped us sell [TOTAL] jars and raise [AMOUNT] for [CAUSE]! Thank you for every order, share and encouraging message. Your support is helping us [SPECIFIC OUTCOME].
