Nadine

Mom from Calgary,

Our daycare tried Growing Smiles for the first time. It was an easy fundraiser to set up with great customer support all the way! With so many fundraising initiatives we take on throughout the year, this is by far the easiest with the least time commitment.

Owen

Dad from Portland,

I organized our camp fundraiser. The pricing was excellent, and the suggested markup made it easy for us to reach our fundraising goals. Making it our most successful fundraiser yet!

Lin

Aunt from Vancouver,

Our school team and PAC simply LOVE Growing Smiles! It's so easy to setup and our customers appreciate the simplicity of ordering. We fundraise with them every year!

us parents deserve better!

Look, I love my kids and supporting their adventures. Which is why I’ve said yes to my fair share of fundraisers. But between work emails, soccer practice, and trying to get dinner on the table, I can’t spend time chasing orders that hardly pay off.

As a parent, I care about ensuring fundraisers feel worth it to parents. That’s why our fundraiser delights. Respecting your time and supporting you start-to-finish. Growing Smiles has helped more than 20,000 parent volunteers in getting their weekends back. Rooted in 90 years of family tradition, we sow only the best naturally-grown plants, so you can feel good about fundraising.

Get your weekends back with Growing Smiles.

mom behind Growing Smiles

What profit can I expect?

With our suggested pricing, your group can earn a 20–25% profit margin, making it a fun and rewarding way to raise funds. Our seasonal favorites like holiday wreaths, poinsettias, hanging baskets, and spring flowers are always in high demand. There’s truly something for everyone. Families love how easy they are to share and sell. You’re welcome to set your own prices to help reach your fundraising goals in a way that works best for your community.

How is the delivery scheduled?

When you sign up, you’ll get to choose a delivery date that works best for your group from our calendar of available days. Our team does their best to deliver right on that day, so everything arrives fresh and on time. Dates do fill up quickly, so we recommend registering early to lock in your preferred spot.

Most of our fundraisers qualify for FREE delivery thanks to their plant order size, and your group likely will too. Free delivery thresholds vary by location, and we’ll share all those details with you. Just visit our registration form to request more info, and we’ll send you a helpful package with everything you need to know.

How do I plan a successful fundraiser?

The heart of a successful fundraiser starts with a clear goal—and sharing it with your community. We make it easy to get started with a simple platform that fits into busy family life. Plus, we’ll guide you every step of the way with helpful coaching resources from our top teams! Ready to see how smooth and rewarding fundraising can be?

Is there a minimum order or multiples?

Yes, because this helps to keep the program affordable and accessible for all kinds of groups. From schools to local sports to small-town organizations, teams easily reach our $500 minimum, and we’re happy to help you get there.

Setting small selling goals for each participant can make a big difference and helps everyone feel part of something special. With a little planning, your group can reach your goal and enjoy a successful fundraiser.

Your community earns profits by selling beautiful plants, and a portion of every sale goes directly toward supporting your cause. Just like how Costco offers bulk savings, our poinsettias are bundled in sets of 6 for delivery—this enables us to maximize your profit margin on poinsettias. The rest of our products can be ordered in any quantity, so families can choose what works best for them. It’s a simple, flexible way to raise money while spreading a little holiday joy!

Are there any fees involved?

Signing up for our fundraiser is completely free! No upfront costs, no pressure. We understand that every group is different, so there’s no commitment to follow through if plans change. We're here to support you and will work together to find a solution that fits your group’s needs and schedule.
