Abstract: A fund raising method is provided whereby an independent contractor contacts, or is contacted by, a fund raising customer. The independent contractor thereafter provides initial information to the customer. The fund raising company provides an informational pamphlet to the customer that includes sample products, catalogs and a complete description of the program. The customer distributes the information to others who buy products from the program. The orders are tallied and entered into the central computer and processed by the fund raising company. The fund raising company then issues a credit towards end products for a substantial portion of the entire amount, if not the entire amount, of the order. The fund raising company tracks the performance of the independent contractors. The customer may then order end products from the company. These orders are also processed through the fund raising company and end products are delivered to the customer.
