• Fundraisers

    • Fundraisers A fundraiser is an event that includes any activity during which currency, tokens, tickets, donation for, or other forms of payment are exchanged for the sale or purchase of a product. This includes payment that is made towards a future purchase. There is no limit on fundraisers that meet the Competitive Food and Beverage Nutrition Standards. Any food and/or beverage item that meets the standards may be sold on the school campus during the school day. CEs should define what types of food and/or beverages are allowed to be sold on campus in their local wellness policy.

     

    • Exempt Fundraisers Texas public, charter, and private schools that participate in NSLP or SBP may sell food and/or beverages as part of a fundraiser that does not meet the Competitive Foods Nutritional Standards during the school day for up to six (6) days per school year on each school campus. Food and/or beverages sold during an exempt fundraiser must not be sold in competition with school meals service or consumed in the school meal service area.

     

    • CEs should include information on exempt fundraisers in their local wellness policies to ensure that students, parents, and staff understand when fundraising exemptions apply.
