Choose the Structure That Fits Your Goals
You can select the option that best supports your needs.
Choose a direct cash payout, or receive a higher return in store credit if your school or organization is planning to invest in equipment, sensory tools, or inclusive learning supports.
The store credit option can be especially valuable for building or enhancing sensory rooms, regulation stations, therapy spaces, or classroom supports.
You choose the structure that works best for you:
Cash Option
$0–$999 in sales → 12.5%
$1,000–$1,999 in sales → 15%
$2,000+ in sales → 18%
Store Credit Option
$0–$999 in sales → 17.5%
$1,000–$1,999 in sales → 20%
$2,000+ in sales → 23%
A Fundraiser That Gives Back Twice
When your community shops through your campaign, your organization earns up to 23% back on eligible purchases.
At the same time, Ability Hive donates 2% of every sale to initiatives and organizations serving disability communities.
That means your fundraiser creates impact beyond your own goals — supporting families across Canada.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can we run a fundraiser?
We are currently offering fundraising campaigns during our Spring window (mid-March to mid-May).
We recommend campaigns run for no longer than 4 weeks (1 month) within this period to help build momentum while keeping participation manageable.
Focusing on a structured Spring season allows us to provide dedicated support and ensure a smooth, successful experience for every participating organization.
How are sales tracked?
Each fundraising campaign is assigned a unique tracking link connected to your organization.
When supporters click the “Shop & Support” button on your campaign page, the fundraiser is automatically applied to their cart — no code entry required.
All eligible purchases made through that link during your campaign window are tracked automatically, and you will receive a complete summary report at the end of your fundraiser.
Do supporters receive a discount?
No. The fundraiser code tracks sales so your organization earns a percentage back.
Can we choose between cash and store credit?
Yes. You may select either:
- Cash payout (up to 18%)
- Store credit payout (up to 23%)
Store credit is ideal for schools or organizations planning to invest in sensory rooms, classroom supports, or equipment.
Are all purchases eligible toward fundraising totals?
Fundraising totals are based on standard retail purchases made during your campaign period using your unique fundraiser code.
Institutional bulk quotes, some special order items (Jonti-Craft and Optikinetics products specifically), or purchases made outside the campaign period may not qualify.
Do organizers handle any products?
No. Orders ship directly to supporters. There is no product sorting, storage, or delivery coordination required.
What happens if a supporter needs to return an item?
Fundraiser orders follow Ability Hive’s return guidelines. In some cases, returns associated with fundraiser purchases may be issued as store credit rather than a refund to the original payment method, particularly if fundraising payouts have already been processed.
This helps maintain the integrity of the fundraising program.
When do we receive funds?
Final sales totals are calculated within 7–14 business days after your campaign ends. Cash payouts are issued once totals are confirmed, along with a complete summary report.
Is there a minimum or maximum amount we can raise?
There is no minimum sales requirement. For unusually large institutional purchases, eligibility toward fundraiser totals may be reviewed.
Where can we view full fundraising terms?
Full fundraising program terms and conditions are available here.
