Nationwide
There is no state you have to be in and no territory to check. Orders ship direct to the buyer anywhere in the United States, so a group in Fresno runs the same fundraiser as a group in Nashville. Below is what groups in your state tend to raise for.
Why it travels
Most fundraisers are tied to a place, because someone has to move product through it. This one is a set of links.
Every order goes from LiveGood straight to the customer's door in any state. Nobody on your committee receives, sorts or delivers anything.
There is no table to staff, no sidewalk to stand on and no local rule to check. Supporters use a link, wherever they live.
An alum in another state can buy through your group's link and it still counts. That is usually the part groups underuse.
Your 10% keeps arriving from a customer in any state for as long as they keep ordering.

Grouped by region, roughly west to east. Every state is here, and the program is identical in all of them: this is about what groups near you tend to be raising for.
Friday-night football is the center of a lot of Alabama towns, and the booster clubs behind it are always raising for equipment and travel. A drive that keeps paying after the season ends is a different proposition.
Alaska teams fly to away games, and travel is the budget line that never shrinks. A fundraiser with no inventory to ship and no boxes to store is a practical fit for a district spread across a lot of miles.
Arizona has big, fast-growing districts where a new school can open with a booster club and almost no budget. Marching band, robotics and club sports all start from zero, and recurring income compounds faster than a one-off drive.
Small-town Arkansas schools and churches tend to run the same two or three fundraisers every year to the same families. A program built on things households already buy monthly asks less of the same people.
California schools have some of the strongest drama, choir and arts programs in the country, and they are usually the first line squeezed. A theater department raising for sets, scripts and festival travel can fund it from orders parents were already placing.
Colorado ski clubs, mountain-bike teams and outdoor programs carry real equipment and transport costs. Health products are an easy sell to a community that already buys them.
Connecticut PTOs and travel-sports clubs run tight, well-organized campaigns and usually want something that does not involve collecting cash at a folding table. Everything here happens through a link.
Delaware is small enough that a single strong drive reaches a lot of a school's community quickly. The recurring share is what makes that reach worth more than one season.
DC charter and public school groups often fundraise for enrichment and college-visit travel. A program with no permits, no door-to-door and no inventory suits a dense city where none of those are easy.
Florida has year-round sports, big band programs and a lot of retirees who buy supplements already. That combination makes a health-products drive land differently than another coupon book.
Georgia churches and youth ministries raise for mission trips and camp scholarships on a schedule that repeats every year. Income that continues after the trip is funded changes next year's math.
Shipping and travel dominate every Hawaii team budget, and off-island tournaments are expensive. Nobody in your group has to store or ship anything here, because every order goes direct to the buyer.
Idaho booster clubs and 4-H groups tend to be volunteer-run with no spare hours. Setup takes about ten minutes and there is nothing to hand out afterward.
Illinois marching bands and show choirs travel, compete and replace instruments constantly. A drive that keeps producing between competition seasons is worth more than a single push.
Basketball is close to a civic institution in Indiana, and the programs around it raise year after year. Selling something families reorder means the same supporter list keeps working.
Iowa has serious marching band and FFA traditions, and both raise for travel and equipment. A fundraiser that does not compete with the county fair for volunteer hours is a genuine advantage.
Kansas rural districts often consolidate activities across long distances, which means buses. Travel costs recur, so an income stream that also recurs is the closer match.
Kentucky church groups and school boosters raise for camps, uniforms and tournament travel. There is no inventory to move and no minimum to hit, which matters for a smaller congregation.
Louisiana marching bands are a cultural institution with real instrument and travel budgets. Parade season does not pay for itself, and a recurring drive does not stop when parade season does.
Maine schools cover a lot of ground with small enrollments, so per-family fundraising asks add up fast. Products people were buying anyway spread the load differently.
Maryland rowing, lacrosse and swim clubs carry equipment and facility costs that do not pause. A recurring share is the part that helps with a bill that arrives every month.
Massachusetts youth hockey and travel-sports families already fundraise hard for ice time and tournaments. This one asks them to switch a purchase rather than write another check.
Michigan hockey and robotics programs both run on equipment budgets. FIRST teams in particular raise every single season, and recurring income is the thing that makes next season easier.
Minnesota hockey associations are large, organized and expensive to run. A drive with no inventory and no minimum works for an association with hundreds of families and no warehouse.
Mississippi schools and churches often fundraise for the basics rather than the extras. A program that is free to start and has no minimum order removes the risk of trying it.
Missouri booster clubs and scout troops run repeat campaigns to the same neighborhoods. Supporters who reorder monthly mean the group is not starting from scratch each year.
Montana teams travel enormous distances for conference games, and fuel is the budget. Nothing here needs to be trucked to you, and the earnings continue between seasons.
Nebraska school and 4-H groups fundraise in tight-knit communities where the same families get asked repeatedly. Selling a household staple is an easier second and third ask.
Nevada districts grow quickly and new booster clubs start with nothing. Ten minutes of setup and no upfront cost is about the right barrier for a club in its first year.
New Hampshire schools lean on volunteer-run booster groups with limited hours. There are no order forms to collate and no product to deliver.
New Jersey has dense, competitive travel-sports and marching-arts scenes with matching budgets. A recurring 10% is what separates funding one season from funding a program.
New Mexico rural districts cover long distances with small budgets, and activity travel is the pinch point. A fundraiser with no inventory logistics fits a district without spare staff.
New York ranges from big-city charter groups to small upstate districts, and both raise for enrichment and travel. Everything runs through a link, so neither needs a storefront or a permit.
North Carolina church youth groups and school boosters raise for mission trips, camps and uniforms. Income that keeps arriving after the campaign is what funds the following year.
North Dakota schools consolidate activities across counties, which means buses and long trips. Recurring income suits a recurring expense.
Ohio has deep marching band and youth football traditions and a lot of booster clubs competing for the same donors. Switching a monthly purchase is a different ask than another raffle.
Oklahoma FFA chapters, rodeo clubs and band programs all raise for travel and equipment. A drive with no product to store fits groups whose volunteers are already stretched.
Oregon communities buy health products readily, which makes the sell easier before it starts. School and club groups keep earning as those customers reorder.
Pennsylvania marching bands, youth wrestling and Catholic school groups fundraise on annual cycles. The recurring share is what makes one good year fund several.
Rhode Island's size means a single school's community overlaps heavily, so repeat asks wear out fast. Something families reorder anyway holds up better.
South Carolina booster clubs and church groups raise for travel, camps and uniforms every year. Free to start and no minimum means a small group can test it without risk.
South Dakota activity travel covers real distance on small budgets. There is no inventory to move and no cash to collect, which suits a volunteer treasurer.
Tennessee is home base: GoodFundraising.org is run from Goodlettsville, so Misty can meet a Middle Tennessee group in person if that helps. Everything works identically anywhere else.
Texas high school football, marching band and drill team budgets are on a scale of their own, and so is the fundraising calendar. Recurring income is what stops the calendar resetting to zero.
Utah has large families and large youth programs, and health products already sell well there. More households per supporter list means the reorder share compounds faster.
Vermont schools are small and community-funded, so the same families are asked often. A product people already buy monthly is a gentler repeat ask.
Virginia crew, band and travel-soccer programs carry equipment and tournament costs. A share that recurs is a better match for a cost that recurs.
Washington communities buy supplements and greens readily, so the product is not a hard sell. School and club groups earn on the first order and every reorder after it.
West Virginia schools and churches fundraise in communities where budgets are tight and volunteers are few. Nothing to buy upfront, nothing to store, nothing to deliver.
Wisconsin FFA chapters, youth hockey and school music programs all run repeat campaigns. Supporters who reorder mean the chapter is not rebuilding its list every autumn.
Wyoming has the longest drives and the smallest schools, and activity travel dominates. An income stream that continues between seasons is worth more than a single event.
These are illustrations of the kinds of groups that fundraise in each state, not claims about any particular school, district or budget. The program, the rates and the signup are the same everywhere in the US.
