Charlevoix roots.
Built for short campaigns.

Our roots

From The Taffy Barrel to your next fundraiser

The Taffy Barrel is a beloved local retail old-fashioned candy store serving Charlevoix, Michigan. Next year marks The Taffy Barrel's 20th season. Campaigns offer 80+ flavors — the same kind of candy people know from The Taffy Barrel in Charlevoix, sold through a short online fundraiser instead of a clipboard.

We built PopupTaffy for coaches, PTA parents, and group organizers who need a fundraiser that fits between practices and bedtime. Not a month of clipboards. Not a garage full of boxes. Just a short campaign, a personal store link for every seller, and taffy that ships straight to the people who ordered it.

Real take-home money for your team. Zero leftover inventory at your house.

How it works

How a PopupTaffy fundraiser works

1

Set up in about ten minutes

Pick a 4- or 7-day window, set a take-home goal, and get a code for your team. No meeting required.

2

Sellers share their own store

Every seller gets a personal link. They text it, post it, or drop it in a group chat. Supporters pick flavors, choose a pack (from $15), and pay online. Flat-rate shipping ($7.95) is paid by the buyer at checkout.

3

Orders ship. You keep 50% of taffy sales.

Every order ships to the buyer. Your payout hits your account within seven days after the fundraiser closes.

No inventory. No order forms. No leftover boxes.

Who it's for

Built for teams, schools, and groups

Youth sports

Uniforms, travel, tournament fees — raise real take-home money between practices and bedtime.

Schools & PTA

Class trips, playground gear, classroom extras. Short campaigns that fit the school calendar.

Clubs & bands

Scout troops, bands, community groups. Everyone gets a shareable store link.

Kids as sellers: Yes — with a parent, guardian, or the adult organizer. Public pages show a display name and sales totals only, never a child's contact information.

The split

What you keep (and what you do not split)

  • Your organization keeps 50% of the taffy subtotal.
  • Shipping is buyer-paid ($7.95 flat) — never part of your split.
  • Packs start at $15.
  • Goals on the dashboard are take-home dollars, not gross checkout totals.
  • Payout within seven days after the fundraiser closes.
  • No mystery fees.

Why short

Why we keep campaigns short

Choose a 4- or 7-day window. Orders ship straight to buyers. No leftover inventory at your house. Short campaigns create urgency — sellers share once, supporters order while it's top of mind, and you're done in days instead of weeks.

Ready when you are
