Pecan Fundraiser | School, Church & Group Fundraising
Raise money for your school, church, team, troop, club, or organization with a fundraiser built around something people actually want to buy: delicious Texas pecans and pecan treats.
Millican Pecan has been growing and processing pecans in San Saba, Texas since 1888. Our pecan fundraisers give organizations an opportunity to offer quality products to family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and supporters while raising money for their cause.
1. Why Choose a Pecan Fundraiser?
Traditional fundraisers often ask families and supporters to purchase products they may not really want or need. A pecan fundraiser offers something different: quality food that people can enjoy themselves, share with family, give as a gift, or use for holiday baking.
A Product People Want
Pecans are useful for snacking, baking, holiday cooking, gifting, and entertaining, making them easy to explain and sell.
Texas-Grown Quality
Your supporters can purchase pecans grown and processed by a fifth-generation Texas pecan family.
Easy to Share
Participants can offer products to family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and other members of their community.
The result is a fundraiser that can feel less like asking people to buy something they don't need and more like giving them an opportunity to purchase a product they already enjoy.
2. Who Can Participate?
Millican Pecan fundraisers are suitable for many different types of organizations and groups.
Schools & Student Groups

If your organization is looking for a fundraising opportunity, contact us and we'll be happy to discuss your needs.
3. Fundraiser Options
We offer two primary approaches to pecan fundraising, allowing your organization to choose the type of products that best fits your supporters.
Fresh Pecan Fundraiser
Offer fresh pecan products such as pecan halves and pecan pieces. These are especially appealing to customers who bake, cook, snack on pecans, or stock up for the holiday season.
Fresh pecans can be a particularly attractive fundraiser during the fall and holiday baking season.
Candy Pecan Fundraiser
For groups looking for something sweeter, our candy pecan fundraiser features popular pecan treats made with Texas-grown pecans.
Fundraising materials can help participants present the available products to family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

5. Why Pecans Make a Great Fundraiser
One of the biggest challenges with fundraising is finding a product that supporters are willing to purchase. Pecans have several natural advantages as a fundraising product.
- They're familiar. Most people already know and enjoy pecans.
- They're useful. Customers can snack on them, bake with them, cook with them, or give them as gifts.
- They work especially well for the holidays. Pecans are a popular ingredient for holiday baking and entertaining.
- They offer variety. Customers can choose from fresh pecans, pecan pieces, and specialty pecan treats.
- They're easy to explain. Participants don't need a complicated sales pitch to explain what they're selling.
The best fundraiser is one people enjoy supporting. Offering quality pecans gives your participants a product they can feel good about sharing with people they know.
6. When Should You Run Your Fundraiser?
Fall can be an especially good time for a pecan fundraiser because customers are beginning to think about holiday baking, entertaining, and gift giving.
If you're planning a fundraiser around the holidays, we recommend getting started well in advance. Our fundraising materials and fulfillment process require time to coordinate, and your organization will also need time to distribute materials, collect orders, and organize payment.
