Questions to ask the franchisor
Generated from what this brand's FDD data does not disclose — ask Fundraising University directly:
- What liquid capital does the franchisor require of a new franchisee? It is not disclosed in the FDD data we hold for this brand.
- What minimum net worth does the franchisor require? It is not disclosed in the FDD data we hold for this brand.
- What does the brand's recent unit history show over the last three years (Item 20)? Ask about openings. Ask about closures. Ask about transfers. We have not extracted a unit-history table for this brand.
- How exactly is the territory defined and protected (Item 12)? Ask for the territory map and the reserved-rights carve-outs in writing.
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the franchisor grants an exclusive territory: while your agreement runs, the franchisor may not place another franchisee — or operate a competing company unit — inside your territory's boundaries (subject to the carve-outs in the FDD). Areas inside an existing franchisee's territory are therefore not available to a new buyer.
The FDD's own words (Item 12): “this franchisor grants an exclusive territory as described in its FDD. We only offer franchises which operate under the “Fundraising University” Marks.

Projected openings (Item 20, Table 5)
Franchise agreements the FDD projects for the next fiscal year:

Why two unit counts? The Key figures above cite 51 franchised units (Item 20, p.41) — the franchisor's reported franchised-unit total. The map above sums Item 20, Table 3 (franchised outlets by state at fiscal year-end), which totals 47. The two Item 20 figures are compiled on different bases, so they need not match.
What is NOT available
Not available: any area inside an existing franchisee's exclusive territory while that agreement runs. Existing units sit in: CA, CO, FL, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NJ, OH, TN, TX, UT — a specific address near an existing unit is governed by that territory's boundaries.
Only the franchisor can confirm availability.
