Fundraising

Fundraising is the bulk of financial support for our NJROTC Program. Each year our US Navy funding decreases so fundraising is necessary to help cover our program expenses above and beyond uniforms. When we hold a fundraiser, cadets will earn 80% of the donations received into their cadet accounts, and 20% goes to the CPO general fund to help support the program. Each cadet has a target of fundraising $250 in addition to their cadet dues. Fundraising is vital to our program’s success and is necessary for it to continue to function.

How much do we earn from fundraising?

When we hold a fundraiser, cadets will earn 80% of the net donations received into their cadet accounts, and 20% goes to the CPO general fund to help support the program. Cadet Account funds can be applied towards dues, extracurricular LPK NJROTC affiliated Team competitions and LPK NJROTC Unit events.

Our annual fundraising varies but recently we have raised enough to mostly cover our expenses without being able save for future events - if every cadet could fundraise $500-750 during the year, that would be an amazing opportunity to plan for the current year and possibly the next.
