How It Works

How much money can our program keep?

No deposit, no minimums and no risk. You can earn up to 80% profit or more, and you will never write us a check. Here's the math.

Step 1
The first $700 raised covers your workshops

It pays for your students' two 2-hour improv workshops. No deposit and nothing out of your budget.

Step 2
Then we split proceeds 70/30

Your program keeps 70%, until our max fee amount is reached.

Step 3
You keep 100% from there

Once the max fee is reached, every dollar is yours. That's up to 80% profit, or more.

🎉 Current Special
Back to School Special

Book a date with us now for the '26 Fall Semester (Sept–Dec) and receive a $1,400 reduction off our Max Fee Amount (when we stop collecting 30% and you start keeping 100%). That's up to $1,400+ more for your theatre program!

"School vs. School vs. Pros" battle shows are also reduced by $1,400 for the Spring Semester (plus each school raises more by splitting the fee).

Why ZingerZ

The only fundraiser designed for theatre arts

Your students sell a fun experience instead of stuff they don't care about, so they're excited and motivated, because the effort ties straight to their passion to perform.

No risk, guaranteed

No deposit, no minimums. Our fee comes from event proceeds only, so you never write us a check.

Students in the show

Your students perform alongside professional actors. A big confidence booster.

Real enrichment

Improv workshops and coaching give students lessons they'll use now and later.

Turn-key support

A step-by-step system with tons of support, so your booster club can share the load.

Who You're Hiring

Professional improv actors, on stage with your students.

We're the fundraising side of ZingerZ Comedy Club, home of the Clean Improv Comedy Show in the DFW area. The pros your students perform with are the same cast that works our stage every week.

Before the show, your students get two improv workshops, our improv workbooks and sales coaching. On the night, we host, run the auctions and handle the show. Call (817) 609-1715 and a person picks up.

What we put in writing

There's no fine print worth hiding, so here are the terms and the costs, up front.

No deposit, no minimums, no risk. Our fee comes from event proceeds only. You will never write us a check.
The fee is capped. The first $700 raised covers your students' workshops, then we split proceeds 70/30 (you keep 70%) until our max fee is reached. After that you keep 100%.
Keep your cash & checks. Our fee comes from card proceeds, so cash and check payments are yours to use right away.
Card processing is 5% + $0.75 per ticket. Pass it to buyers or absorb it. Your call.
Add-ons sit outside the split. Travel and student incentives, when they apply, aren't part of the proceeds split.
Raffles are only allowed when the fundraiser runs through a state-recognized booster club.

Answers

The stuff everyone asks

What is the cost and how does payment work?
There's no deposit, no minimum and nothing out of your budget. The first $700 raised covers your students' two workshops. Then we split proceeds 70/30 (you keep 70%) until our max fee is reached, and you keep 100% after that. Our fee comes from card proceeds, and you keep all cash and check payments. Call us for a free quote on your max fee.
What happens if my students don't sell anything?
Worst case, we cancel the event. At most you might owe a small cancellation fee for services already used, paid from event proceeds, never your budget. We want you to succeed and will do everything we can to make that happen.
How much time do we need to prepare?
Our step-by-step system walks you through everything in 4 weeks, so we recommend starting 4 weeks before show night. You're welcome to give yourself more time.
Will you help advertise or sell tickets?
You get sales coaching, a promotions guide, a Facebook event page, digital flyers and more. You know your community best, so your team sells the tickets with all the tools you need.
