Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most organizations start by selecting the structure that best matches their timeline, participation goals, and desired level of involvement. If you're unsure, our team can help recommend an approach based on your organization’s size, season structure, and goals.
-
Implementation requirements vary by program. Easy Start is designed to require minimal involvement, while Org Wide and Full Integration offer more coordination in exchange for deeper customization and fundraising flexibility. Our goal is always to minimize operational burden.
-
This depends on the implementation structure. Some programs allow families to order directly through ABD while others coordinate participation through the organization. We’ll recommend the best fit based on your rollout goals.
-
Yes. Organizations may use ABD photography (where available) or provide their own photos. Using your own media team can often increase flexibility and reduce implementation costs.
-
That’s completely normal. Depending on your structure, photos may be collected before launch, during the season, during registration, or after participation closes. Our team can help coordinate collection when needed.
-
Payment timing depends on the partnership structure selected. Some programs collect participation before production while others align payment with registration timing or organization rollout schedules.
-
Programs include different participation structures depending on organization goals. Revenue participation may come through direct participation, discounted organization pricing, reorder opportunities, or a combination of approaches.
-
That’s common. Many organizations begin with a lightweight pilot before expanding into larger seasonal or registration-based implementations over time.
