Restaurants know the value of providing easy fundraising opportunities for schools and nonprofits. That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to get started— download our top 10 lists of national chain restaurants and 10 national pizza restaurants.
The list of chain restaurants and pizza stores helps you select a restaurant fundraising partner faster, providing more time to promote your fundraising event, which is the key to your fundraising success.
Your fundraiser’s success directly relates to how many people know about it. Begin promoting it early by telling your friends, colleagues, and family. Use social media, email, flyers, videos, and posters, plus add it to your website. Make sure your committee, board, and organization know the date and details of the fundraiser.
Chain restaurants that do fundraising are faithful stewards of the community, just like your school or organization. They’re not simply doing a fundraiser together because that’s business. They are building a relationship, which is exactly what you want them to do.
And business-wise, your organization may bring them new customers to their restaurant and they are counting on that.
Yes! It’s actually a smart idea. Why? Because you can consider your first fundraiser as your “practice” run. Many schools and nonprofits try to do a restaurant fundraiser monthly, except November and December. They typically hold those months for holiday events.
The amount of money you make from a restaurant fundraiser is directly related to how much promotional effort you put toward the fundraiser. We can’t stress enough how important it is to reach out to friends and family personally to get them to participate. The next step is to ramp up your other promotional endeavors such as flyers, emails, social media, posters, etc. The more people who know about it, the greater success you’ll enjoy.
Chain restaurants that offer fundraising opportunities typically have support from their national franchise headquarters. The support may be in the form of posters, flyers, logos, reward cards, etc. Ask your promotional partner what they can do for you in terms of promotions. Advice may be the best tool they can provide.
