Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why do restaurants do fundraisers for us?
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.
Can we do more than one fundraiser with a restaurant?
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.
How much money can we make with a restaurant fundraiser?
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.
Will the restaurant help us with promotional marketing?
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.
