How does a Meal PopUp Fundraiser work for a Fundraising Organization?

• Fundraising Organizations receive a percentage of each meal sold as a donation.

  1. New Donation Earnings (effective Oct 3rd). Plus bonuses including a free meal for the host & a chance to win an extra $100 donation each PopUp Month!

     • 5% Donation for less than $500 & pick up from restaurant required.

     • 5% Donation for $501-$999. Pick up from the restaurant required unless you have submitted proof of at least 10 required promotional activities.

     • 10% Donation for $1000-$1999. Restaurant will deliver & do distribution. *Plus a Free Meal for host if all required promotional steps were completed & the chance to win an extra $100 donation at the end of the month.

     • 15% Donation for $2000+. Restaurant will deliver & do distribution. *Plus a Free Meal for host if all required promotional steps were completed & bonus entries to win an extra $100 donation at the end of the month.

• Fundraising Organizations should aim to get 30 meals sold. This is when you earn a solid amount of funds, earn a free meal, and get the chance to win an additional $100 donation! It’s a good idea to have 10 supporters help you plan the PopUp date, restaurant, etc who plan to purchase a meal. Teamwork makes the dream work!

• To get set up Fundraising Organizations must choose a date (Tues, Wed, or Thurs only), a restaurant, and a 15 minute pick up window. We have 6 partner restaurants to choose from: (Click to view their PopUp Menus)

On the night of your Family Meal PopUp:

• The restaurant will distribute the meals from their vehicle during the allotted 15 minute window. (Assuming you have surpassed $500 in net sales & completed at least 10 required promotion methods.)

• We do require a volunteer from your organization to be on site with our restaurants. Likely, they won’t have to do anything at all except thank supporters. However, if a supporter runs late, the restaurant will give their meal to your volunteer to figure out the best way to deliver that meal.

  • Sometimes volunteers find it easier just to drop the meal off on their way home rather than wait. Other times, volunteers take the meal to their home and have the late supporter come to their home for pick up. It rarely happens, but it is good to have an idea of your plan in case it does!

Organizations find this to be the easiest fundraiser! Why? Because the only thing you really have to do for a successful event is promote the fundraiser by sharing your event link with all of your supporters.
