How it works:

Why consider a restaurant fundraiser?

It's easy. It's fun. And everyone eats!
A restaurant fundraiser is an excellent way to raise money for your nonprofit or school group. Restaurant fundraiser events are a fun way to gather your supporters, share great food, and watch the donation to your cause go up and up.

Restaurants who participate in fundraisers commit to donating a percentage of sales from the event to your organization. The more people you bring to the restaurant, the greater the donation you’ll receive. (Plus, more people = more fun!)

It’s up to you! We provide the platform and the marketing tools, you bring your community. The average fundraiser event brings home a $150 donation – plus, everyone has fun, and it’s easy to schedule again! After all, everyone eats, so why not share a meal for a good cause? With Force4Good, you’re not stressing about the details and logistics so YOU can relax and enjoy, too.

Let’s say you set up your account and apply for a fundraiser today. Depending on the business hosting your fundraiser, you can schedule a fundraiser as soon as 14-28 days out, then plan on 2-6 weeks for your donation check to arrive in the mail (faster if you choose the direct deposit option). So all-in-all, we’d recommend planning on 6-8 weeks before you can put those funds to work.

As part of the application process you will be able to select your school, provide your tax ID or complete a W-9 form. After the fundraiser you will be emailed a link to digitally sign a donor acknowledgement letter. These documents are required by the IRS for your fundraiser host to tax-deduct their donation.

  • Your organization’s name
  • Your organization’s Federal Tax ID or W-9 form
  • Your mailing address (for checks) or your organization’s bank account #

… Don’t let these hold you back from getting started! You can start the process at any time – we’ll save your progress.

We’ve got you. As you set up your fundraiser, you’ll be prompted to enter your organization’s name which will automatically populate flyers, emails, and a pre-built webpage for every fundraiser,. Plus, you’ll get a fundraiser web page just for your event. We’ll send you tips and tricks for making your event even more successful as the fundraiser approaches!
