This is a common fundraising model where local restaurants partner with non-profits or community groups, donating a percentage (often 10-20%) of sales from a specific day or event to support the organization, encouraging supporters to dine out and show a flyer or mention the cause to get credit. It’s a win-win, raising funds for the group and bringing customers to the restaurant, benefiting schools, sports teams, charities, and more.
How it works
- Partnership: A non-profit or group teams up with a restaurant.
- Promotion: The organization promotes the event to their supporters (e.g., via social media, flyers).
- The Event: Supporters dine at the restaurant on the chosen date/time and present a flyer or mention the organization.
- Donation: The restaurant then donates a percentage of the sales (excluding alcohol, tax, gratuity) back to the group.
It’s an easy way to support local businesses and community causes simultaneously, turning a meal into a donation.
