Growing up, I was involved with many activities including a short lived Girl Guide career, my years in a girl’s choir, and my swim team where I got to go to the State finals (in Texas). As I result, I often had different types of fundraising to do. And often, the things I was selling to raise money were various combinations of junk food. Chocolates, candies, salted things, some of which I ended up devouring, putting my allowance into sugaring myself up. On twitter the other day, I saw someone similarly lament: ”My house is filled with boxes of chocolate almonds & girl guide cookies to sell. Why does fundraising go hand-in-hand with junk food?”, which shows me that the same issue my mum and I were struggling with 15 years ago is still as present now.
So, what’s a solution? How do organizations with fundraising needs do it in a way that doesn’t put food with all sorts of multi-syllabic ingredients (look on those chocolate almonds, mine had all sorts of wild things in them) in the hands of school children? Well, we have a solution. At spud!, we’re proud to be launching our fundraising program, which marries all the great benefits of fresh, local, and organic food with supporting non-profit organizations and community groups.
One of our lovely e-flyers
Here’s how it works. We provide you with a unique code to share far and wide to whomever you would like. When those lovely people sign up for spud! service with that code, and place their first order, they earn $10 for your group. After their second order, $10 more and so on, with the fourth order they would earn $20 towards fundraising. And it really is that simple!
You give friends, neighbors, family members, friendly people on the bus a code for your organization, they sign up and start ordering, and you start meeting your fundraising goals. Each person who signs up has the potential of earning up to $50 towards your fundraising goal.
We’re also working to run a paperless campaign with you, so we’ll email you gorgeous flyers and posters with your unique code, that you can distribute through your contacts, all without printing a page!
