All The Perks of Coffee Fundraisers

Coffee gets the work world rolling out of bed on a Monday morning. This fundraiser offers a high demand market compared to overly sweet candy bar and cookie dough fundraisers. Coffee fundraisers appeal to a wide range of people. Plus, this grocery store item is purchased regularly, so you are providing a convenience to your customers by delivering it to their doors. Coffee also makes a great gift, it’s non-perishable, and it works well in conjunction with other food fundraisers. But don’t limit your coffee sales to door-to-door knocking. Your coffee addicts will come to you if you offer unique yet rewarding java fundraisers such as coffee tastings, and coffee houses complete with entertainment, and gourmet coffee beans from around the globe.

A Culinary Twist: Fundraising Cooking Classes

Cooking fundraisers are popular because people love to cook, and more of us love to eat what others love to cook! That’s why we’ve put together five finger-licking cooking fundraisers for your creative and tasting enjoyment. So put on your favorite pair of oven mitts, and get your organization ready to host cooking classes with the help of a local cooking school or culinary celebrity who will teach everyone how to whip up a closely-guarded family favorite. We also give you tips on how to sell community-created cookbooks, or get your neighborhood in the competitive spirit with an old fashioned chili cook-off, complete with salsa or hot sauce tastings. Finally, we give your local restaurants and star chefs a reason to toot their own horns with a restaurant tasting event where folks can sample three to five dishes for a nominal fee.
