HOW IT WORKS

Our goal at Local Eats Fundraising ("LEF"), is to make organizing and executing a fundraising campaign as simple and delicious as possible!
While there is still lots of effort and work required to make a fundraiser successful,  we have setup our system to try and reduce the administrative burden on fundraising coordinators. Gone are the days of collecting order sheets, adding up item sales by hand and chasing down payment from everyone. With LEF, each member and supporter of your organization can input their own item sales and submit payment online. 

HOW OUR FUNDRAISERS WORK

1.SET UP A FUNDRAISER 
  • Have your fundraiser coordinator fill our our request form below
  • The LEF team will contact you, typically within 24 hours of receiving a request form. We will discuss the details of your fundraiser request and decide if it is a good fit for your organization and LEF. 
  • Once approved we will set the dates of your fundraisers Selling Period and approximate Delivery Date:
    • Selling Period - typically 2 weeks long, during this time the members of your organization are actively selling products to friends, family, co-workers etc. 
    • Delivery Date - time and location for LEF will deliver all items ordered by your organization.

2. PROMOTE YOUR FUNDRAISER - the more products your organization sells the more money you will raise! 
  • Once the fundraiser has been confirmed and goes live, each Organization will have their own option on our website that they can use to sell products to their friends, family, co-workers etc. This link can be shared individually, or you can direct folks to the website and have them choose your fundraiser from the list of Active Fundraisers​
  • Once the order is completed, a copy will automatically be emailed to LEF  and the customer for confirmation
  • They will then input their own orders and complete payment on the site.  Easy as that!

3. MONEY RAISED - once the Selling Period has ended LEF will provide the fundraising coordinator with a summary of the total sales and will send 25% of that amount to the organization by e-transfer (or alternative method if required)

4. DELIVERY & DISTRIBUTION - at the pre-arranged delivery time and location,  LEF will deliver all items purchased by the organization.
  • Items delivered will already be sorted and packaged by order. No need for additional volunteers! 
  • Organization volunteers will only need to receive the orders, and hand them out to their supporters
  • Supporters also have the option to choose from an alternate pick up location at our retail shop if they cannot make the dedicated date and time frame that was chosen by your fundraiser
