Fundraising

A lot of ideas about fundraising have been thrown around the group including bake sales, sponsored events, magic tricks, busking etc but it sounds harder than I originally thought. For a bake sale, you need to make sure that you actually make a profit - you don't want to spend £30 on baking materials and then earn £30 from selling the cakes. That would be useless! For busking (eg. playing an instrument on the street) you need a license, which would also cost money. It seems that in order to raise money you need to spend everything first.

A company who I personally love Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme has got its own fundraising page where it explains how to raise some money thanks to Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

 Need a more interesting way to raise money for your charity?

Whether you are a charity looking to raise money at a specific event or an individual looking for a different way to hit that sponsorship target, Krispy Kreme’s fundraising scheme is here to help.

From early on in our history, Krispy Kreme has supported charities and played an active role in the local community. We know that it is increasingly difficult to simply ask people to make a donation, which is why our scheme allows you to sell them something they’ll love, our doughnuts, whilst you make a profit for your charity!

I think that sounds pretty fabulous - and delicious of course. If we explain to Krispy Kreme we need to raise money for an exhibition they might be able to help us out. I have just sent them an email asking whether we can apply for fundraising as well seeing as we aren't a charity, however they say fundraising is for non-profit organisations too. 

It’s really simple – you purchase our Original Glazed doughnuts from us at the special fundraising price of £3.95 a dozen, you sell them on for £7.95 per dozen or £1.20 per doughnut with your charity receiving all of the profit – couldn’t be easier! Alternatively we offer Krispy Kreme fundraising vouchers – you may like to buy vouchers in addition to, or instead of, doughnuts.

You are welcome to request hats, banners and balloons and, for the more ambitious amongst you, we even have a Krispy Kreme marquee you can hire.
