Fundraising made easy, and healthy 

Is your school, sporting club or community group looking to raise funds? Here's a fundraising idea that's easy to implement and raises money for your project while supporting families in your community to eat and feel well.

Your Farm Door Healthy Meal Drive is a game-changing fundraising program that will appeal to everyone - kids, busy parents and retirees. Our difference? Instead of a traditional fundraising drive using chocolate, donuts or pies, you can provide households in your community with healthy meals.

How it works 

This is for you if you're looking for an easy to implement fundraising idea.

2. We’ll set you up with a fundraising code to raise money for your project. Every meal ordered on Farm Door with this code will contribute to your fundraising, with 20% from each sale going to you. The more meals you sell in your drive, the more $$ for your project! You simply promote, and we deliver the meals to family's doors. No logistics required on your end. 
3. A few dinners is an easy sell for busy parents. Your school or sporting community will love and generously get behind this fundraising idea. Plus you’ll receive fun ways to share all the details your community needs to order their meals, including posters with links for people to purchase meals and share with their networks.

FAQs

How do I apply?

Simply complete this form by simply sharing 1-3 sentences about your fundraising project and the best way for us to be in touch with you. 

Why is Farm Door offering to fund community initiatives?

Great question! When we launched our home delivery service, we had a choice. Advertise on social media (and give Mark Zuckerburg 10% of our profits), or promote our business locally (and give our marketing budget back to the community!). As a family running a regionally based business with young children, it just seemed obvious to us that investing back into the wellbeing of our community is the best thing to do. 

Who’s it for?

If you’re a leader within a school, sporting club or community organisation with a project you need funds for, this is for you!

How much time do I need to invest?

Good news, we’re making fundraising super easy with minimal time required (as someone with a not-for-profit background I totally get how important this is). No detailed applications, door knocking, begging, pleading, planning or reporting required!

How does delivery work?

Your community places their order using your code via our website. As the orders are received, we deliver the meals to their door. You, as the Organiser do not have to receive, keep track or deliver the orders, we are keeping it as easy as can be for you! At the end of your fundraising period, we run a sales report for your code and transfer your 20% into your nominated organisation's bank account.

Any minimum requirements?

There is no limit on how many community members can order, nor is there any limits on how many meals each family order. However the more each customer orders the greater the benefit for the fundraising project. 

How does the math work?

Your code will automatically provide your community with an immediate 5% discount on meals to incentivise them to use your code. Your unique code also allows us to generate a report at the end of your fundraising period so we can work out the amount of funds you raised which is calculated at 20% of your total orders. 

So your customers get 5% off their total order and the fundraising project gets 20% of the total orders sold.

Any Costs involved?

There is no outlay, upfront fees, nor ongoing costs to the fundraising project to host their Farm Door Healthy Meal Drive. You promote as widely as you like, and your community buy as much as they wish, at delivery times that suit them.

How much money can we raise?

How much money you raise is dependent on your fundraising goals and timeframe.

• If you want to buy $1,000 of sports equipment in 3 months time, you might run your campaign over a short period, say a month and 50 households in your community might buy 2-3 nights of meals, meaning you will raise ~$1000.
• If you want to raise $10,000 to spend at the end of the year, you can keep your campaign open all year round.

We’re happy to discuss a plan that works for you and your fundraising goal.
