These days, it’s not unusual for potential donors to shy away from giving, not because they don’t support the school anymore, but because they have so many other pressing financial priorities. And for many people, eating out has become more of a luxury than it used to be. Here’s a simple way to solve both problems – a way for your organization to raise money and for your donors to get a discount at their favorite restaurants. It’s a win-win for everybody.

The plan is simple. Your organization buys restaurant gift cards from efundraising.com for ten dollars each and then sells them to supporters for twenty dollars. So your school group earns 50% profit - $10 on each card right away. The great thing for the people who buy the card from you is that it'sredeemable for $50 in restaurant discounts, so the buyer nets thirty dollars for dining and you school nets ten dollars on each card..

After the purchase, the donor scratches the back of the card to get a certificate code, which is then entered at Restaurant.com. The donor selects from a wide variety of restaurants from neighborhood breakfast places to fine dining establishments, prints out a gift certificate in a denomination from ten to fifty dollars, and then dines away.

One of the downsides to this card is that for small towns there may not be many participating restaurants. However for large cities you can find hundreds of places. Many of the listings also contain a link to the restaurant’s main web site for more detailed information. No worries though, you can search the website before commiting to this fundraiser to see how many participating restaurants are in your area. The web site offers information about each participating restaurant including the location, hours, menu, and photos. You can even redeem the certificates online for spa gifts, cookies, fruit, and more.

Since the discounts are good at thousands of restaurants across the country, you can sell the cards to friends and relatives no matter where they live. making this a practical and easy way to raise money, especially for groups or teams. Your group has to purchase at least ten cards, which will bring in one hundred dollars. If you can’t sell all of your cards, they’re returnable as long as they haven’t been scratched. They also have no expiration date, so you can use them as an ongoing fundraising tool.
