Who is Your City Sampler? Your City Sampler is an established company with a fresh approach to fundraising. We are passionate about helping people raise money for causes that are near and dear to their heart. We make fundraising simple by bringing local and national brands together within the community to make them easily accessible to you and your nonprofit. We power their fundraiser, manage their brand identity and do all the work for them to make it easier for you to connect with bigger brands with more options.
How do you help nonprofits raise money? We help nonprofits reach their necessary funding goals by offering a variety of Fundraising Partners to choose from. We make it simple for you because the fundraiser is ready to go at a moment’s notice and appeals to a broader audience. Each Fundraising Partner offers an exclusive card that is worth $50-200 in free food but sells for $10.
Do you really make fundraising easy? Yes!
How do you make fundraising easy for my nonprofit, school, youth group, charity, teams and churches? We take the time to go out into your community and initiate relationships with your favorite restaurants and stores. We work with these brands so they are easily accessible to you and your nonprofit. We do all the work for them so that they are more open to helping you raise money. When you are ready for your fundraiser the restaurants are already on board and ready to help.
How do you make fundraising easy for my restaurant/business? As a Fundraising Partner we help EMPOWER you so that you can INVEST in your community. We work closely with each brand to develop the appropriate deals for your exclusive Fundraising Card. Once the deals are set, we create any and all marketing pieces that are needed for your store. We create a list of potential nonprofits, civic groups and community organizations that we will focus on and we help bring business to your door.
Who can sell these cards? We are offering the chance to sell these cards to any local nonprofit, school, youth group, charity, teams and churches. This could be anyone from a little league team, dance team, school PTA, church group or civic group.
Do I need to be a 501(c)(3) organization to participate in these fundraisers? You will need to include your EIN during the checkout process and email or fax a copy of your IRS Letter of Determination once you have placed your order. Email your document HERE or fax it to 816-841-7829. Check the IRS website to see if your group is exempt. Groups, teams, clubs and various youth groups who don’t have this status are welcome through an internal audit of your organization after your order has been submitted to clarify status of your organizations.
How does it work? Our Fundraising Partners (restaurants or stores) provide 10 “deals” that range from $50-$200 worth of FREE food that is offered on one Fundraising Card exclusive to that restaurant/store. The nonprofit signs up to use a brand(s), orders 150-300 fundraising cards and sells them for $10 a piece. They practically sell themselves! This gives the nonprofit a simple and easy fundraiser while your favorite restaurant/stores gets the satisfaction of helping their community.
What is offered on the cards? Each card is exclusive to one brand. The front highlights the Fundraising Partner while the backside lists the 10 deals offered by that restaurant. These deals are typically Buy One Get One Free and ‘FREE’ offers and are good for one use.
How much money can my nonprofit raise selling these cards? Every card sells for $10 with $6 going to your nonprofit or 60% plus profit per unit sold. With an average of 15 participants for every group, selling 10-15 cards a piece, you will raise between $900-$1350 in a short amount of time.
How much do the cards cost? We do not charge you for the cards upfront but we do charge for their shipping. We give you the opportunity to order as many cards as you want, let you sell as many as you can and invoice you for the cards ordered after 60 days. This allows you to raise the money prior to paying for the fundraising cards.
How much does it cost to ship the cards? We charge $12.58 for delivery of your cards through UPS. Your signature will be required at the time of delivery so we recommend giving a DAY TIME address when you are checking out. This will prevent any delays in receiving your cards.
How many cards should I order? This number depends on the size of your group. Each participant should be able to sell 10 cards to their friends, family and teachers. If you are still unsure, we suggest ordering between 150-300 cards per fundraiser.
If our nonprofit sells all of the cards from our first order, can we order more during the 60 day fundraiser? Absolutely! You will have to pay for the fundraising cards ordered on the first order and order more with another 60 days to raise money/funds for your organization.
How long does a fundraiser last? Our fundraisers last 60 days. You can shorten this to fit the needs of your nonprofit if needed.
Can we personalize the fundraising card with our name or logo? Yes. Give us a call at 816-841-7828 to discuss our various options.
How many times can I use the deals on these cards? These cards are a onetime use value. There are typically 10 deals on the back and once they are used, the restaurant/store punches a hole through the appropriate spot.
What date range will the cards be sold in? These fundraisers will be available all year round. Once a group signs up they will have 60 days to sell their cards and collect the money. The cards are good for one year.
How long will it take for us to get our cards? Once your cards are successfully ordered, you will receive them within 10 business days and have 60 days to sell, sell, sell.
Can you help us make our fundraiser successful? Yes! We can help you by creating a custom digital order form that helps you keep organized as you sell. We will also email you the fliers that match your Fundraising Partner so you can print and put them up in your community. We are also available by phone at 816-841-7828.
Can we split our card order between two or more Fundraising Partners? Absolutely! All you need to do is place an order from each of the preferred Fundraising Partner pages and it will be added to your shopping cart. You can order 100 from one restaurant and 100 from another or any other number combination. If you have any questions please email us at info@yourcitysampler.com or give us a call at 816-841-7828.
