You need to raise funds for your youth group or a cause you’re supporting.
Everyone loves pizza.
I hate cheese and even I love pizza.
So combine both of these and you can raise money by selling Pizza Hut fundraising cards.
How does it work?
You order the Pizza Hut fundraising cards from NPC International, a franchisee of Pizza Hut restaurants with well over 1,000 locations in the US.
They’ll send you the fundraising cards. On each card are 12 peel-off stickers valid for a free medium pizza with three toppings when someone spends $15 or more. At the time of writing this post, a medium pizza with three toppings costs $10, so Pizza Hut fundraising cards are in theory worth $120.
The reason this is such a great youth fundraiser is because you only have to sell the cards for $10 – each person supporting your fundraiser is effectively saving $110 on pizza with each card. Your youth group gets to keep $6 from the sale of each card, with you returning the other $4 for each card to NPC International. This is done after you’ve sold the cards, so there are no upfront costs. You can also return any unsold cards, so there’s no danger of being left with surplus cards if you over-order initially.
How much can we raise?
This will all depend on how successful you and your youth group are at selling the Pizza Hut fundraising cards.
As mentioned above, you make $6 profit on each card sold. NPC International suggest ordering 5 – 15 cards per person selling them. Assuming each person sells an average of 10 cards each (the middling estimate), a youth group with 20 young people would fundraise $1,200 – think of all the bananas and sprite you could buy with that!
Who would buy Pizza Hut fundraising cards?
Anyone and everyone. As I said at the start – everyone loves pizza. And everyone loves supporting youth groups. Here are some suggestions for who your young people could sell the cards to though:
- Their parents
- Church members
- Friends
- Work colleagues (if they have a part-time job)
- Work colleagues of their parents
- College students
- Local offices
This could also be combined with other youth fundraisers as well. For example, if you’re organizing a car wash fundraiser, you could try selling the cards to people getting their cars washed while they’re waiting.
