Fundraise with Donuts
Donuts are a fun and easy way to raise money for your organization.
Are you looking to raise funds for your charity, sports team, school, or nonprofit? Food is always a crowd-pleaser, but people may be getting tired of the same old chocolate and pizza fundraisers. Donuts are a fun and easy way to raise money for your organization, and sure to be a hit with your supporters.
We make it easy
- We offer a fully online fundraising platform. Once you're signed up, your organization gets a unique website for your fundraiser.
- Your supporters order and pay on the site. You don't need to touch orders or money.
- On your fundraiser delivery date, pick up your orders, or we can deliver them to you.
- Each box of donuts is labelled, making distribution easy.
- We send the proceeds directly to you.
More choice
Some fundraisers only offer one or two items, which isn’t very fun! With our donut fundraiser, your supporters can choose from:
- Classic Honey Dip donuts
- Rainbow Sprinkle donuts
- Chocolate Dip donuts
- Apple Fritters
- Munchkins
Get started
We think the best fundraisers are easy for everyone. That’s why our process is fully online – no travel required! Complete our enrolment form to get started.

You will be given access to a campaign-monitoring page that details your sales and how much money you have earned. You can monitor this page 24/7.
There are pizza fundraisers, and chocolate bar fundraisers, and popcorn fundraisers – so which one works best? Most fundraising companies don’t provide this type of information, and it will be different for every school, team, club or nonprofit that tries. It’s also hard to compare, because many products are still using paper forms and cash. So it’s hard to say. But we can say this:
- Canadians consume more donuts per capita than any other country in the world. We love donuts.
- Fundraisers that leverage digital platforms and social media have seen online donating grow over 40% since 2021.
- You will make more money selling first and buying second. If a fundraiser requires you to guess how much you’ll sell ahead of time, you risk losing money on unsold product, or leaving money on the table if you run out.
When enrolling your fundraiser, turn "attribution" on. This will add a text field to the checkout page into which supporters can type details of how their support should be attributed. This information will appear on your packing list when you received your donuts.
Delivery
No. On your scheduled delivery date, all of the donut orders will be delivered to your selected location. You are responsible for picking up the donuts and delivering them to your supporters or arranging for supporters to pick up their orders at your own facility.
Each box of donuts is labelled with:
- Your supporter's name
- Your supporter's phone number
- Your supporter's order number
- The name of your organization
Pick-up days can be scheduled for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We do not offer pick-ups on Friday or Saturday.
Payment
Your payment will be sent within 7 days of your delivery date.
We will e-transfer the funds or send a cheque, depending on your choice at time of enrollment.
