This FAQ will answer your burning questions about hosting a fundraiser with Chiavetta’s:
Q: What causes or organizations can partner with Chiavetta’s?
We’re happy to support all organizations and businesses, regardless of the cause! Whether you’re raising money for a school group, a faith-based organization, or a local sports team, Chiavetta’s is here to help.
Q: When can I schedule my fundraiser?
You can plan your fundraiser for any day that works for you! We book fundraisers one week to one year in advance. The sooner you book, the better chance you have of securing your preferred date.
Q: What does Chiavetta’s provide for the event?
Chiavetta’s will be on-site the day of your fundraiser to cook the delicious chicken you order. However, we kindly ask that your volunteers handle assembling, serving, and selling the meals. We do not provide tents, tables, or other equipment.
Q: How many volunteers will I need?
We recommend having 4-6 volunteers to help your fundraiser run smoothly.
Here’s a breakdown of ideal roles:
- 1 volunteer to handle cash collection
- 2 volunteers to prep and assemble meals
- 1 volunteer as a runner for any additional needs
- 2 volunteers to rotate duties throughout the event
Q: Should I sell tickets in advance?
Pre-selling tickets is a great way to gauge how much chicken you’ll need and ensure you have enough food for everyone. It also simplifies logistics on the day of the event.
Q: How does my organization make money?
Your organization’s profit comes from the markup you set on the meals you sell.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Your investment is the cost of the chicken, any additional sides, and supplies you purchase from Chiavetta’s.
- You set the price of your meal. This price should cover your expenses to Chiavetta’s and then anything on top of that becomes your fundraising profit.
Q: How much experience do I need to plan a fundraiser?
No worries if you’re a fundraising newbie! Our team is here to guide you through the process. We can help you decide on the best options for your event, including the number of chickens, sides, and supplies.
Q: Do I have to schedule my fundraiser during the spring and summer?
No, you can hold your fundraiser throughout the year! We will grill the chicken outdoors regardless of the season. However, you can always choose to serve the meals indoors for your guests’ comfort.
Q: What are the basic things I need to order?
The essentials are:
- Choose the number of chickens you need (minimum 400)
- Optional: Chiavetta’s Homemade or Commercial Sides
- Paper products and serving supplies (take out containers, gloves, serving utensils)
