Group Order/Fundraiser
GROUP ORDERS
- Each person saves $2.00 on all items purchased when ordering in a group. -OR- They can choose to skip the discount so that more money goes to fund the fight!
- Minimum order = 8 bags of coffee.
- Ideal for small groups (at work, church, club members, etc.) who would like less money to be spent on shipping, so we pass those savings on to anti-trafficking orgs.
- Reduce your carbon footprint

FUNDRAISERS
- Ideal for large groups like schools or nonprofit organizations seeking to raise money to benefit the group's cause
- No upfront costs!
- Coffee lovers drink coffee every day, so it's a great repeat fundraiser!
- Selling 3 Items (coffee, mugs & tees) is better than selling one item!
- Everyone who remains a FIGHT COFFEE customer after your fundraiser ends will continue to impact others by funding the fight against human trafficking...giving people an added incentive to participate!
- Customer Service is our top priority so we'll walk with you every step of the way!

Note: Group members can invite local family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. Keep in mind group members will be responsible for picking up and delivering orders to those they invited.
#3 Follow up after you invite someone to be a part of the Group Order! People are busy and life happens to easily distract! A friendly reminder (or two) prior to the deadline is a good idea.
#4 Process the orders
A. When preparing each individual's order, DOUBLE & TRIPLE CHECK bag labels to make sure customers who ordered "whole bean" or "ground" coffee get what they ordered!
B. For larger groups, bag each individual order and put the customer's name on the bag. This will make the pick up process quick and easy.
C. IMPORTANT! The Group member whose name appears in the Special Instructions Box on the Packing Slip is to be given the order placed by the person whose name, address and phone number is listed on the same Packing Slip.
Q: What's the difference between a Group Order and a Fundraiser?
A: They differ in two ways:
1. Group Orders save group members $2.00 per bag
2. Fundraisers benefit the group's charity or an anti-trafficking organization.

One of the most effective fundraising models is where participants raise money from friends and family. Even when people don’t know about a particular organization or care about the cause, what’s most important is that
people give to people they know – it’s all about the relationship!
➽ Participants can purchase all FIGHT COFFEE products online so it’s super easy!
➽ All product descriptions are found on the Shop pages of our website
➽ All orders will be placed the first business day after the order deadline
➽ All orders will be shipped to one location
➽ All coffee, mugs and tees will ship separately. It will be the responsibility of the Fundraising leader to pay strict attention to each customer's packing slip to make sure they get exactly what they ordered.
➽ Coffee order minimum requirement
Costa Rican = 70 bags per type per fundraiser
Peruvian = 70 bags per type per fundraiser
Brazilian Decaf = no minimum order requirement
Mugs & Tees = no minimum order requirement
Note: If the Costa Rican order do not meet the minimum requirement but the Peruvian does (or vise versa), only the coffee that does not meet the minimum order requirement will generate $2 per bag instead of $5 per bag.
➽ Donation amounts per item purchased
Coffee > $5.00 per bag
Mugs > $2.00 @ 24+ $6.00 @ 144+

When schools and teams do fundraisers, they often get stuck into selling the same things. If your kid is on the basketball team and does a chocolate bar fundraiser and your other kid is on the volleyball team and they also do chocolate bars, it gets old pretty quickly for both parents and those the kids sell to. But coffee lovers drink coffee every day (or frequently) so a coffee fundraiser is always on point!
FUNDRAISING TIPS
If you are doing a one item fundraiser, you may want to also offer a coffee option for those who are not interested in the product you've chosen to sell.
Leverage the energy and excitement of your event through:
Local newspapers and of course social media!
Corporate sponsors or underwriters may be willing to matching-funds.
Incorporate a FIGHT COFFEE fundraiser into an existing fundraiser. If you are hosting an event (5K, dance-a-thon, banquet etc.) let the coffee drinkers in know they have an additional means by which they can support your cause. If they say “no” to option one, they may say, “yes” to option two.
Fundraisers can be a great tie into academics. If done correctly, students working together for a common goal can learn fundamental life skills such as teamwork, creativity, customer service and goal setting. All of these and more can be incorporated into your fundraiser. So if (let’s say) the soccer team is raising money for uniforms, they may ask students learning about economics, finance, business, etc. to participate for more educational reasons.
Include promotional information. Cards, flyers, buttons, etc. can be included in the order that goes out to fundraising participants! For more info contact Anthony at info@fightcoffee.org
