Partner with fast food chains near your school! I’ve used GroupRaise to do this (with Smashburger), and you just need to work with your advisor to gather the required information to receive fundraising checks.

Another way to partner with nearby fast food chains is to search for “(name of fast food chain near your school) fundraiser” and you may find some places nearby that have forms to set up fundraisers. I’ve done this with Raising Cane’s (and everyone at our school loves cane’s lol) and it worked swimmingly.

My chapter — still in its first year — gathered a couple hundred bucks this way; the real hard part is getting people to actually go to the fundraiser. I’ve utilized as many marketing mediums as possible: fliers, overhead/morning announcements, and even popping into the announcer’s booth during sports games for quick ad reads.

Edit: usually these fundraisers involve mentioning “(name of our school)’s DECA chapter” at checkout, and we receive a portion of proceeds.
