How it Works

FAQ:

1. Who is eligible?
Any 501c3 organization such as a school, community or charitable organization, is eligible for raising funds through our program.
2. Who is my primary contact person?
Your local Schwan’s Home Service representative. Call 888‐SCHWANS, option 4 to obtain contact information.
3. How long does it take to set up an event?
It is best to start 2 to 3 weeks prior to the prospective date so there is ample time for promoting the event; however, you have the option to set up an event sooner if your local Schwan's Home Service representative can accommodate your request.
4. How can people who do not live in the area or who happen to be out of town the day of the event support the fundraiser?
They can call 888‐SCHWANS, option 4 and order gift certificates up until the day of the event, which are mailed directly to the purchaser, unless specified otherwise. Gift certificate sales will be added to product sales to determine the donation amount due to the organization.

Gift certificates can be redeemed at the event; however, the dollars redeemed will not be applied to the total event sales.
