Requesting your El Pollo Loco fundraising event takes just one minute. Here’s how:
You will need to book at least 14 days in advance. After that, the restaurant will have 7 days to respond to your request. By planning ahead, you’ll have plenty of time to spread the word.
** Please note: El Pollo Loco requires a W9 form to approve your event. You can attach it to your profile or send it to the restaurant contact. You do not need to be a non-profit organization to fill out a W9 form. More information on a W9 Form here.
Once the restaurant confirms your event, it’s time to start promoting! Log into your social media accounts and notify your friends, family, and supporters about your El Pollo Loco fundraising event. Share your event’s GroupRaise Meal Page, so supporters can RSVP and get an email reminder on the day of the fundraiser. The more people that attend, the more you’ll raise for your organization! Check out our post about how to promote/host a successful restaurant fundraiser for more tips and advice.
Next, your attendees just need to show up during your event’s time slot and tell the restaurant staff they’re dining to support your cause. No setup, no teardown, no hassle-just tell everyone to show up hungry. Everyone will be dying to get some tasty Mexican food! Finally, 4-6 weeks after the event, El Pollo Loco will send a check to your group containing a whopping 20% of your event’s total sales.
That’s it! …Until your next event, that is. Once you’ve seen for yourself how easy and fun El Pollo Loco fundraising is, you’ll be itching to host another event. Good news: you can hold as many as you want!
