We have been part of the program for many years, GroupRaise helps Venezia’s NY Style Pizzeria to consistently bring in people that may not have eaten with us before. It’s an opportunity for us to make a great impression. The groups supporters know that they’re giving back to their community while getting some great pizza and Italian food for their families!

Hosting restaurant fundraisers is a great tool to boost sales, all while building a strong connection with your local community and helping important causes.

 

When I was a college student I was President of the Student Senate. I experienced firsthand the challenges of fundraising money for organizations we cared about. More often than not every hour spent fundraising would result in less than minimum wage equivalents in proceeds. I love Groupraise because now I can give local organizations a fast and easy way to raise money with proceeds that greatly outperform anything I ever worked with in the past.
