Texas Roadhouse Dine to Donate Fundraiser

With a dine to donate fundraiser, you and your supporters dine in or order take-out from your favorite Texas Roadhouse location. Then, they donate 10-15% of the total sales from your event back to your cause!

Placing an event request takes less than one minute on GroupRaise and works like this:

1. Select a location near you
2. Choose a date and time
3. Press submit!

Once you’ve chosen a desired location, date, and time that works for your organization, the next step is to spread the word. Tell any and all group members, friends, family, coworkers, and potential supporters that would be interested in indulging in some steak for a good cause.

On the day of your Texas Roadhouse Fundraiser, supporters order from your chosen location during the given time frame and tell their server that they are a part of the fundraiser. It’s that simple!

After the fundraiser, Texas Roadhouse will donate 10-15% of the total sales from your event back to your chosen cause within four to six weeks. With average meal prices at $16, this can be an easy way to earn great money for your cause!

The fundraising requests must be made at least two weeks before the desired fundraising date, in order for the restaurant to have enough time to prepare for the event, as well as for you to have enough time to spread the word to as many supporters as possible.

The Texas Roadhouse dine to donate fundraiser is one of the best fundraising ideas for groups.  What better reason is there to enjoy a delicious meal of hand-cut steaks, juicy ribs, and scrumptious sides than raising money for a good cause?

Texas Roadhouse Donation Requests

Texas Roadhouse places a high value on giving back to the community. To request a donation–whether in dollars, gift cards, or food–write to the Managing Partner of your local Texas Roadhouse. If you don’t have the local contact, you can start by sending a message through their general contact page. 

Texas Roadhouse asks that you submit the request on your organization’s official letterhead and include the following information:

• The charitable organization’s full name
• Address
• Phone and fax numbers
• The donation request
• Date the donation is needed
• Purpose of use

Donation requests must be made at least 30 days before when the donation is needed. Texas Roadhouse unfortunately cannot say “yes” to every request that is made, and decisions are made by the individual location. Reach out to a Texas Roadhouse near you to see if your cause is eligible for donation!
