fundraiser application

Welcome and thank you for your interest in hosting a fundraiser at Urban Plates! For your convenience, fundraisers may take place both in-restaurant and online. Urban Plates donates 20% of net proceeds to support your cause. To give our restaurants time to prepare, fundraiser applications must be submitted at least 1 month prior to the event date.

Eligibility
We partner with various non-profits for fundraisers such as:

• K-12 Schools
• Youth Based Charities & Outreach Programs
• Food & Agriculture-Based Programs
• Other 501(c)(3) organizations

We are not able to support the following types of organizations and causes:

• For-profit organizations or businesses
• Political or religious groups
• Individual causes
• Organizations that discriminate against a person or a group on the basis of gender, ethnicity, age, race, national origin, disability, political affiliation, sexual orientation or religious belief.

Urban Plates maintains the right to use the information provided in this application to verify your organization’s eligibility and tax exemption status. Applications that do not meet our criteria may be rejected at any stage in the process. Urban Plates reserves the right to deny applications and/or cancel a scheduled fundraiser for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion.

How It Works
Complete and submit your fundraiser application through this online form. Fundraiser approvals will be sent by email. If approved, we will provide a digital flyer for you to promote your fundraiser with your organization. Setting up tables, stands, or passing out flyers in or directly outside Urban Plates is not permitted.

For purchases to count towards your fundraiser, your supporters must either a) make their purchase at the register and present a physical fundraiser flyer or digital flyer on a mobile device, or b) order online at urbanplates.com or on the Urban Plates app and enter your fundraiser’s code during the checkout process. Catering orders, orders placed through third-party platforms (e.g., DoorDash), and gift card purchases will not count towards your fundraiser. A $250 minimum event sales amount is required to be eligible to receive any donation of event proceeds.

Urban Plates will donate 20% of the net proceeds from valid purchases (excluding any tax, tip, delivery fees, orders placed through third-party platforms, catering orders, or gift card purchases). A minimum net sales amount of $250 must be met in order to receive a donation from your fundraiser. Donations will be issued as a check made payable to your organization and mailed through the USPS.

Fundraisers are a joint effort between your organization and Urban Plates. Throughout the fundraiser process, you agree to utilize the Urban Plates brand name in a professional and respectful manner.

By submitting this application form, you represent and warrant to the best of your knowledge that the information provided is accurate and that you hold the authority to submit the application on behalf of your organization.
