Celebrity Chefs Ming Tsai and Jacques Pepin at Savor 2019Thank you for your interest in supporting the Rhode Island Community Food Bank with your fundraising efforts. Donors like you are essential to helping the Food Bank acquire and distribute healthy, nutritious food for our neighbors in need.

Start Fundraising

To help you understand what is possible and allowable, the Food Bank has created guidelines for third party events and cause marketing campaigns. Those can be read below, along with a few examples of each type of fundraiser.

Third Party Event Cause Marketing Campaign
Special events organized by an individual or organization where money is collected with the intent to donate it to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Such as:

  • Holding a benefit concert
  • Car shows
  • Bowling tournament
Funding and promotional campaigns where some percentage of a company’s sales are contributed to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Such as:

  • Selling a product with all/a portion of the proceeds going to the Food Bank.
  • Collecting donations at registers
  • Round up campaigns to the nearest dollar

If you are combining both methods, please treat that as a cause marketing campaign.
