Fundraise with Hannaford Gift Cards
Your organization will earn $4 for every $100 Hannaford gift card your community purchases.
Therefore, if 100 individuals in your community purchase a $100 gift card every month, you would earn $400 (4% of $10,000) every month!
Hundreds of non-profits just like yours have used this initiative to raise millions of dollars:

Here is How it Works
Onboarding
1. First, we’ll set up a custom website where folks can purchase Hannaford Gift Cards using various payment methods (credit card, debit card, Apple Pay etc.). Check out this example.
2. After, you’ll share the website with your community, letting them know that every grocery purchase earns a generous 4% for your organization.
Ordering Cards and Sending Them to Your Community
3. Then, every Monday, 100% of the funds to purchase gift cards are transferred from the website directly into your bank account.
4. And every Tuesday, you will transfer 96% of the funds our way, and we’ll take care of purchasing the gift cards and sending them to your community members via email, ready to use in-store or through Hannaford To Go.
5. Finally, here’s the best part. You will keep the remaining 4% for whatever you need – whether it’s programs, equipment upgrades, sports teams, events, you name it!
It’s as easy as that!

Frequently Asked Questions
It is up for you! But the more gift cards your school community purchases, the more you earn. For example, if 200 parents purchase $200 of Hannaford gift cards each month (well below a normal family’s monthly grocery bill!), your school would earn $1600 every month!
First, your community will purchase cards in the Zeffy platform via credit card, ACH, Apple Pay, etc. with no fees.
Then, Zeffy will verify the funds are not fraudulent and transfer those funds that have been cleared to your account every Monday.
Every Wednesday, TEG will send you an invoice for 96% of the total amount due the following Monday.
Please note TEG will not send gift cards to community members until it receives funds from you.
Previously, schools managed the program independently. However, they faced administrative challenges like collecting funds and addressing purchasing issues. Dealing with gift card distribution problems added to this burden. But, we’ve eliminated these complications. Now, we ensure a smoother and more convenient experience for you.
First, we will help! Specifically, we will:
- Provide marketing materials for you each month (email newsletters, flyers, etc.).
- After, we will email your community members who have purchased before reminding them to purchase again every month
Also, we encourage you to include the custom platform link we create for you in all newsletters. In addition, we will provide you a QR code so you can advertise the program at events such as parent-teacher conferences, PTO meetings, sports games, etc.
Any non-profit can take advantage of this program; there is no group too large or too small. All you need is a legal organization name, bank account, and Federal Tax ID.
We will email the cards to your community members via the email they provide us.
First, if you are in the store, you can show the card to the cashier and scan it. Otherwise, if you purchase online as a “Hannaford To Go” order, you can add the gift card number.
Our partner, Zeffy, employs cutting-edge fraud detection technology to verify the legitimacy of all funds used for purchasing Hannaford cards.
This thorough process typically takes around 3 days to complete. Subsequently, it takes approximately 24 hours for you to transfer the funds to us. Finally, there’s an additional 24-hour period for Hannaford to send the purchased cards to your account.
Zeffy is our partner. They are a fundraising platform that allows non-profits to collect donations without any transaction fees. Moreover, we encourage you to tell your community about them so they remember to support Zeffy during checkout!
