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!

What Our Clients Have To Say

St. Anthony School, Manchester, NH

“In this difficult economy, some of our families are able to stay at our school because of the credits they accumulate. In our promotion of this program, we remind parents that purchasing Hannaford cards is NOT a fundraiser because they are using the cards for something they already buy.”

Cape Elizabeth High School Parent Association, Cape Elizabeth, ME

“The Hannaford Gift Card Program has given our organization a great financial boost, particularly appreciated during these difficult economic and, therefore, fundraising times! It is attractive to our parent membership and has been easy and flexible for us to maintain.”

Cornerspring Montessori School, Belfast, ME

“The Hannaford program is an easy way for parents to take the opportunity to get involved in fundraising for their child’s school with little effort. It is easy, convenient and raised us over $4,300 in our last school year. The potential is huge if people just try it.”

Northern Vermont Ballet Company, St. Albans, VT

“Hannaford’s fundraising program is a great way to raise funds doing what you would do anyway — shop! It shows our families’ commitment to give back to the community. Our homeschool group has had great success with it. A little bit of organizational effort can yield big ongoing funds for your group!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my organization earn?

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!

How does the exchange of funds work exactly?

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.

Didn’t this program used to run differently?

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.

How can I let my community know about this?

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.

Can only certain organizations use this?

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.

How will my community receive the gift cards?

We will email the cards to your community members via the email they provide us.

How does an electronic gift card work?

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.

Why does it take a week to receive the gift cards?

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.

What is Zeffy?

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!
