Community Fundraising
🍲 Dine & Donate 🍦
Partner with Darn Good Soup & Chocolate Moose to raise funds for your organization.
What is Dine & Donate?
Dine & Donate is our community fundraising program that allows local organizations to raise money while treating their supporters to delicious soup and ice cream. It's a win-win: your supporters enjoy a great meal and dessert, and your organization receives a generous percentage of the sales.
We prioritize partnerships with local schools, youth sports teams, fraternities & sororities, registered non-profits, and community groups with a clear charitable mission.
Contact us to discuss if your organization is a good fit.
How It Works
Our Dine & Donate program is simple and straightforward:
of sales when customers mention your organization
- • Available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays
- • Customers show your flyer or mention your fundraiser when ordering
- • Our staff tracks sales with receipts throughout the day
- • Your organization receives 20% of those specific sales
What to Expect
Most organizations bring 40 to 60 supporters, generating approximately $500 to $720 in sales and $100 to $145 in donations. The more people you bring, the more you raise!
Your Responsibilities
Promotion is Key to Success!
The more you promote, the more you raise. Here's what we ask:
- Social Media: Share the event on your organization's social media channels
- Email/Newsletter: Notify your members, parents, and supporters
- Flyers: Create and distribute promotional materials (we'll review and approve)
- Word of Mouth: Encourage your members to spread the word
Optional: Volunteer Shifts
Some organizations choose to have members work short shifts during their event. This approach has proven effective for sports teams and youth groups, as it:
- • Ensures strong turnout (families come to support while kids are "working")
- • Creates a fun, team-building experience
- • Increases visibility and drives additional sales
Note: Volunteer participation is completely optional and we'll work with you to determine what makes sense for your organization.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can we schedule a Dine & Donate?
We offer Dine & Donate events on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays.
Can we promote this ourselves or do you promote it?
Your organization is responsible for promotion. While we support successful events (and may share on social media for affiliated organizations), the promotional effort should come from your group. The more you promote, the more you raise!
What locations participate?
Currently, Dine & Donate events are available at our Bloomington location featuring both Darn Good Soup and Chocolate Moose. Sales from both Darn Good Soup and Chocolate Moose count toward your fundraiser total.
How long after the event do we receive our donation?
We process donations regularly and will send your check within 1 to 2 weeks following your event.
Does the 20% include tax and tips?
The 20% is calculated on food and drink sales before tax. Tips go to our staff and aren't included.
Do online or DoorDash orders count?
No. Only in-store orders where the customer shows your flyer or mentions your fundraiser at the counter count toward your total.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking at least 3 weeks out. That gives you time to get your flyer approved and give your supporters 2 to 3 weeks notice.
