Fundraisers

Sell coffee for your cause.
Every bag still feeds a cat.

Rescues, schools, teams, churches and fire companies raise money selling Kitty Town Coffee. Your supporters get coffee they were going to buy anyway, your group keeps real money on every bag, and every bag still funds seven shelter-cat meals.

No upfront cost, and you don’t need to be a 501(c)(3).

Pick your style

Two ways to run it.

The classic sale is the church hoagie sale of coffee: order forms, one delivery, the most money per bag. The online fundraiser is a link you share and a check we send.

Order forms & a delivery day

The classic sale

You sell

with our catalog and order forms, at the same price as our website, so there is no fundraiser markup for your supporters.

You collect

orders and payment from your supporters, the way a sub sale works. We invoice your group at fundraiser pricing. You pay us by credit card.

We ship

everything in one box, shipped within 3 days of your order and roasted the day it leaves. You hand out the bags.

You keep

35% of every sale, and it never leaves your hands. There is no check to wait on.

That is $5.93 of every $16.95 bag.

Good for: groups with a built-in crowd; congregations, teams, shelter volunteers, the office.

Maybe not: if nobody has a free afternoon to hand out coffee.

Share a link. We do the rest.

The online fundraiser

You share

a link that belongs to your group; text it, email it, post it. Supporters anywhere in the country can pitch in.

They order

on kittytowncoffee.com with 5% off through your link, a small thank-you that also marks the order as yours. We roast, pack and ship straight to their door.

You keep

15% of every sale made through your link, paid to your group when the fundraiser ends. Two to three weeks of selling works best.

You never touch

money, coffee, or a spreadsheet. We handle everything but getting your supporters on board.

That is about $2.54 of every $16.95 bag.

Good for: far-flung supporters, small crews, and anyone who has run out of afternoons.

Maybe not: the per-bag take is well below the classic sale (15% vs 35%), and supporters pay shipping under $35.

The math

One bag, split honestly.

Fundraising catalogs love vague percentages. Here is exactly where the price of a bag goes when a supporter buys from your classic sale.

Your group keeps: collected by you, kept by you, on delivery day.

Shelter cats still get: the same donation every bag on this site funds.

We keep the rest: it pays for green coffee, roasting, bags and the lights in Lebanon, PA.

12 oz bags, pods and teas all pay your group 35%; 2 lb bags pay 30% and 5 lb bags 25%. Flavoring syrups sit this one out; they ship heavy, and one leak can ruin a box of coffee. The full sheet comes in your organizer packet.

What would your sale raise?

560 mealsfor shelter cats

80 bags, at classic-sale pricing. A bag placed with family, coworkers and neighbors is an easy ask; it is coffee.

The part no other fundraiser has

Your fundraiser is already a donation.

Pizza kits fund your cause. Candy bars fund your cause. A Kitty Town fundraiser funds your cause and a shelter cat’s week of meals, on every single bag; the same 7 meals every bag on this site funds.

We send money, not kibble. Fundraiser donations go to our Rescue of the Month, the same vetted partner every order on this site supports, where a dollar in the general fund stretches further than a bag of food. Your supporters’ one purchase does two good things, and both of them are true.

7 meals · every bag, box & bottle

How we count a meal

For rescues & shelters

Built with rescues in mind.

Any group can run a Kitty Town fundraiser, but the program was designed for animal rescues, and it shows.

The fit

Your supporters already love cats. A bag with a real cat’s face and story on it is the easiest ask in fundraising when the cause is cats too.

The margin

Same as any group: 35% of every sale stays with your rescue, sale after sale. Nobody’s Cats runs one every month.

Go further

Rescues that fundraise well get top billing to be our Rescue of the Month; a month where every donation from every order on this site goes to your rescue.

The meals

Your fundraiser’s own meal donations go to the current Rescue of the Month, a partner we’ve already vetted and is doing great work.

Questions

The things organizers ask us.

Can any organization run one?

Yes. We designed the program with animal shelters in mind, but schools, teams, churches, fire companies, PTOs and community groups run them too. And you don’t need to be a 501(c)(3): a classic sale is simply an order at fundraiser pricing, and the profit is yours to keep.

How much will we make?

Classic sale: your group keeps 35% on 12 oz bags, pods and teas; 30% on 2 lb bags; 25% on 5 lb bags. Flavoring syrups aren’t in the program; they ship heavy, and one leak can ruin a whole box. Online fundraiser: your group receives 15% of every sale made through your link, and your supporters get 5% off.

Either way, every bag still funds seven shelter-cat meals; your supporters’ money does two jobs.

Is there a minimum?

The classic sale has a 12-bag minimum, which one enthusiastic seller can clear alone. If your sale comes up short anyway, call us; we’ll do our best to help your organization regardless. The online fundraiser has no minimum at all.

Who ships what, and when?

Classic sale: your order ships within 3 days, roasted the day it leaves, in one box to your address; your group hands out the bags. Online fundraiser: we ship every order straight to the supporter’s door, and nobody in your group touches a box.

Do we have to handle money?

Classic sale: you collect from your supporters as they order; that is where your profit lives. We invoice your group by card for the fundraiser-priced order. Online fundraiser: never. Supporters pay at checkout and we send your group its share when the fundraiser ends.

How long should we sell for?

Two to three weeks. Short sales with a clear end date raise more than long ones that drift; supporters act when there is a real deadline, and your sellers stay excited. We’ll help you pick dates when you apply.

Do the cat stories come too?

Every bag carries the name, portrait and story of a real cat, told in their family’s own words; fundraiser bags are the same bags. It’s half of why the coffee sells itself once a supporter picks one up.

Start here

Start your fundraiser.

Tell us about your group and we’ll send the organizer packet: catalog, order forms, dates and the per-product profit sheet. A person reads every one of these, and that person is usually Ken.

Drink coffee. Feed cats. Fund your cause.

That’s the whole idea, one bag at a time. Your group gets the money, the cats get the meals, and your supporters get very good coffee.
