If you’re exploring restaurant fundraising ideas, Crumbl Cookies offers a simple way to raise money for schools, teams, and nonprofits. With their famous rotating cookie flavors and strong community appeal, hosting a fundraiser can be both fun and effective.
Here’s how Crumbl Cookies fundraising works, who can participate, and how to get started.
What Is a Crumbl Cookies Fundraiser?
Crumbl Cookies fundraisers are limited to:
- Dine to Donate events
- Donation requests
Unlike some other chains, Crumbl does not typically allow product resale or gift card fundraising. Each location is individually owned, so fundraising opportunities are decided by the local store manager.
Who Can Start a Crumbl Cookies Fundraiser?
There are no corporate-wide eligibility rules—it’s up to each shop owner. That said, many locations welcome requests from:
- Schools (elementary through college)
- Sports teams and booster clubs
- Libraries and community centers
- Nonprofits and local organizations
The best way to confirm eligibility is by contacting your nearest Crumbl store directly.
How Does a Crumbl Cookies Fundraiser Work?
Dine to Donate
Host an event at a Crumbl location on a set day and time. Supporters either enter a code at checkout or tell the cashier they’re part of your fundraiser.
- Earnings: Typically 15% of supporter purchases
- Simplicity: No order forms, no handling money—just direct sales credited to your group
After the event, Crumbl tallies sales and sends your organization a check.
Donation Request
Groups can also request food or cash donations. Approval is at the discretion of the store owner.
- Best chance of success: High-attendance events or organizations with strong visibility (large audiences, social media, email lists)
- How to apply: Contact the store directly or submit a request through TheShareWay (about a 29% approval rate reported)

Is Crumbl Cookies Fundraising Right for You?
Crumbl Cookies fundraisers are simple, low-effort, and community-friendly. They may be a good fit if:
- You want a quick, easy event with minimal setup
- Your supporters already love Crumbl’s rotating cookie menu
