How Local Businesses Can Boost Fundraisers With Digital Vouchers

Every school, club and community group in New Zealand is looking for the same thing: a fundraiser that sells. And there's a product they can't create themselves — your goods and services.

When a local business offers a digital voucher through a fundraising platform, everyone wins. The fundraiser gets something valuable to sell. The supporter gets a deal they'd buy anyway. And the business gets new customers, often from a part of the community that had never walked through the door.

Why vouchers are perfect for fundraisers

Vouchers don't require stock, storage or delivery. A fundraiser can sell hundreds of them without handling a single product. That's why they've become the go-to for schools and sports clubs — and why businesses that offer them become local heroes almost overnight.

What's in it for your business

• New customers. Every voucher sold is a person who has committed to visit you. Many will come back.
• Free marketing. Your business is promoted to the fundraiser's whole community — parents, players, supporters.
• Genuine community support. Helping a school trip or a club's new kit is visible, authentic goodwill.
• No sales, no cost. You're not paying listing fees or subscriptions. You only pay a small platform fee on sales that actually happen.

How it works

You set the wholesale price of your voucher and choose how much of each sale goes to the fundraiser — a minimum of 10%, or more if you're feeling generous. The fundraiser does the selling; you do what you do best. Payments are processed securely, and you're invoiced automatically for the platform fee.

What sells well

Coffee, meals, haircuts, gym passes, car washes, massage, family activities — anything people buy regularly and would happily buy in advance. A $100 voucher that sends $20 to the local school is an easy yes for most supporters.

A small commitment, a lasting impression

You don't need to offer hundreds of vouchers to make a difference. Even a limited run can give a fundraiser real momentum — and the goodwill it generates tends to last long after the campaign ends.
