You also may search for your organization by its official name at www.irs.gov in the “Charities and Non-Profits” section, or call IRS Customer Service at 1-877-829-5500 and provide your tax identification number and organization name.

When can we hold an event?

When you fill in your Reservation Form, please indicate your preferred date. We can only offer one BBQ-4-Bucks Fundraising Event per day. We will confirm with your coordinator once we receive your completed form. We suggest Monday, Wednesday or Thursday.

How does it work?

You publicize your event ahead of time, by handing out flyers in person as well as via email. Let your Facebook friends help you spread the word, too!  Make sure they know to bring in their flyer. Your group brings their flyers with them, and presents them to the cashier when ordering. Participating BBQ-4Bucks guests are required to present a valid Fundraiser flyer with each order to receive credit for the fundraiser. Flyers may not be distributed inside or within 50 feet of our restaurant before or during your event. Thank you for understanding.

How do I cancel my fundraiser?

You may cancel your fundraiser with 48 hours notice of the scheduled event by contacting the Store Manager at the restaurant where you were planning to hold it. We look forward to working with you in the future.

How do I know if my organization is a non-profit?

To find out if your organization is recognized by the government as a non-profit organization or has 501(c)(3) status, please contact your organization. BBQ Republic cannot provide you with this information. You may also search for your organization by its official name at www.irs.gov in the “Charities and Non-Profits” section, or call IRS Customer Service at 1-877-829-5500.

Tips to make your event a big, smashing success:

After you’ve reserved your Fundraiser date, take these steps to create the biggest turnout and largest donation to your cause.

  • Put a flyer in your organization’s newsletter.
  • Announce your BBQ-4-Bucks Fundraiser on your website, and add a link to your downloadable PDF of the flyer.
  • Attach the flyer to an e-mail going out to the family, friends, office, etc.
  • Call your local newspaper. They’re always looking for information on charitable events in the community.
  • Pass out flyers during the large gatherings, group meetings and area sporting events.
  • Announce the fundraiser on the P.A. system at a local event.
  • Most importantly, cast a wide net. Talk to everybody. The more people that come to your Fundraiser, the more BBQ Bucks your group will earn. And don’t worry if everyone  can’t stay for dinner. They can order grub to go, too.
