There's something comforting about a Dad's Pie. Since 1981, this trusted New Zealand brand has been crafting pies that families know and love-made with locally sourced meat, free from GMOs, MSG, and artificial additives. When you offer Dad's Pies in your fundraiser, you're not just selling a product. You're offering quality, trust, and the kind of comfort food that brings people together.

Whether your supporters are meat lovers, vegetarians, vegans, or gluten-free, Dad's Pies has something for everyone. That inclusivity, combined with their commitment to natural ingredients, makes this fundraiser appealing to a wide range of supporters who care about what goes into their food.

Why Dad's Pies Build Trust and Sales

  • Four Decades of Quality: Since 1981, Dad's Pies has been a staple in New Zealand homes. That longevity speaks to consistent quality and trust that supporters recognise immediately.
  • Natural Ingredients: Made without GMOs, MSG, artificial colours, or preservatives, these pies appeal to health-conscious families who want quality they can feel good about.
  • Inclusive Options: With vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available, Dad's Pies ensures everyone can participate, maximising your potential supporter base.
  • Local Pride: Made with New Zealand-sourced meat and ingredients, these pies support local producers while helping your cause-a double win that resonates with supporters.

2. Set Your Goal

What will these funds achieve? Be specific: new playground equipment, school camp scholarships, sports uniforms, or community improvements. Clear goals motivate supporters and increase generosity.

3. Curate Your Selection

Choose from Dad's Pies' range, ensuring you offer options for different dietary needs. Include classic meat pies, vegan options, vegetarian choices, and gluten-free varieties. Variety maximises sales by appealing to everyone.

4. Launch with Enthusiasm

Promote through multiple channels: school newsletters, social media, community noticeboards, and word of mouth. Highlight the natural ingredients, the local sourcing, and the dietary inclusivity. Make it clear why Dad's Pies are a quality choice.

5. Streamline Order Collection

Set up clear systems for collecting orders and payments. Accept cash, bank transfers, and cheques to accommodate everyone. Keep meticulous records of all orders and payments to ensure smooth distribution.

6. Finalise Efficiently

Once orders are complete, submit your final order to Dad's Pies. They'll prepare your pies for delivery within 7-14 days. Use this time to organise your distribution strategy and recruit volunteers.

7. Distribute with Care

When the pies arrive, organise a collection day or arrange deliveries. Have volunteers ready to help, and ensure proper handling to maintain quality. Consider offering delivery for larger orders to increase convenience.

Pro Tips for Maximum Success

  • Highlight the Quality Story: Emphasise the natural ingredients, local sourcing, and four decades of trust. Quality stories justify premium pricing and create emotional connection.
  • Showcase Dietary Options: Make it clear that everyone can participate. Highlight vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options prominently to attract diverse supporters.
  • Create Sample Displays: If possible, have sample pies available at school events so supporters can see and taste the quality. Visual proof drives sales.
  • Offer Variety Packs: Create bundles that include different flavours or dietary options. Variety packs increase average order size and make decision-making easier.
  • Leverage Local Pride: Emphasise the New Zealand-made aspect and support for local producers. Local pride resonates strongly with many supporters.
  • Create Urgency: Set clear order deadlines and remind supporters regularly. Limited-time opportunities create action and prevent procrastination.

Why Pie Fundraisers Succeed

Pie fundraisers work because they offer genuine value. Your supporters aren't just donating-they're purchasing quality products they'll use and enjoy. The natural ingredients, dietary inclusivity, and trusted brand name create a compelling proposition that makes selling easier and increases average order values.
