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.

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.

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.
