Steps to Run a Cheese Fundraiser with Meyer Cheese

Here’s how your school or organisation can organise a successful fundraiser with Meyer Cheese:

1. Contact Meyer Cheese for Approval
   Begin by reaching out to Meyer Cheese through the email form below. Let them know you’re interested in running a cheese fundraiser for your school or organisation, and they’ll provide all the necessary information and confirm approval.
2. Plan Your Fundraising Goals
   Decide how much money you’re hoping to raise and what the funds will be used for, such as new equipment, a school trip, or community projects. Having a clear goal helps motivate both the organisers and supporters of your fundraiser.
3. Take Orders
   Once you have approval from Meyer Cheese, start promoting your fundraiser to your school community and beyond. Create a system to take orders from parents, friends, and whānau, and ensure you keep track of the orders as they come in. This can be done through paper forms, emails, or in person.
4. Collect Payments
   Payments can be collected directly by your school or organisation via cash, bank transfer, or cheque. Ensure you have a system in place to record payments and match them to orders for a smooth process.
5. Submit Your Final Order
   Once all the orders have been gathered and payments received, submit your final order to Meyer Cheese. Since there are no upfront costs, you won’t need to pay until after the delivery of the cheese.
6. Distribute the Cheese and Settle the Invoice
   When the cheese is delivered, distribute it to your supporters and enjoy the positive feedback! Meyer Cheese will then send an invoice for the wholesale amount, and your school keeps the profits from the mark-up.
