OurCauze, the Turnkey Fundraiser for Nonprofits
We know you're passionate about making the world a better place! That's why we created OurCauze—a supplemental fundraising program for nonprofit organizations. OurCauze can help you meet your organization's fundraising goals, whether you need funding for a one-time project or want to establish an additional income stream.
OurCauze is a supplemental turnkey fundraiser that allows your supporters to direct money they're already spending at Starbucks to your organization instead. We make the setup process quick and easy—and once your application is accepted (please see our Application Criteria), we do nearly all the work for you! You decide whether to upload your e-mail contacts (and let us send your customized communications in a timely manner) or to send the communications yourself (with a link to your customized OurCauze Web page). Either way, your supporters will enter our virtual Coffee Shop, and with every purchase your account will receive:
- 33% of every initial purchase (at least $8/order)
- 25% of all repeat purchases ($6/order)
- Monthly checks mailed throughout the campaign term
- Residual income of 25% of post-campaign purchases (for 2 years), when your Cauze is chosen
- Quarterly checks as people continue to order, post-campaign
Consider the fundraising potential based on a one-time minimum purchase of two bags at $12 each:
An organization with a contact base of 5,000:
| 5% response rate |
250 orders |
$2,000 raised |
| 10% response rate |
500 orders |
$4,000 raised |
| 15% response rate |
750 orders |
$6,000 raised |
|
An organization with a contact base of 100,000:
| 5% response rate |
5,000 orders |
$40,000 raised |
| 10% response rate |
10,000 orders |
$80,000 raised |
| 15% response rate |
15,000 orders |
$120,000 raised |
|
The actual amount you receive could increase significantly with any of the following factors:
- Orders larger than the two-bag minimum
- Residual income based on repeat purchases
- Your supporters spread the word to their friends—opening a whole new support base
Additionally, we will provide you and your supporters with the following services:
- Secure and safe e-mail handling
- Easy four step sign-up wizard
- Personalized OurCauze Web page where your supporters will discover how to help
- Customized e-mail templates for your contact base—to launch your campaign, guide supporters through the process, and say "thank you" upon completion
- Administration Web page to track sales and benchmarks
- Weekly update e-mails sent to you with real-time statistics and progress
- Two bags of Cauzal Coffee at our "taster's price" ($8 savings) so you can personally endorse the product
- Orders shipped directly to the purchaser
- Professional customer service to assist your supporters
- Confidence in the Cauzal brand, product, and vision
At Cauzal Coffee we believe that coffee should taste great and do great things. People get excited when they discover that their coffee purchase can help change the world! That's why, with Cauzal, every sip matters.
