Granolala Fundraising

Discounting program for Granolala sales through local school councils and parent/student fundraising efforts.

Pre-ordered with discount

We offer a standard discounted rate for this program which aggregates to 25% of the collected revenue retained for the fundraising program. For each $20 product sold* there is $5 for your fund. Your customer pays $20 for each, same price as our retail stores and online e-commerce.

The fundraising organization agrees to market Granolala products at our normal pricing to their local supporting community. No discounting below the nominal 'list price'. *

We request that the discounting rate we are providing for your fundraising be de-emphasized. Focus on the $20 value to the end supporter rather than the $15 'your cost' or the $5 retaining by the fundraisers.

* Sales Tax Tip: Granolala is zero rated for HST since it is classified as a Breakfast Cereal, which is within the no-tax category for grocery items.
You do not need to charge or collect sales tax on our Granolala products.

Order aggregation

Pre-orders are collected and accumulated by the fundraising group.
The accumulated orders for each Granolala flavour are collated and relayed to Granolala Inc. via your contact person's email address.
Written correspondence via email helps us maintain a record of specifics and follow-up.

Minimum program quantity

is one dozen Granolala product in any combination of flavours. 
Beyond the first dozen the total quantity does not need to be a multiple of twelve.

Marketing support

We can provide Granolala logo graphics and descriptive text content which you can use to promote the sales of Granolala through your fundraiser.
For in-person events and marketing display we can provide sample Granolala products.
We also have tabletop signs, cards and related materials available.
Tell us what you want to do and we will work with you.

Money and order tracking

It is the responsibility of the fund-raising group to collect the money from the pre-orders and keep track of which orders (quantity and flavours) are for which people. We do not need to know who has purchased Granolala through your fundraiser but you should.

We suggest you provide tracking receipts for each pre-order taken and record the orders appropriately. Name, address, phone number, email and order date, what has been ordered and amount paid. We suggest the receipt form also describe what the fundraising is for and a contact name should there be follow-up questions.

Granolala Inc. will be providing the Granolala product and customer support for delivered product. 
We are not providing payment processing for credit or debit cards.
We are not providing direct delivery to individual purchasers through this program.

Payment to Granolala Inc.

Payment for all the pre-ordered Granolala product must be forwarded/sent to Granolala Inc. promptly after the fund-raising outreach has concluded. Net payment is the total headline value of pre-ordered product minus the percentage discount allowed by Granolala Inc. for the fund-raising effort.

Payment to Granolala Inc. can be sent directly via Interac email money transfer, cash or cheque.

Cheque payments must be from someone authorized to do so. Cheque payments will also endure a multi-day delay until the funds have fully settled in our bank account.

Also required is submission of the total quantity of each flavour Granolala product to be fulfilled and subsequently delivered to your pre-order customers. These numbers must match the dollar amount of reported sales.

Aggregate order preparation and delivery

After receipt of the aggregate order we will prepare and deliver the aggregate products to a single location, presumably the school location or an organizer's home or business address. Depending on the scale of the order and our inventory available it may take 1-2 weeks for the Granolala product to be ready for delivery.

Granolala product handling and care

Granolala is a premium granola food product. It must be handled and stored appropriately in clean indoor temperature conditioned areas. No risk of pests, product damage or contamination. 

Transportation and delivery to the end customer should minimize the amount of time the product is in automobiles and/or outdoor condition. No long hours parked in the sun or frozen in wintertime.

Delivery must include direct hand-off to the end customer. Product cannot be left on front porches or other outdoor locations.
We do have Granolala branded bags and boxes that we use for our own deliveries. Contact us about pricing if you require these.

Non-interference with normal Granolala Inc. product sales

* We request that fundraising does not interfere with our normal Granolala retail store partners.
No campaigning outside or near the stores.
No attempts to undercut or redirect existing retail store customers. 
No online sales of Granolala through this program, except directly (for example) informing your local school's parent/supporter mailing list.

If you will be operating an in-person event and wish to offer at-the-table Granolala sales, please contact us. We may be able to offer Granolala product on a consignment basis. The discount and other aspects will vary. We may not be able to provide consignment product, depending on multiple variables.

As an alternative where we cannot offer consignment we may be able to provide Granolala product in a wholesale arrangement, where the product is purchased in advance and then sold at the event.

Unsold product would remain in the hands of the event.
