Donating by Dining

It’s the latest craze in easy fundraising idea’s that benefits the restaurants, the local nonprofits and makes it easy to give in tough economic times. A charity partners with an area eatery to promote guests to patronize a business on a certain day and in return for using their contact list to drive traffic in, the restaurant will make a donation to the nonprofit.
