Empowering Students ... Connecting Communities

Looking for an easy and effective way to raise funds for your school or organization, while giving students hands-on experience and connecting with your local community? Donut Drive & Thrive is the perfect solution! Hosted by the nonprofit Eat Donuts Stock Schools, this unique fundraising event allows students to step into real-world roles, building entrepreneurial skills and working together to support their school or cause—all with minimal planning and stress.

Donut Drive & Thrive is a fundraising event where students fulfill orders for donuts on the event day, gaining valuable entrepreneurial experience while raising funds for their school or organization. The event, facilitated by Eat Donuts Stock Schools, takes care of the planning and logistics, ensuring that schools can focus on what matters most—connecting with their community and providing students with a meaningful experience.

Community members can pre-order donuts and certificates, or they can place same-day orders during the event. Students handle everything from fulfilling the orders to assisting customers, making this a hands-on opportunity to practice customer service, time management, and teamwork.

1. Pre-Orders: Prior to the event, community members can order donuts or donut certificates. Certificates can be redeemed on the event day for delicious donuts.
2. Same-Day Orders: On the event day, additional orders can be placed in real-time, giving community members more flexibility to get involved and enjoy fresh donuts on the spot.
3. Student Volunteers in Action: On the event day, students run the event, fulfilling orders, assisting customers, and making sure everything runs smoothly. With support from Eat Donuts Stock Schools, students gain practical entrepreneurial experience without the pressure of planning and logistics.
4. Fundraising & Donations: All proceeds from donut sales—both pre-orders and same-day orders—along with any direct donations made during the event, go directly to support your school’s initiatives or chosen causes. This allows your organization to raise much-needed funds with ease and efficiency.
