Collegetown fundraisers for Cornell clubs
Collegetown is where a large share of Cornell students live, eat and meet. A pickup that is easy to reach from there gets more orders collected and fewer no-shows.
Money never touches Cornell Craves. Students pay the club directly over Venmo or Zelle, and there is no commission or fee.
Why Collegetown works
Students walk through it between classes, apartments and study spots, so a pickup nearby fits into their day. Evening pickups suit students who are heading home.
Planning a pickup near Collegetown
Choose a visible, sheltered spot
Weather in Ithaca changes fast. Pick a spot where a line can wait comfortably.
Check space rules
Some spaces need a reservation, and Cornell has separate rules for tabling in dining locations.
List the exact place and window
On Cornell Craves the listing shows the pickup place and time slots, and the campus map shows every live pickup.
Keep it walkable
Most buyers pick up on foot. A short, clear handoff beats a long wait in the cold.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hold a club fundraiser pickup in Collegetown?
Clubs choose their own pickup spots and list them on Cornell Craves. Check whether your space needs a reservation and that your plan meets Cornell's fundraising rules.
Does Cornell Craves take a cut of the money?
No. Students pay the club directly through Venmo or Zelle. Cornell Craves never handles or holds the money and takes no fee.
Who can use Cornell Craves?
Clubs must be legitimate Cornell student organizations, and new clubs are reviewed before their first drop goes live. Ordering is for current Cornell students with an @cornell.edu Google account. Cornell Craves is an independent student project and is not run or endorsed by Cornell University. It does not replace any Cornell approval, and each club stays responsible for following university and county rules.
