Best pickup spots on Cornell's campus for a club fundraiser
A good pickup spot is easy to find, easy to reach and has room for a short line. Here is how to think about the main areas of the Ithaca campus.
Money never touches Cornell Craves. Students pay the club directly over Venmo or Zelle, and there is no commission or fee.
Areas to consider
Engineering Quad
High traffic on weekdays and a natural home for engineering clubs and project teams.
Central Campus
Busy between classes and close to many academic buildings and libraries.
North and West Campus
Best for evening pickups, since many first-year and sophomore students live there.
Collegetown
Good for evening and weekend pickups near where upperclass students live.
Rules to check
Cornell Dining locations allow outreach tables but no sales at them, and the request goes to [email protected] at least a week ahead. Some outdoor spaces must be registered in 25Live. Confirm what applies to your plan before you announce it.
Show it on the map
Cornell Craves lists each pickup with its type, such as walk-up, table or delivery, and shows it on the campus map so students can find it.
Frequently asked questions
Where should my club hold a fundraiser pickup at Cornell?
Pick a visible, easy-to-reach spot near your buyers, such as the Engineering Quad, Central Campus, North or West Campus or Collegetown, and confirm any reservation or approval you need.
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.
