Pizza fundraiser for college clubs
Pizza is a dependable seller for evening events, study groups and weekend pickups. The key is timing the pickup so it arrives hot.
Money never touches Cornell Craves. Students pay the club directly over Venmo or Zelle, and there is no commission or fee.
How to run it
Sell whole pies or slice boxes
Whole pies suit groups and floors. Slice boxes suit individuals. Offer both if your vendor can.
Set a dinner-time window
Pickup around 5 to 7 p.m. matches when students want food. Keep windows short so pizzas stay hot.
Offer dietary options
Add a cheese or vegetarian option and note common allergens. Cornell Craves lists dietary options on each drop.
Approvals
Ask Cornell Dining whether your setup is acceptable. Food handed out hot from a vendor is a different case from sealed, shelf-stable items, so describe it clearly in your proposal.
Frequently asked questions
How much can a club make from a pizza fundraiser?
It depends on price and cost per pie. Work backward from your goal using profit per pie.
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.
