Beneficiary Partners
Elevate your impact. Amplify your brand.
At ISF, we believe in the power of community support to drive positive change. Our Beneficiary Programs are designed to forge meaningful connections and offer a unique opportunity for local businesses to align with a cause that matters.
DINE + DONATE
Drive revenue and foster a strong sense of community at your restaurant(s). Donate a portion of proceeds from every food and beverage sale during a specific period of time at one or multiple locations.
MENU MATCH
Offer a special menu item or ongoing promotion that supports kids with cancer. Donate a predetermined percentage of proceeds or a specific dollar amount from each sale at one or multiple locations.
GRAND OPENING OR RIBBON CUTTING PARTNERSHIP
Celebrate an exciting expansion or new business opening by giving back. Donate a percentage of sales, a flat donation amount or a combination of both to reinforce your business’s commitment to its community.
ROUND UP PROGRAM
Encourage customers to donate small amounts of money towards a specific cause. Give customers the option to “round up” their total to the nearest dollar or a specified amount to support kids with cancer. These programs are often integrated into participating businesses’ point-of-sale (POS) systems.
HOST A PRIVATE EVENT
Harness the spirit of holidays or a special occasion to support meaningful causes and make a positive impact. Proceeds from fundraising activities, such as donation drives, silent auctions, raffles or merchandise sales are very effective. Businesses or organizations sponsoring the event may also provide financial support, in-kind donations or volunteer assistance to help execute the event and maximize its impact.

Give the gift of goods, services or experiences that can be offered as auction or raffle prizes. By promoting attractive prizes and creating excitement around a raffle, ISF can maximize participation and generate significant contributions to support charitable initiatives at future events.
