Del's Popcorn Shop, a beloved local institution in Central Illinois, is revolutionizing its approach to community support with the launch of a new virtual fundraising platform. For over 20 years, Del's has been a cornerstone of local fundraising efforts, traditionally offering products like caramel apples and peanut brittle for sale at concession stands and events. Now, in response to the evolving needs of the community and the increasing demand for convenience, Del's is taking its fundraising efforts online.
The new virtual fundraising platform is designed to make it easier than ever for organizations, teams, schools, and non-profits to raise money by selling Del's Popcorn products. This innovative approach eliminates the need for participants to handle cash, manage inventory, or coordinate product distribution. Instead, all orders are placed online, and products are shipped directly to customers or made available for pick-up at a local Del's Popcorn Shop location.
"We're excited to launch this new platform and bring our fundraising efforts into the digital age," said Zach Jacobs, Fundraising Lead at Del's Popcorn Shop. "Our goal has always been to support our community, and we believe this new approach will make it even easier for organizations to raise the funds they need."
The virtual fundraising platform offers a wide range of Del's Popcorn products, including their famous caramel corn, cheese popcorn, and a variety of gourmet flavors. Participants can create a customized fundraising page, share it with their network via social media and email, and track their progress in real-time.
One of the key benefits of the virtual fundraising platform is its flexibility. Organizations can launch a fundraiser at any time, without the constraints of scheduling events or coordinating volunteers. This is particularly advantageous for schools and sports teams, which often have busy schedules and limited resources. Additionally, the platform allows for broader reach, enabling supporters from outside the local area to contribute to the cause.
The launch of the virtual fundraising platform comes at a time when many organizations are seeking new ways to engage supporters and raise funds. Del's Popcorn Shop recognized this trend and invested in developing a platform that meets the needs of today's fundraisers. Fast and Contact Free.
"We've always been committed to supporting our community, and this new platform is a natural extension of that commitment," Jacobs said. "We believe it will make a significant impact and help organizations achieve their fundraising goals more efficiently."
The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. Local schools, sports teams, and non-profits have already begun to sign up for the virtual fundraising platform, eager to take advantage of its convenience and effectiveness.
As Del's Popcorn Shop continues to innovate and adapt to the changing landscape of fundraising, it remains dedicated to its mission of supporting the Decatur community. The launch of the virtual fundraising platform marks a new chapter in the shop's long history of giving back, and it promises to make a lasting impact on the organizations it serves.
