How much will my organization earn?

It is up for you! But the more gift cards your school community purchases, the more you earn. For example, if 200 parents purchase $200 of Hannaford gift cards each month (well below a normal family’s monthly grocery bill!), your school would earn $1600 every month!

How does the exchange of funds work exactly?

First, your community will purchase cards in the Zeffy platform via credit card, ACH, Apple Pay, etc. with no fees.

Then, Zeffy will verify the funds are not fraudulent and transfer those funds that have been cleared to your account every Monday.

Every Wednesday, TEG will send you an invoice for 96% of the total amount due the following Monday. 

Please note TEG will not send gift cards to community members until it receives funds from you.

Didn’t this program used to run differently?

Previously, schools managed the program independently. However, they faced administrative challenges like collecting funds and addressing purchasing issues. Dealing with gift card distribution problems added to this burden. But, we’ve eliminated these complications. Now, we ensure a smoother and more convenient experience for you.

How can I let my community know about this?

First, we will help! Specifically, we will:

1. Provide marketing materials for you each month (email newsletters, flyers, etc.). 

2. After, we will email your community members who have purchased before reminding them to purchase again every month

Also, we encourage you to include the custom platform link we create for you in all newsletters. In addition, we will provide you a QR code so you can advertise the program at events such as parent-teacher conferences, PTO meetings, sports games, etc.

Can only certain organizations use this?

Any non-profit can take advantage of this program; there is no group too large or too small. All you need is a legal organization name, bank account, and Federal Tax ID.

How will my community receive the gift cards?

We will email the cards to your community members via the email they provide us.

What is The Endurance Group’s role in Hannaford’s fundraising program?

The Endurance Group (TEG), a local family-owned, Maine business, has collaborated with Hannaford since 2009 to facilitate this bulk gift card program designed for non-profit organizations. TEG acts as the intermediary that connects non-profits with Hannaford, enabling them to participate in a fundraising opportunity that leverages the sale of Hannaford gift cards. They use the domain hannafordfundraising.com for branding purposes.

How does an electronic gift card work?

First, if you are in the store, you can show the card to the cashier and scan it. Otherwise, if you purchase online as a “Hannaford To Go” order, you can add the gift card number.

Why does it take a week to receive the gift cards?

Our partner, Zeffy, employs cutting-edge fraud detection technology to verify the legitimacy of all funds used for purchasing Hannaford cards.

This thorough process typically takes around 3 days to complete. Subsequently, it takes approximately 24 hours for you to transfer the funds to us. Finally, there’s an additional 24-hour period for Hannaford to send the purchased cards to your account.

What is Zeffy?
