Why Wine Fundraising Works

1. Easy to Organize

You share the wine link and promo code with your membership to purchase wine, and we do the rest!

2. Support Local

Your fundraising efforts help support Niagara wines crafted right here in Ontario.

3. Memorable Experiences

The parents of your sports league athletes, dance team, cheer team, or other group will be delighted to support their child's ambitions by raising a glass of Niagara VQA wine from Sue-Ann Staff.

How Our Wine Fundraising Program Works

1. Apply

Tell us about your organization and fundraising goals! Contact us by e-mail at info@sue-annstaff.com and tell us:

• Your organization's name, address and what you do
• Your fundraising goal (new equipment, to attend a tournament, etc.)
• The ideal start and end dates of your fundraising campaign

2. Promote Your Campaign

If accepted, Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery will provide you with a special promo code to share with your constituents as well as a link to our online wine portfolio. Your supporters will be able to purchase any wine or service at full retail price, using this promo code to identify their transaction as associated with your fundraiser. The wine orders will be packed here at the winery with the purchaser's name on the order.

At the end of your fundraising campaign period, you must arrange a date to pick up all the orders at once. Your organization is 100% responsible for picking up all wine orders and distributing them to purchasers. Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery will not ship wine purchased as part of a fundraising event.

3. Raise Funds

Once all transactions are complete, funds are e-transferred to your organization. The value transferred is 20% of the retail price before taxes and bottle deposit.

Ex: Baco Noir $19.95 − $0.20 bottle deposit − $2.27 HST = $17.48 × 20% = $3.50 per bottle

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can participate?

Any charitable organization or group in Ontario. Especially suitable for sports organizations, competitive teams, and arts organizations. Sue-Ann Staff Estate reserves the right to pre-approve all fundraising. Our decision is final and completely at our discretion.

Is there a minimum order?

No — whether your constituents purchase 1 bottle or 1,000 bottles, there is no minimum order. The more they buy, the more money is contributed to your organization.

Can schools use the program?

Yes, but given that the root of this fundraising opportunity is the sale of alcohol, they may not want to.

Is fundraising available across Ontario?

Yes, but remember that wine orders must be picked up from the winery in Niagara — we do not ship orders associated with fundraising campaigns. Organizations outside of easy driving distance from the winery will have to arrange for pick up of all orders at once.

How are proceeds distributed?

Once all transactions are complete, funds will be e-transferred to your organization. The value transferred is 20% of the retail price before taxes and bottle deposit.

What wines are available?

All wines currently available for purchase are eligible for fundraising campaigns.

How long do fundraisers run?

You define the campaign period. Normally 3–6 weeks is sufficient.
