Palmer’s Shop-to-Donate Fundraising Program

At Palmer’s, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us every day. One way we do this is through our Shop-to-Donate Fundraising Program, which helps local clubs, sports teams, and nonprofit organizations raise funds while also enjoying a fun shopping experience.

How it works

Contact Us

Contact us to make sure your organization is a good fit and choose a specific date for your fundraiser. On this chosen day, your supporters can shop at our market as usual.

Spread the word

Share your designated date with friends, family, and the wider community. The bigger the turnout, the bigger the impact for your organization. 

Shop & Support

We will donate a portion of all qualified purchases made that day directly back to your organization. The more people shop, the more you earn. 

Why Shop-to-Donate?

Straightforward & Convenient
Your supporters simply visit the store on your scheduled day and let us know they’re shopping for your fundraiser or use the custom flyer we provide.

Community-Focused
We’re committed to uplifting local groups and fostering a strong sense of community.

Perfect for Many Organizations
Whether you’re a youth sports league, school club, or a nonprofit, our Shop-to-Donate Program provides an easy way to secure funds for the things that matter most to you.
