FAQs

When you host an ice cream social at a Jeni’s scoop shop, we’ll donate 25% of all sales from that shop during the time of your event back to your organization. This includes sales from guests outside your organization (in other words: you don’t need to ask folks to mention your organization at the register!).

We partner with a variety of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations for fundraisers, including schools, university groups, libraries, community centers, youth sports teams, and other organizations supporting causes aligned with our values (e.g., LGBTQ+ empowerment, sustainability, and mental health).


We are unable to host fundraisers for religious organizations, political groups, individual causes, or for-profit organizations.

Ice cream socials can be scheduled Monday through Thursday before 7 p.m., for a maximum of three hours.

Please submit your application at least four weeks prior to your preferred fundraiser date. This will allow our team to review your application and prepare for the event, and give you enough time to spread the word to your community!

A member of our team will get back to you within 24 hours of submitting your application to confirm whether or not your fundraiser is approved.

If you haven’t heard back about your fundraiser application within 24 hours, or if you have a specific question we can help answer, please contact fundraising@jenis.com

When your ice cream social is approved, we’ll provide you with a marketing guide to help bring out as many people as possible to support your organization! This guide includes a suggested promotion timeline as well as sample images and copy templates for emails, social media posts, and more.

Yes! Decorations must be non-offensive and easy to remove, and may not be adhered to the walls, furniture, or ceilings of our scoop shop. Activities must not interfere with the experience of our other guests. Examples of great decorations and activities for your ice cream social include raffles, giveaways, table decorations, and helium balloons tied together with weights. You can begin setting up for your ice cream social 30 minutes prior to the event, and any decorations or other items must be taken down and brought with you at the close of the event. 

Yes! You’ll have the option to work with our team to create a Featured Signature pairing. This is a custom ice cream pairing of up to three flavors, with a special name of your choosing. We’ll feature this pairing as a menu item for folks to order during your fundraiser to help drive awareness of your organization!

You’ll receive an email within 7 business days after your fundraiser to confirm the total funds raised during your event. We’ll then mail a donation check to the address you provide in your fundraiser application. You can expect this check to arrive within 4 weeks of your fundraiser date.
