1. Only applications submitted through the website will be considered. No in-person or direct email applications will be accepted.
2. Once your application is approved, you must provide a W9 or nonprofit in good standing status with the Secretary of State’s office of South Carolina. No checks will be written to any for-profit business or any individual.
3. Must use the Village Idiot Pizza logo in all materials for promotion of the event. A logo will be provided upon request. Must tag Village Idiot Pizza in all social media promotion of the event. Village Idiot will also share and tag the event the week leading up to the event.
4. Must have representation at the restaurant for the majority of the event.
5. Social media engagement from you is encouraged. Groups with a significant number of attendees that either geotag their location or tag our social media accounts during the event will be considered for larger contributions.
6. Must meet a minimum $3000 gross sales to be eligible for any contribution.
7. Contributions will be calculated as follows:
All menu sales collected will be calculated by using the evening’s net sales (gross sales not including tax LESS: 1. food cost percentage (30%), 2. delivery and third party (Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash) totals, 3. any house tabs for the night (comp drinks), and 4. gift certificates redeemed). A percentage of that net number will be donated directly to the organization’s charity.
8. A minimum of 10% will be donated on all net sales. An additional 5% will be given per $500 of additional sales above the minimum. Groups that cannot meet the minimum will not be given priority on dates requested in the future but may be given consideration to book another event and combine sales of both events. This is at the Village Idiot’s discretion.
9. In order to receive your contribution, you must email [email protected] after the event to determine check pickup time. It could take up to two weeks to process from the time you request the numbers.
**IMPORTANT: checks are not automatically cut; it is your responsibility to request your potential contribution. There is a 60-day deadline to request for donations.
10. We will only book one event per semester that benefits the same charity, class, etc. It will be on a first-come first-served basis and at the discretion of the Village Idiot. We reserve the right to give priority to the organizations raising money for children’s charities and USC club teams as that is the focus of Village Idiot’s fundraising.
11. Event time will be from 4 pm – Close. All sales during that time will count.
12. We reserve the right to cancel or move any percent night in the face of unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather, sporting events, or university-related conflicts.
