School Fundraisers with United Dumplings
United Dumplings partners with schools and PTAs to create fundraisers that are fun, engaging, and meaningful for families—while making it easy to raise real funds. We believe food is one of the best ways to bring a school community together, and our fundraising programs are designed to be flexible, inclusive, and impactful.
1. Dumpling-Making Classes
We offer hands-on dumpling-making classes that schools can use as a fundraising opportunity. United Dumplings provides the class at a $20 per person cost, and the PTA is free to set the ticket price at any level to raise funds for their school. These classes are interactive, educational, and great for students, parents, and families to learn together while supporting a good cause.
2. Dine-Out Fundraiser Nights
PTAs can host a dedicated dinner night at United Dumplings, inviting families and supporters to dine together. For these events, United Dumplings contributes 10% of the evening’s proceeds back to the school. It’s an easy, low-lift way to raise funds while strengthening community connections over a shared meal.
3. Private Events & Fundraiser Catering
For larger or more customized fundraisers, United Dumplings can organize private events, such as weekend brunches, on-site gatherings, or catered school events. Whether it’s a ticketed fundraiser, a school celebration, or a community gathering, we work with PTAs to design an experience that fits their goals and fundraising needs.
