The community has shaped In-N-Out Burger® since 1948. As part of our Mission/Purpose Statement, we are committed to helping the communities we serve become stronger, safer, and better places to live. We partner with a cross-section of organizations seeking support for their fundraising efforts, including nonprofits and schools within our marketplace.

In-N-Out Burger provides donations in the form of fundraising bundles, including merchandise and meal cards for fundraising raffles or auctions.

When applying for support, please keep in mind our guidelines:

  1. 100% of the proceeds from your fundraising effort, such as raffles and auctions, must go directly back into your organization.

  3. Your application must be submitted at least 60 days in advance of the fundraising event.
  4. Confirm that your organization has not already received a donation from us within the current calendar year, as only one donation is allowed per calendar year.
