Make the Most of Terri Lynn Recipes (and Your Own!)
1. Print Recipes from TerriLynn.com
If you’re hosting an in-person event, it’s a great time to hand out hard-copy recipes. Visit our recipe page for the full line-up of dishes to bake, create, and enjoy. Take a screenshot of the page, or select a recipe’s text and then copy and paste it into a document of your own for printing. If you’re handy with QR codes, you can also add them to printouts and send anyone who scans them straight to our easily-accessible recipe pages.
Make it personal by trying your hand at some of our scrumptious recipes, so you can make your own recommendations! And if you have culinary creators in your group, add their special recipes to the print-out mix as well.

2. Share recipe links in emails to supporters
Linking to recipes on the Terri Lynn website is easy in your social media posts and emails. Simply visit one (or more) of our recipe pages, copy the link, and add it to your message.
Want to keep your mailing list engaged leading up to your big fundraising event? Drop a new recipe in your email each week to get their imaginations rolling, so they’ll be ready to purchase ingredients and support your cause when it’s time for your big event.
Bonus: If you’re using our Online Store program, you can include recipe links in emails and a link to your Online Store where your supporters can purchase ingredients directly from you.
Try your hand at emailing a themed recipe series! You’ll keep your audience wanting more, and stay top-of-mind when they’re planning menus for holidays and gatherings (or even just lazy Sunday mornings).
Theme Idea: Brunch
Theme Idea: Pecans
Theme Idea: Picnic Time
3. Get recipes from community members, too
Does everyone in your neighborhood love Jen’s holiday dip? Or Chris’s family cookies? Personalize your fundraiser with recipes from community members! Get local stars to submit their dishes made with ingredients from your fundraiser, and then have bags and order forms on hand so your supporters can try the recipes at home.
Here are some other ideas for gathering new recipes to share:
Pick one ingredient, and encourage your local bakers and chefs get creative
Pick a themed dish for recipe submissions, like dips, desserts, or snacks
Ask your organizers and volunteers to each submit a recipe for your email newsletter
Pick a recipe from TerriLynn.com and ask participants to put their own unique spin on it!
4. Host a recipe contest
Play to your supporters’ competitive sides with a hosted contest featuring Terri Lynn premium ingredients. People in your community can pay to either enter the contest, or to try the delicious results. You may also want to pair a contest with a Bake Sale event where participants sell their goods and your fundraising group benefits from the proceeds.
When you choose the winning recipe, send it our way. You just may find your fundraising group and delicious dish featured on our website and in our monthly newsletter!
5. Use recipes to host your own event
Food focused fundraisers invite your supporters to eat for a cause. Host an event where the food is provided by your fundraising group, and participants pay an entrance fee to join the fun. Here are some festive ideas:
Tea Time with Apple Walnut Mini Pies and Deluxe Butterscotch Nut Bars
Bingo with Easy Ranch Roasted Nuts
Ice Cream Social with Pumpkin Spice Pecan Ice Cream and Pecan Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Hot Chocolate Bar with Chocolate Covered Nutty Pretzels
Not only can you raise funds by selling food you prepare with Terri Lynn ingredients, you can also have bags on hand so people can purchase their own nuts, snacks and confections on their way out the door!
Pro tip: with our Online Store program, you can direct your supporters to an online store where they can purchase ingredients and support your cause any time, 24/7!
