Applying is easy. The first step is to confirm what type of non-profit organization you are. This will determine what information is needed to apply. 501(c)3 organizations are recognized by the government as tax exempt under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore they are not taxed for any donations earned. Please note, there are many types of non-profit organizations that do not have this status. You can confirm your organization’s status on the IRS website: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/

When you make your reservation online, the calendar will show available dates at your selected Rubio’s location. We suggest Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings between 4-8 pm.

Codes cannot be added after payment has been processed. Our Team is not required to ask attendees if they are part of the fundraiser. Only the flyer provided by Rubio’s in your fundraiser dashboard will be accepted.
Unfortunately, no other rewards or coupons can be applied to the order. If you do not use the fundraiser coupon code at checkout, your order will not be applied towards the fundraiser.

If they answer “yes” to both questions, gather 3-5 receipts from your attendees and contact Rubio’s Guest Services at https://www.rubios.com/contact-us. A member of the Rubio’s Team will follow up to investigate further.
If you want to host a fundraiser for the same organization, go to your fundraiser account dashboard at www.rubios.com/fundraisers.
