Señor Chef fundraising project
Thanks to Señor Chef, Ina Paarman’s Kitchen and other suppliers working together, your school can participate in our unique fundraising projects.
About the Project:
Señor Chef presents a one-of-a-kind fundraising opportunity for schools, offering various everyday household products at retail prices to support your school’s initiatives. You could easily meet your school’s fundraising objectives for the whole year in a two-week campaign.
It is so easy!
All you have to do is sell the products on the provided brochures and receive 25% commission on total sales.
There is no cost involved for a school to participate. Señor Chef will provide the school with all the brochures, order forms, colour posters and other information to run a well organised campaign.
At Señor Chef, we understand that parents may not always have extra funds for indulgences. That’s why we offer a wide range of everyday household products of superior quality and value, ensuring essential items are accessible to all.
Our diverse product selection for these projects includes:
For these fundraisers we partner with top quality trusted brands such as:

Unbelievable Achievements
THE TRUE STORY OF 2 SCHOOLS IN UPINGTON:
Over the past 21 years Fanie Malan Preparatory School and Op die Voorpos Primary School in Upington did our fundraising projects every single year! They both did sales of more than R3,35 Million each, and each earned more than R830 000 in commission. This for 2 adjacent schools in Upington. What a testimonial for what is possible for any school.
How it works
CHOOSE FROM OUR TWO PROJECTS:
Choose from Project A or Project B, each offering a distinct selection of products for sale. With projects running for two weeks, schools can achieve their fundraising goals efficiently and effectively.
Project A is available in terms 1, 2 or 3, whereas Project B (New Express Project) is only available in term 3. Schools can participate in one or both projects yearly. Only one project can be done per term, and projects can’t run in consecutive terms. Contact us to find out more.

Typical products and order examples:
– Ina Paarman’s Coat & Cook Sauce R40
– Señor Chef Braai Collection R130
– Biggi Microwave Popcorn R21
– Señor Chef Mild Curry R29
– Safari Berry Chews 4x32g R42
– Walker Bay Spice Big Salt Chrystal Grinder 360g R57
TOTAL – R319
Let’s take an average size school with 600 pupils.
If each pupil only gets an order of R319 at their own home, the total turnover is already R191,400. From this, the school gets R191,400 x 25% = R47,850.
BUT WAIT: Each pupil receives 5 order forms. Imagine the turnover if each pupil returns all 5 completed order forms. A school can earn a commission of far more than R230,000 in 2 weeks!
