Rojo Hospitality Group is now looking for 501 (3) c, Non Profit Organizations for the upcoming Arizona Cardinals season. If you are interested, please contact Sherrie Morgan at (623) 433-7651 or via email at npo@rojohospitality.com.

1. What work would our group be doing if we were to fund raise through Rojo Hospitality's program?
   Rojo Hospitality utilizes volunteers from non-profit organizations to operate concession stands during events. Your group would take “ownership” of a concession stand. What this means is that the group is responsible for the staffing, inventory, money, cleaning, preparing food, selling products, and providing customer service to guests during an event.
   
   
   
2. Does my group need to be identified as a 501 (c) 3 organization?
   

   Yes, this is Rojo Hospitality's requirement. Please go to www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/index.html for additional information.

   
   
   
3. What is the minimum age requirement for a volunteer?
   Volunteers serving alcohol must be 19 years of age.
   At the locations that serve alcohol, groups have to understand and be committed to Rojo and state alcohol policies. All volunteers selling alcohol not only have to be old enough to sell (19 years old and older), but they should personally be comfortable with selling alcohol.
   
   
   
4. Do our volunteers need a Maricopa Food Handlers card?
   Yes, this is a Maricopa County requirement. You can obtain the study guide for this test by going to http://www.maricopa.gov/. A list of locations to take the test is available on this website.
   
   
5. How much money can our group expect to fund raise by working at the University of Phoenix Stadium?
   Our payment structure is commission based on net sales of the concession stand. The amount of fund raising dollars greatly depends on number of volunteers, size of stand worked and number of events.
   
   
6. Is there training?
   

   There is a mandatory non – profit orientation that all members of your group must attend. This class is an introduction to our policies, procedures, and our alcohol serving policy.  This class is normally a 2 hour time commitment and you will be completing all necessary forms including a background check release form.
   Additional 1 hour sessions for job specific overviews i.e. stand manager, head cashier, cashier and cooks are provided as well.
   
    

   
   
   
7. How many volunteers do we need?
   University of Phoenix Stadium has several sizes of concession stands ranging from 12 people to 40 people. Your NPO Coordinator will work with you to determine what location will fit your group’s needs. 
   
   
8. What do we wear for an event?
   Every member must wear long solid black slacks and a white undershirt.  Shoes need to be solid black and certified as slip resistant. Rojo Hospitality will provide you a shirt, apron, and name tag, which must be returned at the end of the event, or the cost of missing items will be deducted from the group’s commission.
   
   
9. Can we put our own signage up in a stand?
   Rojo Hospitality provides name badges to identify your group as a non- profit organization.  Other items such as posters, handmade signs, buttons or other “FLARE” are not allowed in an effort to remain consistent from location to location. 
   
   
10. Back up groups- 
    Due to the success of our fund raising program, we often have a waiting list of eager non-profit organizations.  Rojo Hospitality uses this as a way for groups to participate and decide if this is the right opportunity for their organization.  Your volunteers will be utilized on an as needed basis and your group will be compensated for the time and efforts of your participants. 
    
    
11. What are the hours we would be working?
    Stand Managers arrive about 3 hours before the doors open. The rest of the group arrives about 2 ½ hours before doors open. The result is approximately 8-9 hours for the stand manager and 6-7 hours for the rest of the group members. For a typical football game, event starts at 2:00PM and doors open at 12:00PM therefore check in would begin at 9:00AM and you would be at the stadium until about 6:30PM.  We suggest creative scheduling for your volunteers and will provide you some alternatives. 
    
    
12. Do we need to provide insurance?
    Yes, there is a requirement of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Your non-profit organization shall provide a certificate of insurance naming Rojo Hospitality Group LLC, University of Phoenix Stadium, the Arizona Tourism and Sports Authority D/B/A The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority, The Arizona Cardinals Football Club LLC, Global Spectrum as an additional insured. 
    
    
13. Do we need to sign a contract?
    Yes, Rojo Hospitality and your group enter into a Nonprofit Agreement which will detail Rojo Hospitality’s responsibilities, policies and commission structure. 
    
    
14. How soon does our group receive our donation check from Rojo Hospitality?
    The checks are usually mailed within 2 weeks from the completion of an event.
    
    
15. We are so excited, how do we get started fundraising with Rojo Hospitality at the University of Phoenix Stadium? 
    Contact our Non Profit Coordinator.
