Can I still host this event if the group doesn't reach the RSVP Minimum?

Short Answer: Absolutely! Just select "Waive and Confirm" on the meal's Event Page.

Long Answer: Each group is required to have 20 RSVPs on the Organizer's Meal Page at least three days before the event date or the event is automatically cancelled. To learn more about this click here.

As a restaurant, you have the ability to waive this requirement. Once signed in, look for the event in question on your GroupRaise Dashboard under Manage Upcoming Events and click on the View Details button. After that, click on the Manage Event button and this will direct you to the Event Page. To waive the RSVP Minimum requirement, scroll down to find the Waive RSVP Requirement section underneath Donation Rate Adjustment and click "Waive and Confirm".

We recommend waiving this requirement only after receiving a request from the group to do so. You can communicate with the group prior to the event date using the Meal Talk chat feature.
