Go to Panera's website they have an on-line form. I have gotten a yes from them two years in a row. I also got a yes from Disney. I'm looking for some airfare to go with it. It seems most do not donate to schools? Has anyone had luck with this?
Regarding Chipotle, you need to request a donation 12 weeks in advance. Also my local Gymboree Play and Music is very generous with their donations.
We have received a donation from Panera and it was a quick turnaround (72 hrs). We also received a donation from American Girl (must be kids not over 12 years in your organization). We received 4 Disney park hopper tickets. We are a parochial, non profit, school.
Every year for the past six years I've asked Panera, and every year they turn us down. Generally I'll give a company three tries before giving up on them, but since so many get Panera I keep trying.
Stampin Up also told us they're only doing once every two years now, and we got it last year.
I contacted American Girl first week in January and haven't heard anything.
First time contacting Chipotle and they donated 2 $50 cards. Nice!
