We're band family
who figured out
fundraising.

A decade in the trenches with fine arts programs taught us everything. Now we're giving it all away. Literally free. No catch.

You pay nothing. Donors keep it that way.

Any age group. Even middle school.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE

Donations go straight to your account — not ours.

Connect your organization's own Stripe account and every gift lands in your bank as it's given — no one holding your money, no waiting on a platform payout. Prefer we handle the processing? That works too.

The Blitz Process.

Six steps, three phases, about five weeks. Follow the process and watch it work.

Why it works: every ask is personal, the reminders are automatic, and the whole thing is fun. Programs that run it hold 81–99% student participation, season after season — and we publish their numbers.

NEWTHE FUNDRAISING BOARD

Every day has a price.
Every supporter gets their name on it.

A 28-day board where supporters sponsor a day in a student's name, from $8 for Day 1 to $43 for Day 7, and Premier days fund Homecoming, State and BOA. It runs on Connect or Express with the same checkout, reminders and reports.

  • 1Their name on the day. Supporters see themselves on the student's board the moment they pay.
  • 2No two people can buy the same day. A day is held while someone checks out, and frees itself if they walk away.
  • 3Premier days for the big events. Any number of supporters can give toward the trip, any number of times.

Rouse Band's live 28-day Fundraising Board: each column has its own price, days shade darker as more students have them sponsored, seven Premier days beneath.

NEWTHE CAMPAIGN HUB

One campaign for the whole department.
A branded fund for every program.

Band, Choir, Orchestra, Art and Theater on one page, one link and one payout. Donors tap their program, the page re-themes to that fund, and every dollar is earmarked.

  • 1Every fund gets its own page. Its own colour, hero, story and suggested amounts, inside the department's campaign.
  • 2Students can be in more than one fund. A kid in Band and Choir is one student, listed under both. A donor's gift goes to the fund they were looking at. One roster file covers every fund.
  • 3Reports split by fund, money lands together. Per-fund totals for each director, one Stripe payout for the department.
