Built specifically for school bands, fine arts programs, and booster clubs — not a generic fundraising tool stretched to fit.
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.

NEW · MORE WAYS TO RAISE
Go beyond the once-a-year campaign.
Every campaign now includes a corporate sponsor page with tiered packages and a logo wall, and a monthly giving club that turns loyal supporters into steady income between campaigns — students get incentive credit for both. Whole departments can run one Campaign Hub, with a branded fund for every program and per-fund reporting on a single payout; students who take more than one class are listed in every fund they belong to. And any campaign can add a Fundraising Board: a 28-day board where supporters sponsor a day in a student's name.
No platform fees. No percentage of donations. No contracts. Donors can optionally leave a tip to support us — or your organization can choose a flat per-student fee instead. Either way, every dollar raised goes directly to your Stripe account.
