# RapidFundraising

> RapidFundraising is a free online fundraising platform built for school bands, fine arts programs, and booster clubs in the United States. Organizations pay nothing — the platform uses a donor-supported model, and donations go directly to the organization's own Stripe account rather than being held by the platform.

## What it does

- Personal fundraiser pages for each student, with campaign-wide and per-student goals
- Automated SMS and email reminders to supporters
- Live pledge tracking and detailed reporting for directors and booster leaders
- Corporate sponsorship pages with tiered packages and a sponsor logo wall — 100% goes to the program
- Monthly giving clubs: a named, members-only club page that turns supporters into steady monthly income between campaigns
- Campaign Hubs: one department-wide fundraiser with a branded fund per program (band, choir, orchestra, theater, art), per-fund reporting, and a single payout
- Express Mode for under-13 groups: COPPA-compliant, no student accounts, parent-driven sharing
- Students earn incentive credit for every gift their link brings in — one-time, monthly, or corporate
- Funds flow directly to the organization's Stripe account — the platform never holds the money

## Who it's for

School band programs, orchestras, choirs, dance and drill teams, cheer squads, color guard and winter guard, theater programs, middle and elementary schools, whole fine arts departments, and the booster clubs that support them — from first-year fundraisers to six-figure campaigns.
