FUNDRAISING FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS
Express Mode runs the whole fundraiser with no student accounts at all — COPPA-safe for under-13 groups, powered by parents, fully tracked for you.
WHY IT WORKS
Under-13 is where most platforms quietly give up.
Online fundraising tools are built for high schoolers who manage their own pages — which leaves middle school directors stuck with wrapping paper and cookie dough. Express Mode flips the model: you upload the roster, donors pick a student to credit, and parents do the sharing. No accounts, no student emails, no COPPA problem.
You upload student names — that's the only student data the fundraiser needs. Kids never sign up, log in, or manage anything. Built COPPA-compliant from the start.
Parents share the campaign link with family and friends, and donors pick the student to credit. The heads-up and blitz-night process from the Playbook works exactly the same — the grown-ups just drive.
Full tracking by student, live donation feed, leaderboards for the fun stuff, and one-click Excel exports. Express Mode trims the student experience, not your reporting.
PROVEN IN THE FIELD
Middle school is where the donor network starts compounding.
THE LONG GAME
Donors grow with the program
Rouse High School's average gift more than doubled — $46 to $98 — as the same families gave year after year. A middle school that starts building its donor list now hands the high school program a warmed-up network.

Two more streams, all year long.
Every campaign also includes a corporate sponsor page for local businesses and a monthly giving club for your most loyal supporters — steady money that keeps coming between campaigns, with students earning incentive credit for both.
Yes. Express Mode was built for exactly this: students never create accounts, never enter personal information, and never interact with the platform. An adult uploads the roster, and donors simply pick which student to credit. That design is COPPA-compliant.
A director, booster leader, or PTO parent sets it up in about five minutes. Parents share the campaign link with their networks. Students' only job is the fun part — the kickoff, the incentives, and watching the total climb.
No. You share the campaign link however you already reach parents — newsletter, group text, folder night. Parents take it from there.
