What is Schoolfundr?

Schoolfundr is a free, simple way to raise money. It’s built for teachers, coaches, and parents — so you can spend time on students, not on fundraising.

At Schoolfundr, we believe in empowering school communities to achieve their goals. That's why we offer free fundraising tools that simplify the process and save time and resources for teachers, coaches, and parents.

Our platform is designed to be customizable and flexible, but with minimal effort on your end. Our simple tools help you quickly create tailored fundraising campaigns that address the specific needs of your school community.

We pride ourselves on being a fee-free way for schools to fundraise. You keep 100% of the money raised, with only standard credit card processing fees deducted. Plus, our one-click social sharing features increase campaign visibility and encourage more donations.

Join us in revolutionizing school fundraising and making a positive impact on your community with Schoolfundr.

Happy kids
