CONNECTICUT — The South West Conference (SWC), comprised of 14 member high schools and serving over 12,000 students through more than 30 sports, including Unified Sports, has named Schoolfundr as its Official Fundraising Partner. During a successful pilot program, five SWC schools collectively raised over $100,000, highlighting the platform's effectiveness and potential for broader implementation across the league.

Schoolfundr provides an easy-to-use fundraising platform that enables schools to raise more and keep more than ever before. Schoolfundr allows schools to retain all the funds they raise, minus standard processing fees, ensuring maximum financial impact for students and programs.

"After witnessing the exceptional results during our pilot and receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from schools across the league, including coaches at Weston High, we knew Schoolfundr would be a gamechanger for the South West Conference," said Mark Berkowitz, SWC League Commissioner and Athletic Director at Weston High School. "Schoolfundr’s innovative platform, unparalleled service, and powerful oversight tools like Schoolfundr+ offer a complete solution that supports all our athletic programs, ensuring transparency and simplifying fundraising efforts."

At Newtown High School, the impact has been clear. "Seven of our programs have utilized Schoolfundr, and the results have been outstanding," said Matthew Memoli, Athletic Director at Newtown High School. "Our students are raising more than ever before while keeping almost everything they raise, which is a significant advantage. Schoolfundr has made fundraising easier and more rewarding for our students, families, and coaches."

With the formalization of the partnership between Schoolfundr and the South West Conference, all member schools will now benefit from the platform’s capabilities and support from a no-cost fundraising advisor to achieve greater fundraising success.

"We are honored to be the Official Fundraising Partner for the South West Conference," said Dennis Levene, CEO of Schoolfundr. "This partnership underscores our commitment to supporting schools, students, and their communities while reinvesting resources to create long-term success for programs throughout the league."
