WINSTON-SALEM, NC — Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS), which serves over 54,000 students across 80 schools, is proud to announce Schoolfundr as its official fundraising partner for athletics programs. During a successful pilot program, WS/FCS schools raised over $150,000, underscoring the platform’s ability to maximize fundraising efforts and provide essential resources for athletic programs.

‍

Focusing on efficiency and impact, Schoolfundr provides an easy-to-use platform enabling schools to conduct successful fundraising campaigns with minimal administrative effort. The system’s seamless integration and economic model ensure that schools retain all of the funds raised, minus standard processing fees, making it a game-changer for fundraising success.

‍

"As our number of Title 1 schools increases, we need to stretch our dollars as far as we can," said John Sullivan, District Athletic Director at WS/FCS. "Any money and support we get from the community, family, and friends is vital to sustaining the success and impact of our athletic programs. Online fundraising is not only safer than traditional methods, but it also maximizes our dollar. Keeping around 97% of what we raise is unmatched in the industry. Our schools have been thrilled with Schoolfundr’s service and support, and the ability to keep 10-17% more of the funds they raise is a significant advantage, adding up quickly. If you're an athletic director or administrator, you should look to work with Schoolfundr."

‍

Brad Fisher, Athletic Director at R.J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, also shared his enthusiasm for the platform. "We don’t have enough money to go around, and ticket sales just don’t cover all our needs. Fundraising is essential for providing our athletes with the equipment and opportunities they deserve. Schoolfundr’s platform is so easy to use, and the ~97% return is incredible. The process is streamlined, and the funds start coming in quickly—our coaches and teams are extremely pleased with the results."
