Your community can fund itself.Calendar fundraiser software for teams, schools, and organizations.

Organizers launch the month and recruit participants. Each fundraiser shares a day grid. Donors claim days and give. Everyone sees the month fill. Every dollar is tracked. Same month-shaped rhythm sits comfortably next to galas, fun runs, and catalog drives you already run.

The model

A simple structure. A collective goal.

A calendar fundraiser works like this: organizers recruit fundraisers. Each fundraiser carries their own 31-day calendar. Their job is to get people in their network to claim days and donate the matching amount.

Day 7 = $7. Day 22 = $22. A full calendar = $496. Every fundraiser multiplies that potential.

1

Organizer launches a campaign

Set the month, recruit your fundraisers, set the goal.

2

Fundraisers share their calendar

Each fundraiser gets a personal calendar page to share with their network.

3

Donors claim a day and give

Pick any open day. Donate that amount or more. Donors can optionally cover infrastructure fees so your org receives 100%.

4

Progress is visible. Repeat monthly.

Fill the calendar. Close the month. Run it again.

Why it works

Structured giving creates shared accountability.

MonthFund is built for calendar fundraisers: organizers launch the month and recruit participants, each fundraiser shares their own day grid, donors claim a day and give that amount (or more), and everyone sees the month fill in public. Clear structure, shared accountability, and day-level amounts everyone can repeat.

  • Clear structure.
  • Shared accountability.
  • Visible progress.
  • Distributed ownership.

The multiplier

More fundraisers. More calendars. More raised.

Every fundraiser you activate adds another $496 in guaranteed floor. Donor generosity pushes it further. The model repeats every month.

Floor total (all days at face value)

Potential $15,000–$20,000+

50 fundraisers$24,800 floor

Floor totals assume all 31 days claimed at face value. Actual results vary based on donor generosity and fill rate.

Keep 100% of your funds. Donors cover the infrastructure.

We built MonthFund on a simple principle: your donors give to your cause, not to our software. A transparent infrastructure fee is added at checkout on the free plan. Donors see it, understand it, and cover it in one click. Line items are always visible. No surprises.

On Community (free), the infrastructure fee is 3%. On Professional it is 1%. On Network it is 0%. As your volume grows, your subscription covers more of our cost. Card processing is separate through Stripe: typically ~2.9% + $0.30, or ~2.2% + $0.30 for many nonprofits.

  • Donors choose to cover it: Because the fee is transparent and clearly explained, the vast majority of donors cover it in one click, meaning your cause receives 100% of their intended gift.
  • Always visible at checkout: Every line item is shown clearly. Donors know exactly what they are covering and where it goes. No hidden tips, no default opt-ins.
  • Lower fees as you scale: Professional (1%) and Network (0%) reduce the per-donation infrastructure fee. Your subscription covers our cost instead, so more of every dollar stays with your cause.
