A school fundraiser parents actually want to run.

No. Once the campaign is live and parents are invited, MonthFund handles progress tracking, reminders, and reporting. The organizer's active role is primarily at setup and campaign close.

Yes. Students can claim days and rally their own networks. Many schools use MonthFund as a student leadership opportunity: giving older students ownership of a specific day and goal.

The model is flexible. Families who claim Day 3 raise $3. There's no minimum. Participation is about activating your network, not the size of your personal contribution.

Fun runs and walkathons require physical event coordination—volunteers, route setup, and per-lap tracking. A MonthFund calendar fundraiser runs entirely online. Each parent shares a digital calendar; donors claim a day and give the matching amount. No event to staff, no weather risk, and no pledge-per-lap math. It fits alongside a fun run on your annual calendar rather than replacing it.

Yes. Each teacher or classroom parent can serve as an organizer for a classroom-level campaign. Multiple classrooms can run simultaneously under the same school account on an Organization plan. Each group has its own calendar, its own fundraisers, and its own goal.

MonthFund is designed to fit alongside existing fundraisers, not replace them. Many PTAs use it for a separate giving month when they want a product-free option. A fall calendar campaign, a holiday catalog, and a spring gala can all coexist on your school's annual fundraising calendar.

MonthFund integrates with Stripe for secure payment processing. Donors pay directly through the platform using a credit or debit card. Funds are deposited on Stripe's standard payout schedule to your organization's bank account. MonthFund does not hold funds.

Use a Corporate "Buy a Row" Sponsorship. Instead of selling ad space, a local business underwrites the first week of the calendar (Days 1-7) for a premium flat rate. This guarantees early momentum and provides the sponsor with dedicated visibility.

MonthFund is a live platform built specifically for schools and PTAs. It runs on a clear, structured model and is designed to work reliably from the first campaign. Our team has worked inside schools and nonprofits and is here to support your setup and every campaign after it.
