How it works

Three roles.
One shared goal.

MonthFund runs on a simple structure: organizers launch, fundraisers activate their networks, donors claim days. Every role is clear. Every dollar is visible.

The model

Every role has a defined responsibility.

MonthFund works because the structure is specific. No one is asked to "just spread the word." Everyone has a job.

Organizer1

Set the stage

Create the campaign. Set the goal month. Recruit your fundraiser cohort — the people in your network who will each carry a calendar. Track fill rate across all fundraisers from your dashboard.

Fundraiser2

Activate your network

You get a personal calendar page with 31 open days. Share it with friends, family, colleagues. Each person who claims a day commits a dollar amount. A full calendar = $496.

Donor3

Pick a day and give

Browse a fundraiser's calendar. Claim any open day. Donate the matching amount — or more. Optionally cover platform fees. No account needed.

Step by step

Six steps. One repeatable structure.

Clear accountability at every stage. Each step has an owner, an action, and a visible outcome.

Organizer

Launch a campaign

Campaign month set

Pick a month, set your goal, and create a public campaign page your community can understand instantly. No technical setup required.

Organizer

Recruit your fundraisers

Fundraisers activated

Invite 10, 20, or 50 people from your organization to become fundraisers. Each one receives their own calendar page to manage independently. More fundraisers = more calendars = more raised.

Fundraiser

Share your calendar

Calendar shared

Each fundraiser gets a personal calendar link they can share via text, email, or social. Their network sees exactly which days are open and what each one costs to claim.

Donor

Claim a day and donate

Day claimed

Donors visit a fundraiser's calendar, pick any open day, and give the matching amount. Day 7 = $7. Day 22 = $22. They can give more than the day's value and choose to cover platform fees.

Organizer & Fundraiser

Track progress live

Progress tracking

Organizers see fill rates across all fundraiser calendars in real time. Fundraisers see exactly which of their days are claimed. The month becomes a visible shared scoreboard.

Monthly rhythm

At month end, funds are disbursed via Stripe. Thank your fundraisers and donors. The structure is already set for next month — just recruit and launch again.

The math

Every number is defined before you start.

A single fully-filled MonthFund calendar — Day 1 through Day 31 — produces $496 per fundraiser. The structure makes the outcome predictable before you recruit a single fundraiser.

Days in a month31

Each day is a unique donation slot. Day 1 = $1 through Day 31 = $31.

Every fundraiser you recruit adds another $496 floor. There is no ceiling on fundraiser count.

Common questions

Straight answers.

If something about the model is still unclear, it's probably answered here.

A fundraiser is someone your organization recruits to carry a calendar. They share their calendar link with their personal network and get people to claim days. A donor is someone who visits a fundraiser's calendar, picks a day, and makes the corresponding donation. Fundraisers don't donate — they recruit. Donors don't recruit — they claim.
