Lincoln Elementary PTA, October
22 of 31 families have claimed a day · 9 days open
Your PTA keeps 40–50 cents on the dollar. Parents are tired of selling.
Catalog drives, cookie dough, and wrapping paper campaigns ask parents to sell products their neighbors don't need — and your PTA only keeps a fraction of the revenue after the vendor takes their cut. Meanwhile, a shrinking pool of volunteers manages order forms, tracks inventory, and chases down cash envelopes.
MonthFund gives your PTA a different option: a 100% margin digital calendar where parents share a link instead of a catalog. No product to sell, no inventory to manage, no vendor split. Just a simple, visible goal that the whole school community can fill together.
31 days. Every family has a role. One school goal.
Set up your campaign in minutes
Your PTA picks a month, names the goal, and invites parents as fundraisers. Each parent gets their own personal calendar page to share. Setup takes under 15 minutes.
Parents share; donors claim days
Each parent shares their calendar link with family and friends. Donors claim a day and give the matching amount: Day 12 is $12, Day 28 is $28. Donors can give more and optionally cover the small infrastructure fee. No selling required.
The school fills the month together
Every claimed day brings the goal closer. Progress is public and visible to every family. When the month is full, your PTA has hit its goal — together, without a single product sold.
Here's exactly what a full month is worth to your PTA.
The structural floor of a fully claimed month. Based on the model design, not projected outcomes.
Run one campaign per semester. Same model, different month. Consistent, low-lift output for your PTA calendar.
Run one campaign per grade level or classroom. Each cohort adds to the school total without duplicating effort.
MonthFund provides structure. Outcomes depend on participation. The model makes them calculable, not guaranteed.
Everything your PTA needs. Nothing it does not.
Free to start, free to run
MonthFund is 100% free for PTAs. Donors optionally cover the small infrastructure fee so your school keeps every dollar of the intended gift. No platform fees, no vendor split, no credit card required.
Live progress board
Every family can see how full the month is in real time. Visible progress drives participation — the calendar does the reminding so your volunteers do not have to.
Works on any device
Parents share a link via text, email, or social media. Donors claim a day and give from their phone. No app download required for donors or fundraisers.
No product to sell
Families ask their own networks for the day amount. No wrapping paper, no catalog, no order form to reconcile. Run it alongside your existing drives or as a standalone campaign.
A model parents can actually say yes to.
Participation over pressure
Claiming a day gives each family a specific, manageable role. It is easier to commit to a day than to respond to an open-ended ask or sell products to reluctant neighbors.
The calendar explains itself
Parents understand the model immediately. No meeting required. One look at the calendar grid is enough to see exactly what is needed and what is left.
Runs alongside what you already do
MonthFund is designed to complement your existing fundraising calendar — not replace it. A fall catalog, a spring gala, and a MonthFund calendar month can all coexist.
Questions from PTA organizers
Yes. MonthFund is free to start and free to run. There are no platform fees and no vendor splits. Donors are given the option to cover a small infrastructure fee on top of their gift so your PTA keeps 100% of the intended donation amount.
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.
The model is flexible. A family who claims Day 3 raises $3. There is no minimum. Participation is about activating your personal network, not the size of your own 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 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 directly to your PTA's bank account. MonthFund does not hold funds.
Absolutely. 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 annual fundraising calendar.
MonthFund is a live platform built specifically for PTAs and school communities. It runs on a clear, structured model and is designed to work reliably from the first campaign. Our team has worked inside nonprofits and schools and is here to support your setup and every campaign after it.
