The classroom funding problem

Teachers spend their own money on supplies. Bake sales put all the pressure on the same volunteers.

Classrooms need books, technology, and materials that district budgets do not always cover. Teachers often pay out of pocket while PTAs run the same product sales every year.

MonthFund gives each teacher or grade-level team a structured calendar to share with parents and community supporters. Donors claim a day and give that amount. Progress is visible without another inventory drive.

The model

31 days. Every supporter claims one day.

01

Create the campaign and share the link

A teacher or PTA lead sets up the campaign in minutes and shares the calendar with families and local supporters.

02

Supporters claim days

Parents and neighbors claim a day and give the matching amount. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the classroom keeps 100%.

03

Watch the calendar fill

When days are claimed, funds go directly to the classroom goal. The calendar is the scoreboard.

The math

One month can stock a classroom.

One calendar, one month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

Five teachers$2,480

Five classrooms each running one calendar in the same month.

Whole grade level$4,960

Ten teachers each running one calendar. One coordinated month.

MonthFund provides structure. Outcomes depend on participation. The model makes them calculable, not guaranteed.

Built for classrooms

Tools that fit how schools actually fundraise.

Parents share with their network

Each family can promote the calendar to grandparents, neighbors, and coworkers beyond the classroom list.

Public progress board

Students and families see the calendar fill in real time. Visible progress drives participation.

Runs alongside PTA events

Keep your fall festival or spirit wear sale. MonthFund is a parallel digital layer in a separate month.

No products to sell

No order forms or deliveries. Donors give a day amount and the classroom keeps 100%.

Why it works for classrooms

A model teachers and PTAs can repeat.

Clear ask for donors

Claiming a day gives supporters a bounded role instead of an open-ended donation page.

Less volunteer burnout

No inventory to manage. Share a link and the calendar tracks everything.

Repeatable every year

Run the same structure at back-to-school, mid-year, or end-of-year.

FAQ

Questions from teachers and PTAs

Can a single teacher run this without the whole PTA?

Yes. A teacher can launch a personal classroom calendar. PTAs can also run a school-wide campaign with multiple calendars.

Does the school need a 501(c)(3)?

No. MonthFund works with PTAs, booster clubs, and teacher-led campaigns regardless of tax status.

How does payout work?

Funds are processed through Stripe and deposited to the connected bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule.
