The drama club fundraising problem

Royalties, costumes, and set construction cost real money. The same parents end up running every bake sale.

Drama programs need money for royalties, costumes, set materials, and sound equipment. The typical answer is a bake sale or a single ticket drive that puts all the pressure on the director and a handful of parents.

MonthFund gives every cast and crew member a defined role. Each student shares their own 31-day calendar with their personal network. Their family and fans claim days. The club fills the month together without the director running the whole thing.

The model

31 days. Every cast member a fundraiser.

01

Set up the campaign and invite the cast

The director or parent booster creates the campaign in minutes. Each student gets their own calendar page to share.

02

Students share; supporters claim days

Each student shares their calendar with family and friends. Supporters claim a day and give the matching amount. Day 10 is $10. Day 22 is $22. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the program keeps 100%.

03

The club fills the month

When every day is claimed across all student calendars, the club has hit its goal. The calendar is the scoreboard.

The math

A full cast month funds a full production.

One student, one month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

20-member cast and crew$9,920

Twenty students each running one calendar simultaneously. One month, one shared goal.

Fall and spring productions$19,840

Run one campaign per production. Same model, different month. Predictable funding for royalties and sets.

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

Built for drama programs

Tools that fit how theater programs actually work.

Every student is a fundraiser

Each cast and crew member gets their own shareable calendar link. Their network is your reach.

Public progress board

Families and supporters see the club calendar fill in real time.

Runs alongside ticket sales

Keep your ticket drive. MonthFund is a separate giving channel that runs before or during the production month.

No products, no inventory

No baked goods to sell. No order forms to reconcile. Donors give a day amount and the program keeps 100% of what they intend to give.

Why it works for drama

A model the whole cast can own.

Distributed ownership

Every student has a specific role. Claiming a day gives each member one manageable piece of the goal.

Built for busy families

Parents do not need to attend a meeting or manage inventory. They share a link and the calendar tracks everything.

Repeatable every production

The club learns the model once. Fall show, spring musical, or any month in between, the structure stays the same.

FAQ

Questions from drama club directors

Can middle school and high school drama clubs both use MonthFund?

Yes. MonthFund works for any size drama program. The organizer sets up the campaign and invites students as fundraisers.

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

No. MonthFund is available to school clubs and parent organizations regardless of tax status.

Can we run this alongside our ticket sales?

Yes. Ticket sales and a calendar fundraiser serve different donor behaviors. One is a purchase, the other is a gift. They complement each other.
