The film club fundraising problem

Equipment, festival fees, and production costs require real money. Product sales burn out the same families.

Film programs need money for camera equipment, editing software, festival submission fees, and production resources. The typical answer is a product sale that requires every student to sell a quota of candy bars to the same neighbors, year after year.

MonthFund gives every club member a defined role that does not require selling a product. Each student shares their own 31-day calendar with their personal network. Their family and supporters claim days. The club fills the month together.

The model

31 days. Every filmmaker a fundraiser.

01

Set up the campaign and invite the club

The advisor or booster club 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 5 is $5. Day 29 is $29. 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 club month funds new equipment.

One student, one month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

10-member club$4,960

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

Two campaigns per year$9,920

Run fall and spring. Predictable, repeatable funding for equipment and fees.

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

Built for film programs

Tools that fit how academic clubs actually work.

Every student is a fundraiser

Each club member gets their own shareable calendar link. Their network is your reach.

Public progress board

Families see the club calendar fill in real time. Visible progress drives participation.

Runs alongside other fundraisers

Keep your annual film festival or product sale. MonthFund is a parallel digital layer that runs in the same month.

No products, no inventory

No candy bars to count. No order forms to reconcile. Donors give a day amount and the program keeps 100%.

Why it works for film clubs

A model the whole club can own.

Distributed ownership

Every student has a specific role. No single parent carries the whole campaign.

Built for busy families

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

Repeatable every year

The club learns the model once. The structure stays the same whether you run it in October or March.

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