The mission trip problem

Travel and service costs add up fast. Asking the same supporters for one large gift is uncomfortable.

Mission and service trips require flights, lodging, and supplies. Travelers often rely on a short list of supporters asked for large lump-sum gifts.

MonthFund gives each traveler a structured calendar to share with their network. Supporters claim a day and give that amount. The ask is distributed across 31 days instead of one awkward conversation.

The model

31 days. Every traveler a fundraiser.

01

Set up the campaign and invite travelers

The church or mission lead creates the campaign in minutes. Each traveler gets their own calendar page.

02

Supporters claim days

Friends and family claim a day and give the matching amount. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the mission fund keeps 100%.

03

The team fills the month

When calendars fill, travelers hit their funding goals before departure.

The math

A full team month covers travel costs.

One traveler, one month$496

12-person team$5,952

Two trips per year$11,904
