The neighborhood association problem

Landscaping, events, and block parties cost money. Collecting voluntary dues is awkward.

Neighborhood associations need money for entrance landscaping, block parties, and community improvements. The typical answer is asking neighbors for voluntary dues, which is awkward to collect and hard to track.

MonthFund gives your neighborhood a clear, bounded way to chip in. The board shares a 31-day calendar with the neighborhood. Neighbors claim a day. The block fills the month together without any single person feeling pressured.

The model

31 days. Every neighbor chips in.

01

Set up the campaign and invite the board

The association president or treasurer creates the campaign in minutes. Board members can share the calendar link on Nextdoor or Facebook.

02

Neighbors claim days

Neighbors claim a day and give the matching amount. Day 10 is $10. Day 25 is $25. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the association keeps 100%.

03

The neighborhood fills the month

When every day is claimed, the association has hit its goal. The calendar is the scoreboard. Progress is public and visible to the whole block.

The math

A full neighborhood month funds a block party.

One fully claimed month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

Quarterly campaigns$1,984

Run a campaign each season. Predictable funding for landscaping and events.

Multiple calendarsScales

Have street captains each run a calendar for their specific block.

Easy sharing

Share the calendar link on Nextdoor, Facebook groups, or neighborhood email lists.

No door-to-door

No knocking on doors to collect checks. Donors give online and the association keeps 100%.

Why it works for neighborhoods

A model the whole block can own.

Clear, bounded ask

Neighbors do not have to decide how much to give. The day they claim tells them the amount.

Built for busy neighbors

No one needs to attend a meeting. They click a link, claim a day, and the calendar tracks everything.

Repeatable every project

The neighborhood learns the model once. Spring planting, fall block party, the structure stays the same.

FAQ

Questions from neighborhood associations

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

No. MonthFund is available to neighborhood associations and community groups regardless of tax status.

Can we run this for a specific project like a new playground?

Yes. You set the goal context when you create the campaign. A specific project goal often drives higher participation.
