The robotics funding problem

Competition parts, software, and travel add up fast. The same mentors end up running every sale.

STEM teams need money for parts, registration, and travel to regional competitions. Product fundraisers burn out mentors and pull students away from the shop.

MonthFund gives every student a defined role. Each member shares their own calendar with family and local sponsors. Supporters claim days. The team fills the month together.

The model

31 days. Every team member a fundraiser.

01

Set up the campaign and invite the team

The mentor or booster lead creates the campaign in minutes. Each student gets their own calendar page.

02

Students share; sponsors claim days

Each member shares their calendar. Sponsors claim a day and give the matching amount. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the team keeps 100%.

03

The team fills the month

When every day is claimed across all calendars, the team has hit its build-season goal.

The math

A full team month funds competition travel.

One student, one month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

15-student team$7,440

Fifteen members each running one calendar simultaneously.

Two seasons per year$14,880

Run build season and off-season outreach. Same model, predictable floor.

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

Built for robotics teams

Tools that fit how STEM programs operate.

Every member is a fundraiser

Each student gets their own shareable calendar link. Their network is your sponsor base.

Public progress board

The team sees calendars fill in real time. Visible progress drives participation before competition deadlines.

Runs alongside grants and sponsors

Keep corporate sponsors and grants. MonthFund adds a community layer any month of the year.

No products, no inventory

No candy bars to reconcile. Donors give a day amount and the team keeps 100%.

Why it works for robotics

A model the whole team can own.

Distributed ownership

Every student has a specific role. Mentors are not the only fundraisers.

Professional sponsor ask

Local businesses get a clear, bounded way to support the team without writing one large check.

Repeatable every season

The team learns the model once. Run it before regionals, nationals, or off-season outreach.
