The scout troop problem

Camping trips, badges, and gear cost real money. Product sales put all the pressure on parents.

Scout troops need money for summer camp, gear, and registration fees. The typical answer is a massive product sale that requires parents to manage inventory, track orders, and coordinate deliveries.

MonthFund distributes the work across every family without a single box of product. Each scout family gets their own calendar to share with their personal network. Their supporters claim days. The troop fills the month together without the troop leader running the whole thing.

The model

31 days. Every scout family a fundraiser.

01

Set up the campaign and invite families

The troop leader or treasurer creates the campaign in minutes. Each family gets their own calendar page to share.

02

Families share; supporters claim days

Each family shares their calendar with their personal network. Supporters claim a day and give the matching amount. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the troop keeps 100%.

03

The troop fills the month

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

The math

A full troop month funds summer camp.

One family, one month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

20-scout troop$9,920

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

Two campaigns per year$19,840

Run fall and spring. Predictable, repeatable funding for your troop.

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

Built for scout troops

Tools that fit how troops actually work.

Every family is a fundraiser

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

Public progress board

The troop sees the calendar fill in real time. Visible progress drives participation.

Runs alongside popcorn sales

Keep your annual product sale. MonthFund is a parallel digital layer that runs in a separate month.

No products, no inventory

No boxes to manage. No deliveries to make. Donors give a day amount and the troop keeps 100%.

Why it works for scout troops

A model the whole troop can own.

Distributed ownership

Every family has a specific role. No single leader carries the whole campaign.

Built for busy parents

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

Repeatable every year

The troop learns the model once. The structure stays the same whether you run it in September or February.

FAQ

Questions from scout troop leaders

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

No. MonthFund is available to scout troops and parent organizations regardless of tax status.

Can we run this alongside our annual popcorn sale?

Yes. A product sale and a calendar fundraiser serve different donor behaviors. They can run in different months of the year.

How does payout work?

Funds are processed through Stripe and deposited directly to the troop's bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule.
