How much can a full calendar raise?
The math uses the triangular number formula: n(n+1)/2 where n = days in the month. Day 1 = $1, Day 2 = $2, … Day N = $N.
These numbers are exact math, not estimates.
| Month length (days) | Formula | Can raise up to |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | 28 × 29 ÷ 2 | $406 |
| 29 | 29 × 30 ÷ 2 | $435 |
| 30 | 30 × 31 ÷ 2 | $465 |
| 31 | 31 × 32 ÷ 2 | $496 |
Actual campaign totals depend on: (1) how many fundraisers share calendars, (2) fill rate, and (3) whether donors give more than the day amount. Model scenarios on the Calculator.
