How Our School Fundraising Software Works

Are there any free fundraising platforms for schools?

Yes! 99Pledges is made free via optional donor tips and has no start-up costs or platform fees. Only a small credit card transaction fee applies.

The best school fundraiser is the one that excites your community and aligns with your timeline and budgetary needs. 99Pledges enables you to run easy, affordable fundraisers. Peer-to-peer campaigns are our favorite fundraisers because they involve your school’s wider community and get kids involved in fundraising.

When hosting a fundraiser for elementary school students, you need to consider the needs of both kids and parents. Elementary students require more supervision, and parents often want to be involved in these fundraisers but may have limited time or bandwidth to contribute.

If you want to host an easy, profitable fundraiser, peer-to-peer or “thon” events are your best bet. Walk-a-thons, Fun Runs, Dance-a-thons, and Read-a-thons are among our favorite school fundraising ideas.

Our favorite event for elementary schools has to be the Read-a-thon. These events are incredibly easy to host, and encouraging young students to read more is something any teacher or parent can get behind. Talk about a win-win!

Yes! Whether this is your first event or your hundred-and-first, 99Pledges is ready to support you. Our team will help you get up and running with ease, and we’ll provide your group with a fundraising coach who will help you reach your fundraising goals faster with less stress.

As you run your fundraiser, you’ll collect donations via credit or debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through your online donation page. For cash or check donations, 99Pledges offers free tracking. At the end of your fundraiser, you’ll receive your funds as soon as 1 business day.

99Pledges makes school fundraising as quick, easy, and affordable as possible.

We’ll help you reach your fundraising goals, giving you more time for your students.
