Fundraising that survives auction night.

The annual fund, auction tickets, walk-a-thon gifts and family records in one account, so the development office reports on the year instead of reconciling it.

One account. The whole school year.

From the fall annual fund to the spring gala, each campaign has a goal bar, and each parent's gifts and tickets land on one record.

Tickets and gifts, together.

Receipts cover gifts only. Tuition stays in your billing system.

  • Sell gala and auction tickets where you take donations. Guests check in with a QR code.
  • A kiosk at back-to-school night takes card and phone taps, and keeps taking one-time gifts if the Wi-Fi drops.
  • Give volunteers a role that checks guests in but cannot see donations.

Zakat and Sadaqah for Islamic schools.

Each gift is routed to its fund when the donor gives, so the business office never reclassifies it later.

  • Zakat for scholarship assistance stays apart from general donations.
  • Sadaqah supports operations, and the building campaign is its own restricted fund.
  • Donors can schedule a gift for each of the last 10 nights of Ramadan.

Ideas across the school year.

The account belongs to the school or PTA, so donor history carries over when officers change.

  • Auction night: a kiosk takes fund-a-need gifts, kept apart from paddle bids.
  • Carnival: sell wristbands online for weeks, then sell the rest at the gate on a kiosk.
  • Back-to-school drive: suggested amounts tied to real needs, like a supply kit.
  • Pickup line: annual-fund QR signs that parents scan from the car.
  • Homecoming: a kiosk with a fund for each reunion class.
