It meant a lot to me to be supported by you all in my first year as principal to make our fundraiser a huge success!"
"What we discovered was that crowdfunding or similar types of fundraising platforms, traditionally take 20 to 50% of the profits from our activity groups... The fees from SuccessFund are very minimal and include many of the tools our end users want."
“Our faculty saw Venmo and everyone clapped. They are so excited.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a fundraiser management platform if we already have a student fee solution?
SuccessFund is the nation’s leading fundraiser management platform — purpose-built for the #1 problem area in school districts. It gives districts complete oversight over all fundraising activity while providing organizers with modern payment tools they can run independently, without burdening administrators. SuccessFund works side by side with your existing student fee solution and can even integrate with your SIS. Because it has the leading fundraiser tools and modern payment processing that organizers actually want to use, it quickly becomes a district’s go-to platform for all fundraising.
How can school districts track and reconcile all fundraising activity?
Yes. Every bank deposit from SuccessFund is paired with a detailed deposit report that finance teams can upload or reference in their accounting systems. Real-time dashboards give district administrators visibility into all active campaigns, transactions, and fundraising performance across the district.
Why do school districts choose SuccessFund for fundraising?
SuccessFund gives districts full visibility into every fundraiser across every school — with built-in approval workflows, fraud prevention through direct-deposit-only payouts, detailed audit-ready reporting, and a standardized process that replaces paper forms and cash handling. All of this at zero cost to the district.
Do PTAs, boosters, and external groups need district approval to fundraise?
By default, external groups are set to “unmanaged,” meaning they can operate autonomously without district approval. However, districts can choose to bring external groups under the same approval workflow as school-based campaigns for centralized oversight — while keeping external groups’ bank accounts and funds completely separate, even when the district manages their approval process.
Can school districts customize their fundraiser approval process?
Yes. Districts control the entire approval process — including which questions organizers must answer, how many levels of approval are required, and which administrators have approval permissions. This ensures every fundraiser aligns with district policies before going live.
Can schools accept Venmo for fundraisers without violating policy?
All payments made through SuccessFund — including Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap to pay — are routed directly to an approved school, district, or organization bank account, not to any individual. Donors pay through SuccessFund's secure checkout, so no personal accounts are ever involved.
