No Fuss Fundraisers are becoming all the rage! These donation-based, crowdfunding fundraisers accept and track online payments without the need for the community to purchase anything or attend any event.
SuccessFund's campaign template makes it easy to:
- Show progress toward your goal, and track results by classroom and student so you don't have to keep spreadsheets.
- Accept modern forms of payment that parents prefer (like Apply pay and Venmo!) so you're not taking payments into personal accounts.
- Spread the word online and in person with automated flyers so it's easy to make sure everyone can contribute.
