Why no-sell fundraising works better
Traditional school fundraisers ask families to buy things they don’t want so a sliver reaches the school. No-sell fundraising flips that: it captures a share of purchases families would make anyway, so participation is effortless and the funding recurs without a campaign.
How it works with Good Circles
Sign up your school or PTA free with your 501(c)(3) details, families select your school as their cause, and 10% of the merchant’s profit on every local purchase they make is routed to you each month. See school fundraising »
What it can add up to
At about $72 per participating family per year, a school with 500 families can raise roughly $36,000 a year — recurring and unrestricted, with no events to staff. Families also save about 10%, so they come out ahead too.
Start a school fundraiser that runs itself
No selling, no order forms — recurring funding from spending families already do.
