Mission-trip ready
Each student or team member raises toward the trip with admin-approved messages, personal stories, and clear progress visible to supporters.
For churches & ministries
Built with reverence for the work and the people doing it.
For local churches, youth groups, mission teams, camp ministries, and parachurch organizations. Pastoral oversight built into every share, designated giving by default, and an opt-in ScriptureGram message library curated by your ministry leaders.
What this looks like for churches
Built around how you already work.
ScriptureGrams (optional)
An opt-in library of verse-anchored share messages, tagged by topic and curated by your ministry leaders. Students pick one — or set several to rotate. Never appears for non-faith orgs.
Designated giving by default
Every campaign represents a designated purpose — mission trip, camp scholarship, building fund, benevolence — so donors know exactly what they gave to.
Most churches pick
Default — Open Share (60 / 20 / 20)
Most churches pick Default — the congregation, families, and friends become natural sharers, and the campaign always keeps 60%. Multi-campus churches and sister-church networks often love Share-a-thon Club, where the sharer 20% builds a Share Fund that pays back as you bring other ministries in.

The fundraisers leaders run on Share-a-thon.
Summer mission trips
Domestic and international trips with per-student progress and admin-approved updates from the field.
Camp scholarships
Send a student or family to summer camp — with scholarship applications and donor matching built in.
Youth retreats & conferences
Fall and spring retreats, conference travel, ministry events — funded before the season instead of during it.
Building & capital projects
Designated capital campaigns alongside ongoing operating support, with clear separation of funds.
Benevolence funds
Restricted-purpose giving for community needs, with discreet recipient handling and clear reporting to the board.
Missionary & ministry partner support
Support missionaries, partner ministries, or seasonal community outreach with designated campaigns.
Optional · faith-based orgs
ScriptureGrams: a sponsor-curated verse library your students can share.
Your ministry leaders curate the verses once. Students attach them to share asks. Opt-in at the org level — never auto-generated.

I'm asking you to stand with us — and I'm holding onto this.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
Safety & oversight
Built for leaders who care about doing this well.
Pastoral oversight at every step
Youth pastors and ministry leaders are the admins. Every public student share is reviewed and approved before it goes out.
Student-safe by default
First names only on public pages. Photos and last names only with pastoral approval per campaign.
ScriptureGrams stay admin-curated
Verses are added or edited by your ministry leaders — never auto-generated, never AI-pulled. Opt-in only at the org level.
Anyone in the congregation can share
Members, friends, and family can share a campaign and earn a flat 20% when their share brings in a donation. One level. No recruiting.
What people usually ask
The good questions, answered.
- Who approves what students share publicly?
- A youth pastor or designated ministry leader (the admin) reviews every public share before it goes out, with full visibility into the message and recipient list.
- Can donors give to a specific mission trip or scholarship?
- Yes. Each campaign represents one designated purpose. Donors see exactly what they're giving to, and reporting tracks funds against that purpose for board review.
- Whose name is on the donor receipt?
- When the campaign organization is a registered 501(c)(3), donor receipts reflect that organization. Share-a-thon is the processing platform, not the receiving charity.
