Complement, don't replace
Share-a-thon handles the peer-to-peer, student-led campaigns that typically sit outside the formal annual fund. Advancement keeps its lane; students get the right tool for theirs.
For colleges & universities
Student-led campaigns that complement the advancement office.
Built for Greek philanthropy, club sports, student organizations, mission-based campus ministries, and academic teams. Peer-to-peer by design — sitting alongside the formal annual fund, not competing with it.
What this looks like for colleges
Built around how you already work.
Multi-chapter ready
Greek councils, intramural leagues, and umbrella organizations can run a single coordinated campaign across chapters and earn collectively.
Cooperative pool by design
Especially valuable when multiple chapters or orgs fundraise in the same window — they earn back from each other instead of cannibalizing the same donor base.
Most colleges pick
Club Extreme (40 / 20 / 20 / 20)
Colleges and student organizations are natural fits for Club Extreme — parents and students do the sharing and get rewarded (ACH or digital gift card), while another 20% builds the Share Fund for sister chapters. Default is the simpler alternative for groups that want a higher campaign share.

The fundraisers leaders run on Share-a-thon.
Greek philanthropy weeks
Fraternities and sororities running their philanthropy week with per-member tracking and chapter leaderboards.
Club sports travel
Conference travel, nationals, equipment, and coaching for non-NCAA club programs.
Student org operations
Annual operating support, conference attendance, speaker fees, and event budgets for academic and cultural orgs.
Mission & service trips
Alternative spring break, service learning trips, faith-based mission teams from campus ministries.
Academic competition teams
Mock trial, debate, model UN, robotics, business case competitions — funded by alumni and family networks.
Class & affinity gifts
Senior class gifts, reunion-class campaigns, and affinity-group campaigns coordinated with advancement.
Safety & oversight
Built for leaders who care about doing this well.
Clear NIL boundaries
Campaigns raise funds for the organization, never for individual student-athletes personally. Share-a-thon does not facilitate NIL transactions.
Advisor approval workflow
Each org has a faculty or staff advisor as the admin. Every public student share is reviewed and approved before it goes out.
Built for chapters & councils
Greek councils and umbrella orgs can run shared parent campaigns with each chapter as a sub-team — leaderboards and pool credits flow accordingly.
Alumni-friendly receipting
When the receiving organization is a registered 501(c)(3), donor receipts reflect that — important for alumni who track charitable giving.
