One platform, every season
Run fall sports, winter band, spring trips, and end-of-year campaigns from one organization profile. Reporting and donors carry across.
For schools & PTOs
Fundraising your whole school community can rally behind.
Built for K-12 schools, PTAs, PTOs, booster clubs, athletic departments, band, choir, and academic teams. FERPA-aware defaults, admin-approved sharing, and a flat 20% thank-you to whoever's share brings in the donation — without monthly fees, paper forms, or door-to-door asks.
What this looks like for schools
Built around how you already work.
Coaches & teachers as admins
Each admin reviews and approves what students send out. Students never share publicly without an adult signing off first.
Board-ready reporting
Per-campaign and per-organization exports for finance committee review. Every dollar is traceable from donor to payout.
Print-ready one-pagers with QR code
Pick a designed template, drop in your headline, and download a print-ready PDF flyer with your campaign QR code — perfect for backpack mail and parent pickup.
Most schools pick
Default — Open Share (60 / 20 / 20)
Parents, alumni, neighbors, and family friends are your natural sharers. Default keeps it simple — the campaign always keeps 60%, and whoever's share brought in the gift gets a 20% reward (ACH or digital gift card). District booster groups that often partner with other schools may prefer Share-a-thon Club instead.

The fundraisers leaders run on Share-a-thon.
Varsity team travel
Tournament travel, equipment refreshes, championship send-offs — funded without raffle envelopes in backpacks.
Marching band & choir trips
Spring competitions, summer camps, festival travel — with parent-friendly digital giving and shareable updates.
Robotics & academic teams
Regional and national competition costs covered through campaigns parents, alumni, and the broader community can all share.
PTO general fund
Annual giving, teacher appreciation, classroom supplies, and event sponsorship — without scrip catalogs or cookie dough.
Senior class projects
Yearbook subsidies, senior trip, graduation events — with leaderboards that turn the class into the team.
Field trips & enrichment
Restricted-purpose campaigns ensure designated funds stay tied to the trip or program donors gave for.
Safety & oversight
Built for leaders who care about doing this well.
FERPA-aware by default
First name only on public pages. Last names, photos, and grade level never appear unless an admin explicitly enables them for a campaign.
Admin approves every public share
Coaches and teachers review the message and recipient list before any student-led share goes out — with a clear record you can hand to your finance committee.
Payouts straight to the school account
Funds settle to your school, PTO, or booster club's connected bank account. Standard ACH, no middleman holding funds indefinitely.
Works alongside existing booster clubs
Run school and booster campaigns side-by-side. Anyone can share either one and earn a flat 20% when their share brings in a donation.
What people usually ask
The good questions, answered.
- Will our school board be comfortable with this?
- Yes — boards typically appreciate the transparent pricing, the built-in admin approval, the fact that no public student PII is exposed by default, and that every dollar is traceable. We're happy to share a one-page summary for your next meeting.
- How does Share-a-thon handle FERPA?
- Student profiles default to first name only. Photos and last names never publish unless an admin explicitly enables them. No academic records are stored on the platform.
- Will district IT need to install or integrate anything?
- No installs and no integrations. Share-a-thon is a web app that works in any modern browser. We can supply a security overview for IT review.
