See what other parents and schools are saying about us!
At LAUNCH 2025, PTA leaders in Texas shared real challenges: high fundraising fees, volunteer burnout, and declining memberships. Title I schools in particular are losing critical funds to third-party fees, while volunteers struggle with fragmented tools. Parents want to engage but need clearer, easier ways to do so. These conversations highlight the need for platforms like FutureFund to remain free for schools, simplify volunteer work, and help PTAs grow their membership by embracing modern solutions.
Selling concessions at school should be fun—not stressful. Stop struggling with cash and cut down long lines by using Snackbar to take contactless payments and track sales in our free fundraising platform for K-12 schools.
Run a Sign-Up campaign with FutureFund to efficiently enroll students in programs. No more room? Just use our built-in Waitlisting feature to track how many more people want to participate and notify them when spots become available. You’ll never be over capacity for a club or program again!
Streamline the way you set up fundraising campaigns and reach parents in your school community more effectively. FutureFund shows you the improvements we’ve made to our campaign forms and message delivery metrics to give you more useful information.
FutureFund now allows school groups to sell season passes, or tie ticket purchases/redemptions to forms (such as a waiver for a school event or dance). We’ve also built-in Cash App support, making it even easier for people to pay or donate to your fundraising campaigns!
