Coordination with companies, volunteer recruitment, promotion and marketing, staff coordination, venue preparation – it all adds up!
The popular "take fundraising off your hands" companies are known to charge teams between 25 - 50% of the funds your community donates.
Most families and community members would rather give to your team's fundraiser, rather than have to buy something.
With a simple click, school teams can generate a printable flyer for their online fundraising campaigns that can be posted around the school and throughout the community. The flyer is equipped with a custom QR-code that allows donors to simply Scan-and-Give to the campaign in seconds. Additionally, teams can use the QR code on other printed materials (like posters, stickers, and banners), digital advertisements, newsletters, and more.
Livingtree Give offers a one-of-a-kind feature, that allows school school teams to quickly build a database of potential donors. With the Contact Collector, you can submit a request to your current contacts (donors, organization members, family, friends, etc.) to share the contact information of people they know who might be willing to donate to your campaign. Once submitted, those contacts are populated into your Livingtree Give Contacts database. This tool offers teams a way to exponentially grow their contact database and reach new donors.
School teams can sell items easier with their own online store through Livingtree Give. School teams can sell supplies, event tickets, spirit wear, school apparel, merchandise, fundraising goods, and more! Teams are able to set start and end dates, customize store item details, set maximum per-order item quantities, and download transaction reports to fulfill and reconcile orders.
