Why Pick A Square

Fundraising that feels like shared progress.

Every campaign starts with a real goal and a board of available contribution amounts. There is no product catalog, supporter account requirement, or chance-based prize.

Easy member handoff

One link and a clear goal make it simple for the whole club to participate in outreach.

Works beyond campus

Students can share the same board with alumni, family, friends, and community partners.

Progress for the next meeting

The filling board gives officers and members a quick visual campaign update.

No inventory

Nothing to buy, store, or deliver.

One link

Simple for organizers and supporters.

Visible progress

Every contribution moves the board closer to the goal.

How it works

From idea to shareable board in three steps.

  1. 1

    Choose the semester goal

    Create a campaign for one event, trip, competition, project, or equipment need.

  2. 2

    Activate the membership

    Share the board in club channels and give members a consistent link for outreach.

  3. 3

    Bring progress back to the group

    Use the campaign board in meetings and updates while contribution levels remain available.

Questions from college clubs

Good to know before you start.

For details about pricing, payments, and campaign rules, visit the full FAQ.

Should the club connect a student’s personal Stripe account?+

Use the Stripe account that accurately represents the eligible person or organization responsible for receiving funds. Student organizations should follow their campus rules and confirm the appropriate account before launching.

Can alumni and family members contribute?+

Yes. Anyone with the public campaign link can view the goal and contribute at an available amount, subject to checkout availability and the campaign terms.

Can we create a new campaign for each semester or event?+

Yes. Clubs can use separate campaigns for distinct goals so each board has a focused purpose and its own progress.

Put the next campus goal on the board.

Create the campaign, share one link, and let every supporter help at an amount that works for them.
