Example for schools
Common fundraising goals
One platform, built around the goal your group actually has.
Arts & activities
Fund instruments, costumes, club supplies, performances, and after-school programs.
Campus improvements
Make progress toward playground equipment, classroom upgrades, and shared spaces visible.
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.
No inventory to manage
Skip catalogs, order forms, pickup days, and boxes of unsold products.
Easy for families to share
One campaign link works in the school newsletter, class email, or family group chat.
A goal students can see
Each contribution advances the board, turning support into visible progress.
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
Name the school goal
Explain what the group is funding and choose a board size and range of contribution levels.
-
2
Share with your community
Send the campaign link through the channels families already use.
-
3
Follow the board
Track completed contributions and share the progress as more of the goal is funded.
Questions from schools
Good to know before you start.
For details about pricing, payments, and campaign rules, visit the full FAQ.
Can a PTA or booster group run the school fundraiser?+−
Yes. The organizing group can create the campaign and connect its eligible Stripe account for payments. The group is responsible for using the correct organization and payout details.
Do students need to collect cash or deliver products?+−
No. Supporters contribute at an available amount online and complete payment through Stripe-hosted checkout. There is no product inventory or delivery step.
Can we use one board for a specific class or team?+−
Yes. A campaign can focus on one classroom, grade, club, band, team, trip, or school-wide project. A specific goal usually makes the page easier to explain and share.
