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.

One source of truth

Everyone shares the same campaign page, goal, and current board progress.

No fundraising kit required

The group can start with its story and a link instead of inventory and order forms.

Built for collective sharing

Each member can carry the same clear ask into a different circle.

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

    Agree on the goal

    Choose the specific group expense and the organizer responsible for the campaign.

  2. 2

    Give everyone the link

    Let each member share the same board with friends, family, and local networks.

  3. 3

    Use the board as your update

    Return to the visible progress when the group checks in or shares again.

Questions from small groups

Good to know before you start.

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

Does a small group need to be a registered nonprofit?+

Not necessarily, but the organizer and connected Stripe account must be eligible, accurate, and appropriate for the campaign. A campaign does not become charitable or tax-deductible merely by appearing on Pick A Square.

Can several members share the same campaign?+

Yes. The public campaign uses one shareable link, so every member can send people to the same board and goal.

Who manages the campaign?+

The signed-in organizer manages campaign setup and reporting. The group should agree in advance on who is responsible for the connected account, communication, and use of funds.

Put the group goal on the board.

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