The Real Cost of Traditional PTA Fundraising
From wrapping paper sales to walk-a-thons, traditional fundraising has long been a staple of school support but comes at a cost: hours of prep, upfront expenses, and one-off events that don’t solve long-term needs.
They raise money but drain time, energy, and enthusiasm.
What Makes a PTA Fundraiser “Easy”?
An easy PTA fundraiser means:
- No inventory
- No door-to-door selling
- No event logistics
- No spreadsheets
The best solutions are automated, mobile-friendly, and built for busy parents, working in the background to generate recurring funds.
