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.

An easy PTA fundraiser means:
- No inventory
- No door-to-door selling
