5 Online Fundraiser Platform Ideas for Schools

Keep online fundraising simple with these all-in-one solutions.

What is a fundraising platform? The software makes a secure collection of money in exchange for products or donations possible. With a donor-centric point of view, donors can quickly, easily, and securely support causes that are important to them.

Raising money requires strategies to ensure money is available throughout the school year. Finding a solution that fits your strengths and resources can be stressful. The best fundraiser platform ideas allow schools to expand their reach nationwide and provide many services. By choosing a virtual platform, you are no longer limited to the range of person-to-person contact and can enjoy the power of contactless fundraising.

Did you know that schools have far more available to them than the in-person sales options of the past? You can sell food, household items, customizable gifts, and more. Many fundraiser platform solutions in the marketplace have transformed how groups raise money.

Our school customers love these five accessible online fundraising platforms. Best of all, BFI offers free prize incentives to help drive sales!
