Frequently asked questions
How is FutureFund different from other Fundraising platforms?
FutureFund is designed by and for parents and teachers. It’s the only fundraising platform completely dedicated to solving the problems PTAs and school groups face every day—and it’s free for schools to use!
How much money can I raise for my team with FutureFund?
It depends on the kind of fundraiser you run—but activity-based “A-Thon” fundraisers can often bring in thousands from a single event with almost no overhead. Here’s how one high-school football team raised over $17k from a single Lift-A-Thon fundraiser.
Does it cost anything to fundraise with FutureFund?
FutureFund is free for school groups to use. We fund our operating and administrative costs with small fees paid by each donor and calculated as a percentage of each transaction. Turnstile users pay a small fee based on the number of tickets sold for each event—see our Digital Ticketing page for more information.
How hard is it to run my first campaign with FutureFund?
We built FutureFund specifically for school groups—so you should be able to set up your first campaign and start raising funds in just a few minutes once you’ve signed up and connected a bank account to receive payouts.
How can I keep track of the money my team raises with FutureFund?
Easy! Our platform automatically tracks every transaction—including donations, pledges, fees, and sales—and updates your records in the admin. You can then generate clean, accurate reports in just a few clicks so that you always have a clear picture of your team’s financial standing.
How does FutureFund keep personal and financial information safe and secure?
FutureFund is built to comply with all major financial regulations and data privacy laws governing PTAs and school groups in the United States. This includes Federal and state-specific legislation, such as:
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA)
The California Consumer Privacy Act
Assembly Bill 1584
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS)
Our platform also uses current technologies designed to provide extra layers of security when handling sensitive information. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
