FutureFund is designed by and for school groups to solve the unique fundraising challenges you face.
There are lots of tools designed for fundraising, but FutureFund is the only one built by parents and educators to solve the unique challenges school groups face. Here’s how FutureFund compares to GoFundMe when you look at the costs, benefits, and features:

FutureFund is used by over 1,000+ organizations, including:
Bollinger Elementary & Iron Horse Middle School
“FutureFund is always responsive to questions and suggestions, and added new corporate matching features based on my feedback. We rarely had to wait more than 24 hours for support and always felt taken care of.”
Tassajara Elementary
“FutureFund provides excellent onboarding and support for our organization. The FutureFund Team is based in America and easy to get on a call with to help us troubleshoot problems. Most issues are resolved within 24 hours!”
Unlike other peer-to-peer fundraising platforms, FutureFund was created specifically for PTAs and school groups. Our features are designed to solve the problems parents and educators face every day.
Instead of having paid plans, we charge a small fee to donors as a portion of each payment they make through the platform. This spreads out the cost of our platform to make things easy for community members while allowing school groups to fundraise for free.
With GoFundMe, disputes are resolved without you by the platform administrators or third parties. FutureFund allows you to respond automatically when transactions are disputed, potentially saving you thousands of dollars per year in revenue that would otherwise be lost.
All kinds! While GoFundMe only supports emails and text messages with no built-in templates, we provide users with a built-in messaging system that makes it easy to communicate with parents and volunteers. Everything is customizable—including your audience filters and the sender profiles you use to communicate with them.
We built FutureFund specifically to support K-12 PTAs and school groups. Our team is PTA members ourselves, and we understand the relationships between parents, teachers, and students—so we created tools that solve the unique challenges these groups face when it comes to effectively organizing and fundraising.
Instead of using pre-made templates, FutureFund gives you a variety of easily customizable campaign types to provide specific support for school group fundraisers of all kinds. These include:
Schools that sign up get full access to all of FutureFund’s features—it’s always free and it always will be.
