Paper forms get lost. Online signups don't.
Every PTA knows the drill: send home membership forms, hope they make it back, chase down checks, manually enter data into spreadsheets. It's a lot of work, and forms slip through the cracks.
When you take membership online, parents can join from their phone while sitting in the pickup line. No forms to lose, no checks to deposit, no data entry.

At back-to-school night, from the carpool lane, or at 11pm after the kids are finally asleep. Your membership drive never closes.
No more deciphering handwriting or chasing down incomplete forms. Every membership goes straight into your database, ready to use.
Credit card, debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or even cash and check for families who prefer it. More payment options means fewer barriers to joining.
Amador Valley Football
Raises $34,000 with a Lift-a-Thon
In August 2025, one school football team in Pleasanton, CA raised over $34,000 in a single two-week Lift-A-Thon. This helped them to wipe out the debt they owed their school district and provide them with discretionary funds to upgrade equipment and purchase new uniforms.

Why PTAs switch to FutureFund for membership
