Make Membership Easy to Manage

We built FutureFund specifically to support K-12 PTAs and school groups. Our team are 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.

FutureFund collects the following data when new members sign up:

• Name
• Address
• Phone number
• Email address

You can also add custom sections to all registration forms in case your school group requires specific details other than the above.

When parent volunteers sign up, they can also choose whether to make this information visible to the entire school, a specific grade level, or class—or they can choose to keep it private.

Yes! Parents can register their children when they sign up. FutureFund will collect the following information and make it visible to administrators with the correct permissions:

• Name
• Grade
• Registration status

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 makes use of current technologies designed to provide extra layers of security when handling sensitive information. These include:

• TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer): These are cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure communication over a network by encrypting data in transit between client and server.
• WAF and DDOS Protection (Web Application Firewall and Distributed Denial of Service Protection): These are security measures to protect websites from harmful traffic, with WAF filtering, monitoring, and blocking HTTP traffic to and from a web application, and DDOS protection preventing overload of a network or server by a flood of internet traffic.
• Penetration Testing: This is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating attacks from malicious sources to identify vulnerabilities.
• Load Balancer Based Compute Isolations: This is a strategy of distributing network or application traffic across many servers to improve responsiveness and availability, while isolating workloads for security and fault tolerance.
• Role-based Access Control: This is a method of regulating access to computer network resources based on the roles of individual users within an organization, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access specific resources.
• Secure Logging: This is the process of recording events in a system in a manner that prevents tampering or deletion, providing a reliable record for security auditing and incident response.
• Static and Dynamic Code Analysis: These are methods of examining source code or running applications to find potential security vulnerabilities, with static analysis checking code without executing it, and dynamic analysis testing code while it’s running in a real or simulated environment.
• OWASP Secure Coding Principles (Open Web Application Security Project): These are a set of principles and best practices for secure coding aimed at preventing security vulnerabilities in web applications, as defined by the non-profit OWASP organization.
• Credit Card Tokenization: This is an advanced security process that protects sensitive payment information during transactions.

FutureFund’s built-in messaging system lets you:

• Build specific sender profiles to connect with your audience
• Keep custom email lists for different audiences (members, parents, pledge campaign participants, etc.)
• Customize and use templates for different message types (campaign updates, donation requests, event bulletins, etc.)
• Track sent messages by time and date sent
• View the number of recipients your messages reach to improve future communications
