Frequently asked questions
I don’t run a traditional “school”—can I still use FutureFund?
Yes—FutureFund is designed to support a wide variety of organizations, including nonprofits, athletic groups, tutoring programs, and more.

Once you’ve done that, it’s a breeze to add or edit items in your school store, add custom forms and waivers, and send updates to your community. FutureFund lets you do it all in one place—and we also provide support along the way to make sure you get set up and running smoothly.

Does my school pay fees or commission on items we sell?
No—we made FutureFund a donor-funded platform to keep it 100% free for schools. When customers purchase an item from your store, they pay a small fee as a percentage of the order total. These fees help cover our platform costs.
What student information can FutureFund track for my microschool?
You can use FutureFund as a mini student information hub to keep contact info, health forms, and other essentials in a secure database. This reduces the amount of data your microschool has to track with different platforms, saving you time and money while making your records more accurate.
Can I control who has access to specific records?
Absolutely! FutureFund allows you to customize role-based permissions so that school staff and other stakeholders only have access to the specific records they need.
How do I add FutureFund links to my microschool’s existing website?
Easy! Each campaign you create in FutureFund comes with a link you can share. Just embed that link in a button on your school website, and anyone who clicks it will be instantly taken to the campaign page—where they can sign up for programs, make purchases, and support your students.
How does being online help my microschool?
Staff in microschools have to manage countless forms, records, and responsibilities—all without the systems commonly available to larger schools. FutureFund provides a single platform that makes it easy to collect the money and information your microschool needs to thrive.
Does FutureFund work for microschools with small classes or different schedules?
Yes! No two microschools are alike, so FutureFund is designed to accommodate your unique mission and vision. Our flexible features provide more choice for you so you can continue providing more choice for the parents and families in your community.
Does FutureFund help me track and fulfill orders when I make sales?
You bet! FutureFund updates your inventory whenever you make a sale and lets you fulfill orders online in a single click—so you can keep better track of what you’ve sold and focus on fundraising.
