Never give what you raise to an outside company again
Traditional done-for-you fundraising companies charge 25–60%+ of what your team raises. That means a $10,000 fundraiser might only put $4,000–$6,000 in your hands.
FutureFund flips that model. Donors cover a small platform fee so that teams and schools don't pay anything.

FutureFund is donor-supported. Small processing fees are paid by donors at checkout, not by your school. That means every dollar your athletes raise goes directly to equipment, travel, uniforms, or whatever your team needs most.
When you eliminate the middleman, your team raises more. Schools using FutureFund’s A-Thon tools consistently outperform traditional “done-for-you” fundraising companies by at least 20%. Some teams raise $250 or more per student.

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... enough to wipe out the debt they owed their school district and provide them with discretionary funds to upgrade equipment and purchase new uniforms.
Every fundraiser is always free when you power it with FutureFund, so every pound you lift and every dollar you raise goes where you need it most.

Frequently asked questions
Cash concession stands technically work. But they also mean long lines, miscounts, and hours spent reconciling at the end of the night. SnackBar replaces all of that with contactless payments that are faster for customers and easier for volunteers. And because it's part of FutureFund, there's nothing to budget for and no contract to sign.
SnackBar is a free point-of-sale app from FutureFund designed for K-12 schools. Volunteers download the app to an iPhone, connect it to your FutureFund account, and start accepting contactless payments immediately. They select items on the screen as customers order, the customer taps to pay, and the transaction is recorded automatically.
SnackBar is free for schools. FutureFund is a donor-supported platform, so schools never pay platform fees. A small processing fee is added to each transaction and paid by the purchaser, not the school. There are no contracts, subscriptions, or hidden costs.
SnackBar is built for K-12 school groups that sell items in person: booster clubs running concession stands, PTAs selling spirit wear, teams collecting at bake sales, or any school group that needs a fast and simple way to accept payments at events.
SnackBar accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit cards, and debit cards through Tap-to-Pay on iPhone. You can also record cash and check payments as offline transactions in FutureFund to keep all your records in one place.
No. Volunteers download the SnackBar app and connect to your organization's FutureFund account. They don't need their own account or any special setup. This makes it easy to rotate volunteers during events without any disruption.
Yes. You manage your concession inventory through your FutureFund account. Each sale through SnackBar automatically updates your inventory count, so you always know what's been sold and what's still available.
Absolutely. SnackBar handles payments for anything you're selling in person: spirit wear, yearbooks, bake sale items, dance tickets, and more. Set up a new inventory list in your FutureFund account and start selling at any event.
FutureFund uses bank-level encryption and is built to comply with PCI DSS requirements for payment processing. Sensitive payment data is handled securely and never stored on volunteers' devices.
Contactless payments through SnackBar average 15 seconds per transaction, compared to 90 seconds for cash. Faster lines mean more customers served, more sales, and a better experience for everyone.
