Why is it worth organising fundraising events in schools?

In addition to the natural, material benefits for the Organiser, fundraising events have many advantages of which we are not aware:

  • Develop creativity by challenging students to design a campaign that will attract the attention of as many people as possible. 

  • They teach budget management and finding effective and low-cost solutions.

  • They are a practical lesson in entrepreneurship and help validate students' first business ideas.

  • Build empathy by helping to see the needs of donors and beneficiaries of a fundraising event.

School is a safe place for students to learn about fundraising. They can also see how their efforts make a difference in important goals. By seeking donors, students organising a fundraising event can get to know their teachers, parents and the local community better.

A simple moneybox collection is not always enough to raise sufficient funds. Sometimes involving the whole team in an attractive event is necessary. Organising a fundraising event is a practical lesson in teamwork, management and responsibility that students will remember for a long time. Check out our fundraising ideas and raise funds locally or online with ease!

How do you raise funds for school expenses?

Two things are most important in a fundraising campaign - a creative idea and efficient tools. 

School fundraisers will make the most money by giving something to the community. School staff and visiting parents are sure to enjoy buying homemade cakes, coffee and tea at the bake sale. Fans of eco-friendliness will be delighted to take part in the second-hand clothing and accessories fair.

Family and friends of the pupils are also keen to help. Seeing the children involved will surely encourage many people to make small donations!

Students will gladly contribute to the school party or movie night. Fundraiser coordinators may sell tickets for those events. The small fee will help the school or club's budget and won't deter those interested from participating in the event.

To succeed in these ventures, you need to reach many people, handle payments, and provide billing after the fundraiser. This is where the resources provided by 4fund.com step in to save the day!

Using the fundraising platform 4fund.com can make running a school fundraiser significantly easier. All you need to do is pass a short verification and complete the fundraising description to unlock donations!


You can conveniently send your fundraising link to other parents or students via WhatsApp, Messenger, email or SMS. You can also print a QR code for donors to make cashless payments when you meet them in person.

View of the 'share' window. Heading "Your sharing matters". Visible option to share the fundraiser on Facebook, linkedin, messenger and twitter. Below that, a copyable link to the fundraiser and a box for email addresses to directly send the link in a message.

On 4fund.com, you can donate money using credit cards, Google Pay or Apple Pay. 

With 4fund.com, you always have your money at hand, as the platform processes withdrawals to payment cards in the blink of an eye! And most importantly, you don't pay commission on deposits and withdrawals, so all the money raised goes to your goal. 

What other facilities does 4fund.com offer? For example, the ability to instantly generate a poster with a QR code leading to the fundraiser.

The poster includes the main photo of the fundraiser, next to the amount to be raised. Below the goal of the fundraiser and an excerpt from the description. At the very bottom, the QR code and link to the fundraiser

Posters are a great way to publicise fundraiser activities taking place in school. Students can hang them up in school corridors, neighbouring streets and even reach the local businesses. Nearby people will have the opportunity to support the school's collection. They can do that by scanning the QR code on the poster and going straight to the fundraiser website.

Using 4fund.com, you can also easily hold a school auction and invite people who could not attend the event to participate. To achieve that, add a reward to your fundraiser and select 'Auction' in the 'Sel type' field.

Sell types: on the left "Buy now", on the right "Auction"

4fund.com will automatically notify you of each new raise, update the price and at the end, name the winner. The winner's information will be sent to your email. You can then arrange to give them the item at school or elsewhere.
