Seeking alumni donations isn’t just about fundraising—it’s about connecting with former students. By tapping into emotional motivators like nostalgia, recognition, and shared impact, you can inspire former students to stay engaged and give back.
Unlocking student potential through school fundraisers
FutureFund is a privately owned and operated comprehensive online fundraising and selling platform made exclusively for schools, districts, and PTAs.
Originally created in 2014 to help one school improve their student dues collection and start-of-year fundraising, we now proudly support more than 1,250 school groups across America raise more than $16 million every year.
Enrich the lives of students everywhere
We exist to empower schools and communities to invest in their students.
By providing the technology and expertise school groups need to run successful fundraisers, sell online, and simplify volunteer activities, we work to improve student outcomes everywhere.
