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. This helped them to wipe out the debt they owed their school district and provide them with discretionary funds to upgrade equipment and purchase new uniforms.

Here's why schools switch to FutureFund for their online store
Many school store platforms charge $20-50 per month whether you sell anything or not. Others take 5-8% of every transaction. Those fees add up fast.
With FutureFund, your school pays nothing. Small transaction fees are covered by buyers, so every dollar of your sales goes exactly where it should: to your school.

FutureFund is free from day one. No trial periods, no credit card required, no surprise charges.
Generic platforms like Shopify weren't designed for PTAs. You shouldn't need workarounds for school year transitions, dues apportionment, or member discounts.
When your treasurer's kid graduates, your store shouldn't go with them. FutureFund's permission system and school session tools make leadership transitions seamless.
