K-12 Schools
Modern fundraising built for schools — designed for the parents, alumni, and community members who support them.
86% of donors cover all transaction fees
School foundations and booster clubs face the same challenges as any nonprofit — but with the added complexity of serving an audience that's constantly busy, mobile-first, and skeptical of yet another giving platform.
Custom Donations provides fully branded, parent-friendly giving forms that reflect your school's identity and make giving as easy as a few taps on a phone.

Purpose-built features for the unique rhythms of K-12 fundraising.
Annual Fund Campaigns
Run your annual parent and alumni giving campaign with a dedicated, branded form. Set goal amounts, track progress in real time, and keep donors engaged with milestone updates.
Directed Giving
Let donors designate their gift to athletics, arts, technology, a specific grade, or any program they care about. Unlimited fund designations per form — no extra charge.
Alumni Giving
Reconnect with graduates and encourage giving back with alumni-specific forms. Personalized ask amounts based on class year and giving history make every outreach relevant.
Parent-Friendly Forms
Simple, mobile-first forms designed for busy parents. Apple Pay and Google Pay support means they can give in 10 seconds from the school newsletter or text message.
Mobile-First Design
Most parents open school emails on their phone. Our forms load instantly and work perfectly on every device — phone, tablet, or desktop.
Recurring Gifts
Monthly giving programs build a predictable funding base for your school foundation. Set it once, and automatic billing keeps supporters giving year after year.
Fully Branded
Your school's colors, logo, and voice — not ours. Forms that look like they belong on your school's website build the credibility that converts visitors into donors.
Every Payment Method
Accept credit/debit, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. More payment options mean fewer abandoned gifts — critical when you're reaching busy parents on the go.
Campaign Analytics
Track participation rates, gift totals by fund, and year-over-year comparisons. Export data to share with your board or foundation leadership.
BlueRidge Data Partnership
Our data enrichment partnership helps you reach more alumni and prospective donors by filling gaps in your contact records and identifying high-capacity supporters.
Challenge & Matching Gifts
Create challenge match moments — a board member or major donor pledges to match gifts up to a certain amount. Our forms show progress toward unlocking the match in real time.
Multiple Campaigns at Once
Run the annual fund, a capital campaign, and a booster club drive simultaneously — each with its own form, goal, and reporting — without them interfering with each other.
One platform. Every campaign your school runs.
No extra subscriptions. Run all your campaigns from a single dashboard.
Annual Fund / School Foundation
The cornerstone of your school's private support — an always-on form anchored to your annual campaign goal.
Athletics Booster Club
Dedicated giving to sports programs, equipment, uniforms, travel, and coaching.
Fine Arts & Performing Arts
Fund band, orchestra, theater, and visual arts programs with designated giving.
Technology & STEM
Specific giving for devices, lab equipment, and STEM initiative funding.
Capital Campaigns
Multi-year campaigns for buildings, renovations, and major facility investments.
Endowed Scholarships
Named scholarship funds with cumulative progress toward an endowment threshold.
BlueRidge Data Partnership
Our partnership with BlueRidge Data provides data enrichment to help you reach more potential donors. Identify high-capacity alumni, fill in missing contact information, and target your outreach to people most likely to give — before your next campaign launches.
