Online calendar fundraiser for Christmas — advent board with ornaments and gifts

Run a December fundraiser shaped like the season - an advent-style calendar where supporters claim dates (Day 3 = $3), or a Trim-the-Tree board where every gift hangs an ornament.

See it live - the Christmas calendar

Ornaments, gifts, and December cheer - watch the season fill in real time.

Open — price is the dateSelectedClaimed & glowing

December is the only month with a countdown built into its bones. A Christmas fundraiser calendar borrows it: every day of Advent is a claimable date, the 25th is the crescendo, and the whole thing reads like the season instead of like a fundraiser.

An online calendar fundraiser fits December like a glove — an advent of giving your supporters open from anywhere.

Two ways to run December

The Christmas calendar

The classic mechanic in seasonal dress: claim Day 6, give $6; claim Christmas Day, give $25. Ornaments and gifts decorate the board, and the claimed dates glow as the month fills.

Trim the Tree

The showpiece: every gift hangs a real ornament on a shared animated tree. Supporters watch it fill all month, and the star goes on top when the goal is reached. Churches and schools love it because the giving is literally visible.

December advantages

  • Peak generosity - year-end giving mood plus a hard deadline.
  • Natural channels - bulletins, newsletters, and family gatherings all in season.
  • The 25th sells first - and someone always wants the star.

Your organization keeps 100% of calendar donations - donors pay a small service fee at checkout, shown before they pay. Free to build; connect a payout account to go live.
