The Grad Party Fund: One Send-Off, Planned by Everyone
Pool the family's graduation money on one calendar. Everyone claims a date as their gift — Day 3 = $3 — and the grad gets one meaningful send-off toward the laptop, the dorm, or the first-apartment fund.

Caps, diplomas, and gold stars — watch family and friends claim dates in real time.
Help Plan Jordan's Grad Party
The party after the tassel turn. Day 3 = $3.
Graduation gifts arrive as a dozen cards with a dozen checks, and somehow it still doesn't add up to a laptop. A graduation gift fund pools the same generosity onto one calendar — every relative claims a date, the date is the gift, and the grad gets one send-off that actually launches something.
An online calendar fundraiser pools the whole family's send-off — every relative claims a date, wherever they live.
The date is the gift
Cousins take small dates, godparents take big ones, and grandparents always want the ceremony date itself. A filled month reaches $465–$496 — a real dent in dorm shopping or a first month's rent.
Why it beats a stack of cards
- One number, one purpose. "The laptop fund" beats twelve loose checks.
- The board is the keepsake. Every giver's name on their date — the graduation card the whole family signed.
- Distance doesn't matter. The aunt two time zones away claims her date from her phone.
Timing tips
- Launch when announcements go out; close the day of the party.
- Put the goal in the fund's name: "Maya's Dorm Fund."
- Reveal the filled board at the party — right before the cake.
