School Calendar Fundraiser
A school calendar fundraiser gives every day of the month a donation equal to the date — $1 for the 1st, $31 for the 31st. Families and staff pick open dates and give the matching amount online. There's nothing to sell, ship, or hand back — a fully claimed 31-day calendar raises $496 per participant.

Frequently asked questions
How does a calendar fundraiser work for schools?
Every day of the month is worth its date in dollars ($1–$31). Families claim open dates and donate that amount online. Each date is claimed once, so the calendar fills up as people give — a fully claimed 31-day calendar raises $496 per participant.
How much can a school raise with a calendar fundraiser?
It scales with families. A fully claimed calendar is $496; 100 participating families can raise up to $49,600, and even at a realistic 75% fill rate that's about $37,200. Use the calculator to estimate your school's total.
Is it better than a product or catalog fundraiser?
Usually, yes. There's nothing to buy, store, or deliver, no order forms, and you keep 100% of calendar donations. Families just pick a date and give from their phone — and grandparents far away can participate too.
