It’s that time of year again—school is back in session, and along with it comes the ever-important task of fundraising. Whether you’re a PTA member, a teacher, or part of a student group looking to raise money for school events, trips, or new equipment, managing school fundraisers can be overwhelming. But what if I told you there’s a way to make it easier, more efficient, and way less stressful? That’s where Payable Forms comes in!
Payable Forms is here to take the hassle out of school fundraising, whether you’re organizing bake sales, collecting donations, or selling spirit wear. Let’s explore a few ways your school can benefit from using Payable Forms to streamline your fundraising efforts. We have tons of templates to help you get started too!
1. Fundraising Events: Keep It Organized 🎉
Organizing a school carnival, bake sale, or talent show to raise money? Payable Forms is your new best friend! Create custom forms where parents, teachers, and students can sign up for event tickets, select shifts to volunteer, or purchase goodies in advance.
With Payable Forms, you can collect payments directly through the form—no need for students or teachers to manage cash or checks. And because it’s all digital, you’ll have instant access to all the information in one place, making it easy to track payments, attendees, and volunteers.
Bonus: You can even send automatic email reminders to volunteers or event attendees with all the details they need. No more last-minute phone calls or frantic emails trying to organize everyone!
2. Selling Spirit Wear? Done! 👕
Want to build school spirit while raising some funds? Selling school-branded clothing and accessories is a popular and fun way to raise money for student activities. Payable Forms makes it a breeze to set up an online store for selling spirit wear like t-shirts, hoodies, and water bottles. Parents and students can order and pay directly online, and you can easily track which items have been purchased and when they need to be delivered.
With customizable forms, you can let customers select their sizes, choose from various color options, and even add personalization like student names or sports numbers. Your school can focus on spreading school pride while Payable Forms handles the nitty-gritty logistics.
3. Direct Donations: No Sweat 💸
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. If your school is looking to raise money for a specific cause—whether it’s new playground equipment, a library makeover, or funding for a class trip—why not make it easy for supporters to donate directly? With Payable Forms, you can create a donation page that allows parents, local businesses, and alumni to contribute securely and quickly online.
You can set suggested donation amounts, or leave it open for people to donate what they can. And since Payable Forms integrates payment processing, you won’t have to worry about collecting checks or chasing people down for pledges. It’s all done in a few clicks!
4. Track Raffle Tickets and Silent Auctions 🎟️
Raffles and silent auctions are tried-and-true methods for raising money, but they can also be difficult to organize. Payable Forms can simplify the process by helping you create a seamless way to sell raffle tickets or track auction bids. You can use the form to accept ticket purchases or bids online, then follow up with participants via email for confirmation and instructions.
No need to deal with paper tickets or complex spreadsheets—everything is tracked in real time. Plus, you can easily share the forms on social media, school newsletters, or directly with parents to maximize participation.
5. Manage Class Trips and Club Fees 🚌
Whether it’s a trip to the local museum or a weeklong adventure to a historical site, class trips often require collecting payments, waivers, and permission slips. Payable Forms lets you handle all of this in one place. You can create a single form for trip sign-ups, fee payments, and waiver submissions, so there’s no more scrambling for lost paperwork or missing payments.
The same goes for school clubs! Manage membership dues, activity fees, and even student council events all through easy-to-create forms. Parents will appreciate the convenience, and you’ll love the efficiency.
