PTA and PTO fundraising

PTA fundraising that doesn't burn out your volunteers

Your board changes every year and everyone is a volunteer. HooRaise is simple enough for a new treasurer to pick up in one evening, and it does the follow-ups for you.

Built for volunteer boards

Share the work

Add co-organizers so the president, treasurer and room parents can all help. Everyone sees the same live progress.

Reminders you don't have to send

Friendly texts and emails go to the families' supporters on a schedule, and stop as soon as someone gives.

A seat for your treasurer

Add your treasurer to see only the money: every gift and fee, a printable summary and a QuickBooks file. Cash and checks you record count toward the goal.

Easy to hand off next year

Past campaigns stay in your account, and returning families can bring back last year's supporters in one click.

Three PTA favorites, all in one place

Annual fund drive

One goal for the year, with milestones like "$5,000 buys new library books." Goals stretch when you hit them.

How it works

Read-a-thon or fun run

Every student gets a page their family shares. Classes compete on their totals.

A-thons

Silent auction

A week of online bidding that wraps up at your family night. Winners check out automatically.

School silent auctions

  1. 1

    Create your page

    Add your goal, a photo and a few lines about what the money is for. It stays private until you publish.

  2. 2

    Invite your families

    Share one link or import a list. Families set up their own pages and add the people they know.

  3. 3

    Watch it climb

    We send the reminders and the receipts. You cheer on the progress, then get paid in full.

Questions PTAs and PTOs ask

Can more than one board member manage the fundraiser?

Yes. Add as many co-organizers as you like. They can edit the campaign, add families and send updates.

Can we run a silent auction and take donations at the same time?

Yes. Add a silent auction to a group fundraiser or to a read-a-thon with student pages. Donations and auction sales count toward the same goal.

What does it cost?

It's free to start, with one small fee on what you raise. Donors can choose to cover it, so your PTA can keep every dollar.

Do supporters get a tax receipt?

Yes. Receipts go out automatically, with your organization's name and tax ID once your nonprofit status is verified.

Can parents ask their employer to match a gift?

Yes, once your PTA is verified. Donors add their employer at checkout and get the details their employer needs, plus one reminder a few days later. Matches go straight to your PTA.

How long does setup take?

Most organizers are ready in one evening. Your page stays private until you publish it.
