Do I need my district to officially use SuccessFund in order to run a fundraiser?

Absolutely not. SuccessFund is available to any organizer — regardless of whether their school district has adopted the platform. That includes:

  • School groups (clubs, sports, student councils)
  • Parent organizations (PTAs, PTOs, booster clubs)
  • School districts
  • Brands and businesses
  • Non-profits
  • Community groups

Can I use SuccessFund in any state?

Yes. SuccessFund works in all 50 states. You can start a campaign and run a fundraiser no matter where you’re located in the U.S.

If my district isn’t partnered with SuccessFund, can I still run a fundraiser?

Yes — you can! If you are a school organizer your district does not officially use SuccessFund, the platform will still notify your school that a fundraiser is taking place. That way, your school stays in the loop. If your group, doesn't require school or district approval, it will be approved by the SuccessFund team.

You do not need district or organization-wide adoption to raise funds.

What happens when I submit a fundraiser?

Once you launch your campaign:

  1. You’ll submit it for approval by the SuccessFund team.
  2. In most cases, we review and approve fundraisers within 24 hours.
  3. If your campaign involves a brand-based fundraiser (e.g. a Quick Quack or Swig partnership), the brand will also review and approve your fundraiser before it goes live.

Will my district still need to approve it?

If your district requires approval, yes — that will still take place in line with your normal process. But SuccessFund doesn’t require district-level partnership to host or process your fundraiser.
