No Chasing Anyone Down

Pledges come in with a card attached, so nothing goes uncollected.

Donors pledge per lap, page, or free throw and save a card right then, so the pledge is backed the moment it's made.
Enter what each kid completed and every pledge charges at once, capped at the max that donor set.
No pledge sheets to collect, no texting a neighbor in November about the $40 they promised in September.

Every Student Raises Their Own

They share a link, and it all tracks itself.

Each participant shares their own link with family and friends, and every pledge is automatically credited to them.
Kids and classrooms watch their totals climb in real time, which is what turns it into a competition.
You see who's raised what all the way through, without collecting a single sheet.

Your First A-Thon Can Be This Week

Pick what they're counting, share the link, go.

Read-a-thons, shoot-a-thons, lift-a-thons, or whatever your program counts.
Set it up once and the whole thing runs, from the first pledge to the money in your account.
Free for schools. No contract, no subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a SuccessFund a-thon cost?

Free to set up, with no subscriptions and no performance fees. The transaction fee is 5% + $0.30 - $1.00, and most donors choose to cover it at checkout, so programs typically keep roughly 99% of what they raise.

How fast can we set up?

Minutes. Start from the pledge-a-thon template, set your unit and goal, hand each participant a shareable link, and you're live. No sales calls, no contracts.

When do donors get charged?

When you finalize results. Pledges convert and all the cards charge at once, so the pledge sheet that never comes back problem disappears.

Can donors give a flat amount?

Yes. Supporters pledge per unit - laps, pages, baskets, shots - or give a flat amount, whichever they prefer.

What kinds of a-thons does it work for?

Walk-a-thons, read-a-thons, jog-a-thons, shoot-a-thons, swim-a-thons - any countable unit, from elementary through high school.
