Our verdict on Fundraise-A-Thon

Fundraise-A-Thon is a school fundraising service from Scentco Inc LLC, pairing an administrator web dashboard with mobile apps for parents, students and supporters. It is aimed at schools that want to run campaigns, set goals and keep families involved through mobile access. Administrators can manage multiple fundraisers, monitor donation progress and review analytics; app users can browse campaigns, invite family and friends, donate and follow progress. That combination suits schools whose fundraising depends on reaching families on their phones as well as coordinating campaign activity online.

The mobile flow connects outreach to giving: schools can send announcements to parents and supporters, while families can invite contacts by text, email or mobile contacts. Donations support cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal, with Stripe also named among the integrations. Parent referrals may receive Amazon e-gift-card rewards. These features make the product a focused fit for event fundraising and family messaging, rather than a general school administration tool. Schools comparing fundraising options should consider whether this mobile and campaign-centered approach matches how they communicate with their communities.

The financial arrangement is a central decision point: schools receive 85% of funds raised, while 15% covers payment processing and platform operations. Pricing is handled through sales, so schools should ask for the applicable commercial terms alongside that stated share. The service is cloud-based with web, iOS and Android access, and support is available by email and phone. Fundraise-A-Thon is worth considering for small and mid-market schools that prioritize mobile donations, parent outreach and multiple campaigns. Schools seeking a published plan structure or a broader school-management platform should compare alternatives before choosing it.
