School fundraising software
Software for schools, teams, and booster clubs that replaces cash boxes and paper pledge sheets with campaign pages, QR codes, and card payments.
Cazullo builds fundraising software for schools, teams, and booster clubs. Its platform in this space is PledgeHub, where each fundraiser gets a campaign page with a goal, printed QR codes take families straight to the donation page, donations are paid by card through Stripe, totals update live during events, local sponsors are showcased on campaign pages, and organizers close campaigns with PDF reports of pledges and payments.
What keeps going wrong with cash and paper
- Cash and paper pledge sheets get lost, and hand counting produces totals that never quite match
- Parents promise at the event and forget to send the money afterwards, and nobody follows up
- Organizers, almost always volunteers, spend their evenings reconciling pledges against what actually came in
- Nobody sees how the fundraiser is going until someone tallies everything at the end
- Local businesses sponsor the event but get little visibility in return, which makes the next ask harder
How we approach school fundraising
A QR code straight to the donation
Every extra step loses a parent. If donating means typing a web address, downloading an app, or creating an account, part of the crowd never gets there. In PledgeHub, the platform we build and operate for this setting, printed QR codes on flyers, posters, and event tables open the donation page directly, and supporters pay by card in their phone's browser.
Live totals change the energy of an event
When the total updates in real time, the fundraiser stops being an envelope collected in silence and becomes part of the event itself: the crowd watches the number climb, organizers know where they stand, and the ask for the last push toward the goal happens while everyone is still in the room.
Sponsors become part of the product
Local businesses already support school events, they just rarely get anything durable in return. On PledgeHub campaign pages, sponsors are showcased next to the campaign they helped fund, which gives organizers something concrete to offer when they knock on a local business's door. The platform is used by school communities in the United States.
Payments, stack, and reporting
Donations are paid by card through Stripe, so every payment is traceable and nobody on the organizing side handles cash. Everything runs on the web, with no app to install, built with Firebase on Google Cloud. Organizers close each campaign with reports of pledges and payments, including downloadable PDFs.
FAQ
Where does the money go?
Donations are paid by card through Stripe directly to the organization's own Stripe account. The money does not pass through Cazullo.
Do supporters need to install an app?
No. Supporters scan a printed QR code or open a link and donate from their phone's browser.
What does it cost?
Pricing is discussed directly with each organization. Get in touch and we will walk through what a fundraiser like yours would involve.
Can local sponsors be featured?
Yes. Sponsors can be showcased on campaign pages, so schools and teams have visibility to offer the local businesses that support the fundraiser.
