Fundraising module by Class365 is a powerful tool designed to streamline, manage, and amplify a school's fundraising efforts. It replaces cumbersome spreadsheets, manual payment tracking, and disjointed communication with an efficient, transparent, and engaging system.
Core Objectives
The primary goals of a fundraising module are to:
Increase Donations: Make it easier for parents, alumni, and the community to donate.
Streamline Administration: Reduce the manual workload for staff and volunteers involved in fundraising campaigns.
Enhance Transparency: Provide real-time tracking and clear reporting for both the school and its donors.
Boost Community Engagement: Keep stakeholders informed and involved, fostering a stronger school community.
