Sound familiar?

Wrapping paper and candy bar sales are embarrassing. Students hate selling overpriced products door-to-door. So do their parents.
Competition travel is expensive. Bus charters, hotels, entry fees — it adds up to five figures fast for a 100-member marching band.
Instrument repair and replacement costs are brutal. One sousaphone costs more than most families' entire fundraising total.
Tracking 100+ students' fundraising is chaos. Paper forms, cash envelopes, and a treasurer who's ready to quit. RaiseRight gift cards barely help.
Snap! Raise takes 20%. Fund-Team takes 5%. On a $40,000 uniform drive, that's $2,000-$8,000 that should have gone to your program.

ScanRaise fixes all of it

Each student gets a QR code to share with family, neighbors, and community. No products to sell or deliver.

Just 2.5%. Raise $40,000 and keep $39,000. That's $7,000 more than Snap! Raise.
