How it works for a PTA

1. Create the campaign. An officer sets up the PTA and the campaign online and sets a goal. When your PTA connects its own payment account, donations go to that account.

2. Add students by class. Paste the roster or upload a CSV, then group students by class or grade.

3. Send the cards home. Print campaign or class QR cards for take-home folders, or share those links by text or email. Individual cards for children under 13 must stay private and be handled by a responsible adult.

4. Follow the totals. Officers see every gift by student and by class or grade, and can export the donations as a CSV file for the PTA's records.

For school events and read-a-thons

Class totals

Show class totals on the public campaign page. Individual profiles and results for children under 13 stay private. For other participants, the organizer can choose whether to show individual totals.

Event tickets

Sell free or paid tickets for the carnival, movie night, or spring dance, and check families in at the door with the QR code on their ticket.

Silent auction

Post gala auction items with a photo, a reserve, and a buy-now price. Families bid from their phones and get an email if someone outbids them.

Fun runs and read-a-thons

Sponsors can pledge per mile or per minute read. Students log distance with GPS or reading time with a timer in the phone browser. ScanRaise flags suspicious entries so you can check them before any sponsor is charged.

For school use, ScanRaise is listed in the SDPC resource registry and provides parental-consent and student-data controls designed to support schools' COPPA and FERPA obligations. Clever and ClassLink sign-in is available for enabled organizations, subject to provider and school or district approval. Compliance depends on each organization's configuration and use.

What it costs

ScanRaise keeps 2.5% of each donation. Stripe also charges a card-processing fee. There is no setup or monthly fee, and donors can choose to cover the fees.

You can set up your PTA fundraiser online without a credit card.
