For PTAs & PTOs

Your PTA deserves better than wrapping paper sales

QR-coded cards make fundraising effortless. Each student gets a unique code. Donors scan and give in 30 seconds. You track everything in real time — per student, per class, per grade.

Start Your PTA Fundraiser

Sound familiar?

Parents forget to send in the order forms. Paper-based fundraisers have terrible completion rates. Half the forms never come back.
Nobody carries cash anymore. Neighbors want to donate but don't have $20 in their wallet. You lose the moment.
Tracking is a nightmare. Spreadsheets, envelopes of cash, handwritten tallies. The treasurer is ready to quit.
Snap! Raise takes 20% of everything you raise. Raise $10,000 for the playground and they keep $2,000. That's two benches.
You need four different tools. One for donations, one for event tickets, one for the silent auction, one for the merch table. None of them talk to each other.

ScanRaise fixes all of it

Each student gets a unique QR code on a printed card or a phone link. No forms to lose. No products to deliver.
Donors scan and pay with their phone. Credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Done in 30 seconds.
Real-time dashboard shows every donation, per student, per class, per grade. No spreadsheets ever again.
One platform for donations, event tickets, merch, auctions, and raffles. Everything in one place.
Just 2.5% per donation. No setup fees, no monthly fees, no hidden costs. Donors can cover the fee so you keep 100%.
