Questions we hear a lot

Traditional fundraising companies run the whole thing and keep a large share of what you raise. My Fun Drive gives you the same student pages and online donations at a low platform fee, plus a team to help you plan, source rewards and design materials. You choose the help you need, and your school or team stays in charge.

No. We help you plan your fun run, carnival or party with checklists, timelines, volunteer roles and layouts, but your staff and volunteers run the day. That keeps costs down, and the event stays yours.

Schools and PTOs, youth sports teams and leagues, and youth groups like scouts, bands and clubs. See who we help.

A 20-minute phone or video call where we learn about your group, suggest a fundraiser that fits, and sketch a goal and timeline. There’s no obligation. If you go ahead, the detailed planning comes with your fundraiser. Book one here.

There are no setup fees, monthly fees or contracts. The platform fee is 10% of online donations, card processing included, and donors can add an optional tip that lowers your fee, down to $0. Cash and check gifts you record have no fee. Consultation and help setting up are included. See Pricing.

Each one is quoted for your fundraiser, because a 150-student read-a-thon and a 900-student carnival need very different things. We agree the price with you before any work starts, and they’re billed separately from the platform fee. You only pay for what you ask us to do.

A donor’s tip counts toward the 10% platform fee. If a family gives $100 and tips 6%, your fee drops from 10% to 4%. If they tip 10% or more, you keep the full $100. Tips are always optional and never come out of the donation.

Online donations are processed securely by Stripe and paid out to your organization’s bank account on Stripe’s standard schedule. You connect your bank once during setup, and we help you through it.

No. Donors pick an amount on a student’s page and pay by card or digital wallet, without an account. Families can sign their children up on a simple form, and can update a student’s page through a link we email them.

Yes. A parent can register up to six children on the sign-up form, and every child gets their own page. The parent receives the emails and can update each page.

Each student’s page shows their progress toward the next reward. On your side, the dashboard lists who has earned what and prints pick lists, bag labels and event passes, so handing out prizes is quick.
