School fundraiser planning checklist

School fundraisers depend on parent volunteers who are already busy. Clear shifts and live updates reduce no-shows and duplicate donations.

Checklist

  • Define fundraiser type, date, and profit goal.
  • List volunteer shifts with start/end times (not just “help at event”).
  • Track donated items and who is bringing them.
  • Publish setup/teardown crews separately.
  • Send reminder to volunteers 48 hours before.
  • Thank volunteers publicly after the event.

Run this checklist from one shared link instead of a PDF and a group chat.
