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.
