Your community can fund itself.Calendar fundraiser software for teams, schools, and organizations.

Organizers launch the month and recruit participants. Each fundraiser shares a day grid. Donors claim days and give. Everyone sees the month fill. Every dollar is tracked. Same month-shaped rhythm sits comfortably next to galas, fun runs, and catalog drives you already run.

The model

A simple structure. A collective goal.

A calendar fundraiser works like this: organizers recruit fundraisers. Each fundraiser carries their own 31-day calendar. Their job is to get people in their network to claim days and donate the matching amount.

Day 7 = $7. Day 22 = $22. A full calendar = $496. Every fundraiser multiplies that potential.

1

Organizer launches a campaign

Set the month, recruit your fundraisers, set the goal.

2

Fundraisers share their calendar

Each fundraiser gets a personal calendar page to share with their network.

3

Donors claim a day and give

Pick any open day. Donate that amount or more. Donors can optionally cover infrastructure fees so your org receives 100%.

4

Progress is visible. Repeat monthly.

Fill the calendar. Close the month. Run it again.

Why it works

Structured giving creates shared accountability.

MonthFund is built for calendar fundraisers: organizers launch the month and recruit participants, each fundraiser shares their own day grid, donors claim a day and give that amount (or more), and everyone sees the month fill in public. Clear structure, shared accountability, and day-level amounts everyone can repeat.

  • Clear structure.
  • Shared accountability.
  • Visible progress.
  • Distributed ownership.

The multiplier

More fundraisers. More calendars. More raised.

Every fundraiser you activate adds another $496 in guaranteed floor. Donor generosity pushes it further. The model repeats every month.

50 fundraisers$24,800 floor

Floor totals assume all 31 days claimed at face value. Actual results vary based on donor generosity and fill rate.

Transparent fees. Donors choose.

Donors can cover MonthFund's infrastructure in one optional click so your organization receives the full gift amount they intend. Line items stay visible at checkout; no surprises.

Community (free) includes a 3% community infrastructure fee on each donation so we can run campaigns, calendars, and reporting. Professional is 1% and Network is 0%; monthly subscription replaces part of that per-donation contribution. Card processing is separate through Stripe: typically ~2.9% + $0.30, or ~2.2% + $0.30 for many nonprofits.

  • Cover infrastructure: Donors can add a small amount so your org receives 100% of their donation. Optional, one click.
  • Everything visible: If they don't cover it, the infrastructure portion comes from the donation. Either way, every dollar is tracked and shown clearly.
  • Scale down the fee: Professional (1%) and Network (0%) reduce the per-donation infrastructure fee; your subscription covers more of our cost instead. Community stays free.
