PTOs, PTAs & parent groups

School fundraising, run for you — not dumped on parent volunteers.

PTO and PTA fundraising ideas are easy to find. Running one is the hard part: the emails, the store, the reminders, the follow-up. In Play builds the campaign, markets it to your school community, and manages it start to finish — your board approves, we do the work.

What we hear

The product isn't the problem. The marketing is.

The same three parents write every email and chase every order.
A new board takes over each year and the playbook leaves with the old one.
Catalog and cookie-dough programs keep a small share and burn goodwill.
Nobody can say which fundraiser actually paid for the classroom grants.
What In Play runs for you

Your fundraising department, without hiring one.

1
A school fundraiser families say yes to

We pick and build the offer — spirit wear, a direct give-back drive, an event, or a fun run — with a branded page, checkout, and grade- or classroom-level pages.

2
The marketing your volunteers never have time for

Emails, texts, social posts, flyers, and backpack-ready print, written and designed by us on your school's brand and scheduled across the campaign.

3
Classroom and grade-level competition

Peer-to-peer pages with their own goals and a live leaderboard, so participation grows without a single reminder email from a parent.

4
Momentum and reporting the board can use

When pace slips we ship the follow-up, and every dollar is attributed by channel so next year's board starts with a playbook instead of a blank page.
