If you have kids, you know the constant drumbeat of school fundraising.  The education funding gap in America means that local schools are relying more than ever on financial support from parents and friends for a growing range of needs.

 

Big charities and universities have sophisticated tools and fundraising professionals.  But school campaigns are often driven by volunteers with lots of passion but with just basic email forms and donate buttons.

Edbacker understands the pain points of school fundraising and is ideally experienced to bring sophisticated, easy-to-use tools to schools of all sizes.  Their innovative solution takes on the heavy lifting that falls to fundraising chairs: building customizable fundraising sites, creating and managing donor databases, tracking payments in real time, running instant reports, communicating with donors via personalized templates, and more. 

 

With more than 900 schools using Edbacker, they are connecting schools and districts to support from local companies, community members and individual donors.

 

“We are thrilled to partner with PayPal, and believe that our work together will result in an increase of funding for schools across the country,” said Edbacker CEO Gary Hensley. “We’re honored that PayPal will join us as we continue to introduce more schools, districts and corporations to our platform and work to solve the educational funding gap facing our nation’s schools.”

 

We are proud to be Edbacker’s payments partner.  By delivering a safe, simple and easy-to-use payment experience for their schools and parent, they’re able to focus on helping to solve the educational funding gap facing our nation’s schools.
