School Fundraiser Registration Software That Brings Your Whole School Community Together

Schools use RunSignup for fun runs, 5Ks, kids’ dashes, fundraising walks, color runs, stair climbs, virtual challenges, and student-led races. For donation-only campaigns with no race, schools can run a student fundraiser on GiveSignup with the same fundraising tools.

Yes. PTAs and PTOs across the country run their annual fun runs and 5Ks on RunSignup. You can give parent volunteers access to the event dashboard so the work is shared, and all funds go directly to your organization’s payment account.

Each student can get their own fundraising page when they register, with a goal and a personal message that parents can edit. Families share the link with relatives and friends, and cash or check donations can be added to the page so the student’s total stays accurate.

Yes. Set up each classroom, grade, or club as a fundraising team with its own page and team captains. Student donations roll up to the team total, and live leaderboards show which class is in the lead.

RunSignup is free to set up, with no subscriptions or contracts. Free events have no cost. For paid registrations, the only cost is a processing fee that participants usually cover, and donations have a flat 4% processing fee that you can absorb, pass on, or ask donors to cover. See the pricing page for full details.

No. Many school fun runs and walks are untimed, and the free RaceDay CheckIn App and on-site registration work either way. If you want official results for a 5K, you can find a local timer through RunSignup’s Timer Search.

Yes. Your event is automatically available at both RunSignup.com and GiveSignup.org with no extra setup. Use the GiveSignup link when your event isn’t a race or when you want the focus on the cause rather than the athletics.
