Smarter Fundraising for a Modern PTO
Skip the product sales and bake sales. Give families a way to invest in learning — not just fundraising.
THEN
Fundraisers That Didn't Fuel Growth
- Teachers watched time and energy go toward fundraisers that had little to do with learning.
- Parents baked, bought, and sold — all for a fundraiser that barely touched the classroom.
- Students were rewarded for sales, not effort — and missed the chance to grow in meaningful ways.
70% of parents say school fundraisers are stressful and inconvenient.
From product sales to pressure to perform, the hassle rarely helps students grow.
NOW
Fundraising That Fuels Student Growth
- Teachers receive flexible funds and use classroom work to build student portfolios that show student growth.
- Parents are no longer buying cookie dough — they're investing in award-winning curriculum that supports their child's growth.
- Students are recognized not for what they sell, but for how they grow — through effort, projects, and reflection.
15% of every enrollment goes directly back to the school.
No selling. Just smarter support for student learning.
What Is The Giving Classroom?
Created by a teacher who asked: What if fundraising actually supported learning?
Instead of selling products, families enroll in personalized education. Students build portfolios. And 15% of every enrollment supports your school — funding PTOs, empowering student councils, and awarding KIND Student Scholarships.
Built by educators. Made for today's learner.
How It Works
Hassle-Free Fundraising
Share with families at events or online — no selling, inventory, order sheets or pressure - just community-based networking.
Raise Funds For Your School
Your PTO gets 5% of every enrollment to use for programs that will enrich your school's learning community.
Empower Student Leadership
Another 5% supports your Student Council or Service Learning programs that are student-led.
Reward Real Growth
The other 5% funds student scholarships through the KIND Student Scholarship program based on their Defined Learning portfolio.
Why PTOs Love The Giving Classroom
A smarter way to raise funds, recognize students, and build stronger school communities.
KIND Student Scholarship Program
KIND Student Scholarships are earned through effort and growth, not test scores — captured in students' year-end portfolios.
Awarded to a student who demonstrates growth in academic understanding and curiosity through their portfolio
Awarded to a student who uplifts classmates through service, kindness, leadership, or creativity
Awarded to a student who exhibits a growth mindset, showcasing their persistence, grit, and dedication throughout the year
Awarded to a student who brings bold ideas or inclusive values to life — schools choose which value to spotlight!
Winners chosen annually by PTO and Student Council based on portfolio growth.
