Crowdfunding Platform - School Fundraisers

Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide a secure, district-wide crowdfunding platform that supports school, extracurricular activity, and athletic fundraising initiatives. The goal is to implement a unified, compliant system that streamlines fundraising, increases transparency, reduces administrative burden, and maximizes revenue generation for district programs. The selected vendor must demonstrate proven experience delivering and managing online fundraising solutions for K–12 school districts. CUSD consists of thirty-one (31) Elementary schools, eight (8) Junior High Schools, and six (6) High Schools.

CUSD supports a wide range of academic, extracurricular, and enrichment programs that rely on supplemental fundraising to enhance student experiences.

To improve oversight and efficiency, the District seeks to centralize its fundraising efforts through a comprehensive online crowdfunding platform. This platform must provide schools and teachers with an easy-to-use fundraising tool, ensure financial transparency for donors and district administrators, and comply with all applicable state, federal, and district regulations. The District’s goal is to create a standardized fundraising ecosystem that increases community engagement, protects student and donor data, and generates more resources for educational programs.
