Wenkendi guide
School Fundraising Guide
Short answer
Schools, PTO/PTA groups, booster clubs, and student programs can raise funds on Wenkendi for supplies, technology, uniforms, field trips, band, and athletics. The organizer must confirm they are authorized to raise funds for the school or group.
Confirm who is authorized to organize
Before launching, agree with your principal, athletic director, or booster board on who will be the organizer, what the funds will pay for, and how the money will be handed off. On Wenkendi you confirm your affiliation and your authorization to raise funds on the group's behalf.
Fund one clear need at a time
"New band uniforms for 40 students" raises better than "support our program." Families give more confidently when they can picture exactly what arrives at the school.
What school groups commonly raise for
- Classroom supplies, books, and technology
- Uniforms, instruments, and team equipment
- Field trips, competitions, and travel costs
- Graduation, prom, and senior activities
- Student emergency funds, meals, and coats
Reach families where they already read
Put your fundraiser link in the school newsletter, team roster group chats, parent email lists, and event programs. Ask coaches, teachers, and room parents to share it once each — many small shares outperform one big announcement.
Report back
Post a photo of what the funds bought. Follow-through is the single best way to make next year's school fundraiser easier.
