Online Fundraising Platform For Schools

Collect donations in the same place your families already pay tuition. Name the cause, set the amounts, and share a link — most schools are collecting within an hour.

There is no separate charge for fundraising. Donations carry the same card rate your organisation already pays on tuition, and donors can choose to cover that fee so your school keeps the full donation.

TUIO school fundraising & donations feature

School fundraising is a constant challenge for schools of all sizes. It’s hard to keep parents, alumni, and your community engaged and involved in the fundraising process, and it can be tricky to manage all of your resources without some help. With the right school fundraising software, however, you can streamline donations so that your fundraisers are more effective than ever before!
Set up your first donation fund in an hour, and offer as many donation fund options as you would like. Pick the legal entity structure that represents your school or daycare. Whether charitable or non-charitable, the system is easy-to-use. Receipts are sent automatically, based on the structure you have!

Why schools & parents love TUIO

TUIO has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for everyone to use online school fundraising.

You and your families can be set up with TUIO in an hour.

Card and bank numbers are never collected, transmitted or stored by TUIO. They go straight to the payment processor’s vault.

Keeping administrative tasks all in one central place frees up staff time.

We Are Committed to Your Success!

Simple interface

Get started right away – no experience necessary! Begin collecting donations in no time at all with our intuitive system. According to TUIO clients, many other school fundraising platforms are too difficult for your average person (or parent) to figure out. The more complicated it is to donate, the fewer donations. TUIO offers live support via phone, live chat, and e-mail to ensure you are set-up for your fundraiser.

"One of the things I like most about TUIO is how simple and easy it is to use. Everything is very straight forward, even for those who may not be tech savvy."

Endless options

We think it’s important that donors have options when choosing how they give. It’s also important for them to know that their gift will go towards something specific, so we’ve made this customization available at every step in the donation process of online school fundraising.

Tracking & reporting for online school fundraising

Use TUIO fundraising software to track donors and fundraising progress. Import cash donations, and track donations and donation history fund by fund. It helps you to see how much money you have raised, and how many alumni, current students and parents have donated.

Share your fundraiser & collect donations

TUIO provides a platform for you to share your online school fundraising with parents using the Conversations tab in our school management software. You are able to communicate directly with parents (or other organization admins) on TUIO. Even after you’ve set up your fundraiser and launched it, you can keep your community in the loop using TUIO. 

TUIO runs donations, tuition and enrolment in one system, on one login for families.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are good virtual fundraising ideas for schools?

Schools raise money on TUIO through donation funds: you name the cause, set fixed or open amounts, and share a link. That covers walk-a-thons and fun runs, playground and equipment appeals, sponsorship of plaques, tiles or rooms, and annual giving. Donations arrive in the same place as tuition, so there is one set of books at year end.

What is the best online fundraising platform for K-12 schools?

TUIO is built for schools that already collect tuition from the same families. Donation funds sit in the account parents already log into, so families keep one login and you keep one set of records. Every fund reports on its own, and TUIO integrates with QuickBooks Online through SaasAnt: deposits and payouts export in a SaasAnt-compatible format your bookkeeper imports straight into the books.

How does TUIO make school fundraising easier compared to traditional methods?

TUIO helps schools run fundraising digitally instead of relying on cash, cheques and paper forms. You can set up donation funds quickly, share links with families, and track donations with built-in reporting.

Donation receipts go out automatically when a donation is made, each covering that donation. Whether one qualifies as an official charitable receipt depends on your organisation's own registration.

Childcare tax receipts work differently. An administrator prepares them, and parents download them or have them sent. A tax receipt usually aggregates a period's payments by scope and date and adjusts for the portion that qualifies — which is why it is a deliberate step rather than an automatic one.

What does fundraising on TUIO cost?

There is no separate charge for fundraising and no platform cut. Donations carry the same card rate your organisation already pays on tuition, and donors can choose to cover that fee so the school keeps the full amount.

Can parents set up recurring donations through TUIO's fundraising system?

Yes. Schools can offer recurring donation options through TUIO, allowing families with an account to set up ongoing contributions such as monthly or annual donations. Parents manage their recurring donations through their secure account, while schools benefit from more predictable fundraising support and reduced administrative follow-up.

Can TUIO run multiple fundraising campaigns simultaneously?

Yes. You can run as many donation funds at once as you need — a capital appeal, a walk-a-thon and an annual fund can all be open at the same time, each with its own link, its own amounts and its own reporting. If you raise for several schools, each one is tracked separately in the same account.

Can TUIO provide reports on donations?

Yes. Every donation fund has its own reporting, in real time, for campaigns that are running and campaigns that have finished. Donation history exports whenever you need it, for your board pack or your bookkeeper.

Is TUIO's fundraising platform secure for handling school donations?

Donation card details are entered directly into the payment processor's secure form and go straight to the processor's vault. TUIO never collects, transmits or stores them, so no private financial information sits on TUIO's servers — which is what keeps your organisation in the simplest PCI category, SAQ-A.

How quickly can our school start using TUIO for fundraising campaigns?

Most schools are collecting donations within an hour of starting. You create a donation fund, choose the amounts, and share the link with families.

Automate your school fundraising

Collect donations where your families already pay tuition, let donors cover the processing fee, and keep one set of records at year end.
