What this looks like for middle schools

Built around how you already work.

One platform, every season

Fall sports, winter band, spring competitions, and the 8th-grade trip — all from one organization profile.

Coaches & directors stay in the loop

Leaders curate the share templates parents and students send.

Board-ready reporting

Per-campaign and per-organization exports for finance review.

Print-ready one-pagers

Designed templates with your headline and campaign QR code.

Most middle schools pick
One simple 80 / 10 / 10 split

Your school keeps 80% of every donation. Another 10% goes to the Share Fund — paid to the group that invited you onto Shareathon, and to your school when you invite another school in. The last 10% runs the platform. No individual ever keeps a cut.

What's different

Multiply your funds by sharing.

Your school keeps 80% of every donation. Then the Share Fund adds 10% of every campaign your school brings onto Shareathon — paid to your school, never to a person.

Run it all from a phone or tablet.

Safety & oversight

Built for leaders who care about doing this well.

FERPA-aware by default

First name only on public pages. Last names, photos, and grade level never appear unless an admin enables them.

Leader-curated share messages

Coaches and directors shape the share templates students and parents choose from.

Payouts to your school account

Funds settle to your school or booster club's connected bank account. Standard ACH.

Works alongside booster clubs

Run school and booster campaigns side-by-side. Anyone can share either one.

Donor-friendly by design

Your 80% stays whole.

Donors cover card processing on top of their gift at checkout, so the full donation amount counts toward your goal — no tips solicited, no surprises.

$20 thank-you, on us

Shareathon pays for the sharer's $20 gift card.

Every $500 a sharer's personal link brings in earns them a flat $20 digital gift-card thank-you. It's a referral thank-you from Shareathon — no cost to your organization or your donors.

What people usually ask

The good questions, answered.

Do our sharers earn anything?
Yes — if the campaign turns rewards on, an optional $20 digital gift card for every $500 their share brings in. Shareathon funds it, so your school never pays for it.
How does Shareathon handle FERPA?
Student profiles default to first name only. Photos and last names never publish unless an admin enables them.
Will district IT need to install anything?
No installs, no integrations. Shareathon runs in any modern browser.
