What does Aid Registry cost us?

Nothing. We don't skim a tip or charge platform fees on your campaign. Parents fund the items you list, and we purchase and ship them.

Can we raise plain cash too?

Aid Registry is built around specific goods — the supplies and equipment you'd otherwise buy. For pure cash drives it isn't the right tool yet.

For PTAs, PTOs & school groups

PTAs use Aid Registry to fund what the budget won't.

Run a supply drive, re-equip the playground, or pull off the spring carnival. Itemize exactly what you need, share one link with your families, and let parents fund the specific things — no opaque tip slider, no fees skimmed off the top.

The gap

The need is specific. The funding usually isn't.

School budgets cover the basics. Supplies, equipment, and enrichment fall to the PTA.

Most fundraising tools bury a 10–20% "tip" in the donor flow and keep it.

Parents want to help but rarely know exactly what's needed this month.

How it works

Build → Market → Measure.

Build a campaign

Itemize exactly what you need — quantities, deadline, the works. Claim your PTA page and you can draft one in minutes.

Share & market it

One link for your families, supporters, and socials. Donors fund the specific items — no account required to give.

Measure the impact

Watch items get funded in real time. We purchase and ship them to you, and you post a thank-you when they land.

Questions

Good questions to ask first.

Most PTAs are. If your group has its own EIN you can claim it directly. School groups under a district can reach out and we'll help sort out the right setup.
