Fundraiser head counts that survive backpack mail.

Reach families on the channel they actually use

School communication is fragmented on purpose — email, app notification, paper flyer, classroom teacher. The fix is not another channel. It is one destination that every channel can point to, so a parent who scans a flyer and a parent who taps the newsletter end up in the same list.

Attendance and volunteers in the same reply

Most fundraisers need two things from a family: whether they are coming, and whether they can help. Asking both in one form means you are not reconciling a sign-up sheet against an RSVP list the night before. Add a shift question, a dish-to-pass question or a donation-item question, and it exports next to the head count.

Questions people ask

How do we collect RSVPs for a school fundraiser?

Publish one event page, then put the link in the newsletter and the QR code on the flyer that goes home in backpacks. Families reply on their phones without an account, and the head count updates as replies arrive.

Can families reply for the whole household?

Yes. One reply covers adults and children separately, so a family of five counts as five seats rather than one response — the number the kitchen and the seating plan actually need.

Can we collect volunteer sign-ups at the same time?

Yes. Add a question asking which shift or task a family can help with, and export the answers alongside attendance. You end up with one list instead of a sign-up sheet plus a reply thread.

Do parents need to create an account?

No. Guests never sign up. That matters for school communication, where every extra step loses replies and where many families reply from a shared phone.

Is there a plan that fits a whole school?

Yes. Pro removes RSVP limits and allows unlimited events, which suits schools and PTOs running several nights a year on one account. See the pricing page for current rates.
