Dennis Levene | Source | Founder and CEO at Schoolfundr

After 7 years of working in big tech and consulting, I left New York last year to explore how I might dedicate my time to solving a more meaningful problem. After speaking with dozens of educators and parents about the challenges they face, I decided to launch a company that helps school communities fundraise for what they need — without taking a chunk of what they’ve raised.

Schoolfundr is on a mission to make fundraising seamless and stress-free for teachers, coaches, and parents. Our easy-to-use software allows school communities to keep 100% of the funds they raise, unlike other fundraising platforms that keep 20% or more of all donations.

We provide user-friendly tools to promote the fundraiser within the local community, and friends and family can donate quickly without needing to create an account.

Our goal is to simplify fundraising so educators can focus on what matters.

I believe that every child deserves access to quality programs and opportunities. I know that in my life, access to high-quality academic and athletic experiences made all the difference. With this new software, we’re building a future where all students have the resources they need to reach their full potential.
