Students or parents can send out emails to potential donors directly through the website! Personalize the pre-loaded email message on the “Family Resources” tab to let everyone know how to sponsor your student! No need to go door to door asking for donations.
Parents can check students’ donations easily on the “Check my student donations” tab
You will use the password leopard22 and then follow directions on the following page to see posted donations for your student(s)
If donations are not showing up, it is most likely because the student name entered on the donation does not match the student name on the school roster. Run4Fund$ staff will go through each donation to make sure they match up to a student as they run reports – no donations are lost or uncounted.
Goal tracking thermometers in real time for school and classrooms!
