As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time to rethink old habits and embrace fresh opportunities. For PTAs and schools, the start of the year often brings renewed focus on budgets, programs, and the daunting task of raising funds. Traditional fundraisers – like bake sales, carnivals, and auctions – require significant time and effort, yet often deliver inconsistent results. But what if there was a better way? What if your school could unlock a new revenue stream without the constant hustle?
That’s where Trillage comes in. We’re redefining how PTAs and schools raise money by introducing passive fundraising – a game-changing approach that delivers monthly recurring revenue with minimal effort.
What is Passive Fundraising?
Passive fundraising flips the script on traditional methods. Instead of organizing time-intensive events, schools can rely on a continuous, predictable stream of income. With Trillage, families and community members subscribe to support their local schools, gaining access to exclusive deals, discounts, and promotions from national brands and local businesses. Their subscription fees go directly to the school they choose to support. It’s a win-win: the community saves money, and schools gain steady, reliable funding.
A First-of-Its-Kind Opportunity for PTAs and Schools
Historically, PTAs and schools have had limited options for passive income. While platforms exist for recurring donations, they often don’t provide tangible benefits to donors beyond the satisfaction of giving. Trillage changes that dynamic by offering subscribers real value: access to savings that can easily outweigh the cost of their subscription.
This is more than just a revenue stream – it’s a partnership. Trillage empowers schools to connect with their communities in a meaningful way, encouraging ongoing support while providing something valuable in return. For PTAs and schools that have never experienced the ease of passive fundraising, this is a revolutionary concept.
Why Passive Fundraising Matters
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, more than half of U.S. public schools reported that they were unable to meet their financial needs through traditional fundraising efforts. As educational demands grow, schools need innovative solutions to close funding gaps without overburdening staff, parents, and volunteers.
Passive fundraising offers:
- Stability: Monthly recurring revenue helps schools plan and allocate resources more effectively.
- Simplicity: Say goodbye to endless meetings and volunteer sign-ups for event planning.
- Scalability: The potential for growth is limitless as more community members subscribe and businesses join the platform.
