Schools across the UK are modernising their school fundraising, here’s how


Karmel Edmonds Communications Commander at Rocket Fund


School fair, Christmas show, sponsored silence, bake sale....the list goes on. School fundraising, it might be fun, but we don’t just do it for fun, we do it for funds, don’t we?


In 2019 school budgets are stretched...super stretched. Also in 2019, the average adult spends around 40 hours a week online, drones are delivering doughnuts and virtual reality is taking us to unexplored planets from our sofa. We’re living in a time of great innovation and digital transformation. Unfortunately, we’re also living in a time of great educational inequality.


So why has school fundraising not caught up? Not innovated, not evolved or become more efficient?


These are the questions we were asking ourselves a little over two years ago, when we came up with the idea of Rocket Fund: a free to use, online tool designed to make school fundraising easier and more efficient.


Rocket Fund projects take about 20 minutes to set up and can be shared with a huge audience at the click of a button. We are easy to use and have a track record of great results (85% of projects last term were successful, compared to 40% with other popular giving platforms).


What’s more, we are 100% focused on helping schools in the UK (so we know exactly what you need).


In the last two years, we’ve worked with over 460 schools across the UK, from Scotland to Cornwall, Northern Island to Norfolk and everywhere in between. We’ve helped schools raise over £370,000 with which they’ve


purchased a multitude of products, from robots and iPads to minibuses and garden furniture!
