How schools can boost fundraising by accepting donations at ticket checkout

Make fundraising simple. Learn how to add donation options directly into your ticket checkout with Admittee — encouraging more giving without extra tools.

Fundraising doesn’t have to be complicated.

For many schools and clubs, collecting donations means launching a separate campaign, managing new tools, tracking spreadsheets, and sending countless reminders — all while juggling limited volunteers and busy schedules. But what if giving could happen naturally, right in the flow of events your community already attends?

With Admittee, families can donate in the same moment they purchase tickets — no extra forms, logins, or fundraising launches. It’s simple, seamless, and proven to increase participation.


Why donations belong in the ticket flow

Families are already in a supportive mindset when they're buying tickets for a football game, concert, play, dance, or fundraiser. They’re showing up, they’re already contributing — and they’re rooting for their students. Adding a small “Support this program” option at checkout makes giving effortless.

Research shows donors are significantly more likely to contribute when the opportunity is built into an existing transaction. It feels easy, natural, and meaningful — not like another task on the to-do list.

With Admittee, schools and clubs can:

  • Invite families to give as they buy tickets

  • Support specific teams, arts programs, and booster groups

  • Capture everyday generosity that would otherwise go untapped


“We added a donation option to our ticket checkout for the fall concert and were surprised how many families gave an extra $10 or $20. It added up fast — and it didn’t require any extra setup.”
— Rachel L., Performing Arts Booster Treasurer


A simple way to supplement fundraising

This isn’t meant to replace dedicated fundraising platforms like SnapRaise or GoFundMe — it complements them. Think of Admittee as your everyday fundraiser — a passive, year-round way to build support without running new campaigns or asking volunteers to do more. Great use cases include:

  • Theatre and choir ticket sales

  • Booster club athletic events

  • Band and music programs

  • Annual school festivals and performances

  • Year-round support pages for any club or activity

Instead of launching a formal campaign for every need, schools can offer families a chance to give whenever they’re already engaged.


Clear tracking for treasurers & bookkeepers

Donations are automatically categorized by event or program, making reconciliation simple — without chasing down spreadsheet notes or guessing which funds belong where. Financial clarity = more confidence, less administrative work.

With Admittee, treasurers can:

  • See donations and ticket sales in one place

  • Track revenue by program or event

  • Ensure funds go to the right account

  • Export reports quickly for financial transparency


“What I love most is how organized everything is. Donations go straight into the right category, so our treasurer doesn’t have to chase down which program they belong to.”
— Lisa M., PTA President


Turning everyday events into opportunities

By making giving effortless, schools unlock more support with less work. Sometimes the most effective fundraising isn’t a big campaign — it’s simply making it easy to give at the right moment. Adding donation options at checkout helps you:

✅ Encourage small, frequent contributions
✅ Reduce friction for families
✅ Increase transparency for staff
✅ Support more programs throughout the year
✅ Capture generosity that often goes unspoken
