(Corporate sponsors cover a flat cost)
Activate is a registered 501(c)(3), non-profit organization.
Activate
verb; to make active or capable of action.
Equipping schools to maximize their fundraising dollars.
A highlight of the year for students
Easy for parents
Seamless handling of all logistics and program details by an onsite team.
100% of fundraising by students is kept by the school.
Why a fun run? Student-centered, event-based fundraising raises significantly more funds and is an experience for all students.
While for-profit companies charge upfront fees and take a large percentage of funds raised to host such events for schools, we believe that to serve in the best interest of the school, fundraising efforts should be a nonprofit endeavor.
Imagine a fundraiser where the school keeps 100% of their donations.
We keep the fundraising dollars from each school community in that school community.
Together with local business sponsors, we create and host an event full of energy, affirmation, and enthusiasm at no cost to the school. Let's affirm what is great about each school and empower them to do something groundbreaking!

A decade of experience
With over a decade of event-based fundraising experience working in elementary schools across the U.S., we know exactly what is needed for the most successful fundraiser. We've listened to administrators, PTA members, teachers, and parents to design a program with their best interest in mind.
Every school deserves the best fundraising experience that is a safe, reliable, low-overhead solution to raise needed funds for programs and school improvements.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
SPONSOR
Whether it's one local school, a county of schools, or a city of schools, your tax-deductible donation has exponential impact as it multiplies up to 500%!
Empower your local school to fund their dreams and encourage students as they work together to improve their school.
Your organization will be recognized in multiple avenues at each school, with an average of 5,000 brand impressions within the school community.
VOLUNTEER
Serve a local community school during the program to motivate students to help their school. The Activate team will reach out to you to coordinate your role, equip you with the training you’ll need, and will lead you through an incredible volunteer experience.
APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM AT YOUR SCHOOL
How much does it cost?
Schools apply to be grant recipients of the Activate School Fundraising Team. We then sit down with each school to plan out what they want the program to look like, which impacts the cost. We'll share the plan with you and you can decide what level of sponsorship you prefer.
Why donate to Activate?
There's no better way to support the community than to support your local school. You're empowering and enabling them to raise far more funds than through a one-time donation. Your donation to the Activate Fund unlocks the potential for the school to tap into the social network extending beyond the immediate families at the school, and gives them the dignity of raising and keeping 100% of the funds they raise through a fun and energetic event.
What's the benefit?
Not only will your donation be tax-deductible, but you'll also have the opportunity to practice corporate social responsibility as you make a positive impact in your community. Your organization will be recognized and thanked as a sponsor who has engaged the hearts of your community and students at the beneficiary school(s). It will be one of the most exciting events of the year - one you'll want to make an annual community engagement!
