Online donations for a Dance-a-Thon
Online giving is where a modern Dance-a-Thon makes its money. Here is exactly how the personalized pages work, why they out-raise a generic link, and how you keep 95–97%.
No obligation — talk through your goal with a coach, or start your event now. Trusted by 10,000+ events since 2007.
Personalized student pages
A personal page with a photo, a goal, and a story out-raises a generic school link every time.
When a student shares their own page, supporters give to that child, not an abstract fund — and they give more. That is why Get Movin' student pages average around $140 each. Parents set one up in about five minutes, and students can personalize it with a photo and a sentence about the goal.
Two-tap giving that removes friction
Every extra step loses donors. FundHub keeps giving to two taps and offers the payment methods people already use:
- Credit & debit cards
- PayPal
- Venmo
- Apple Wallet & Google Wallet
Students share their page with a single tap by text, email, or social, so a grandparent across the country can give in under a minute.
Real-time tracking that fuels momentum
Live donation meters do more than record gifts — they motivate. Students watch their personal thermometer climb and keep sharing; classes race on a leaderboard; the whole school rallies around one goal thermometer. Offline cash and checks are entered into the same system, so every dollar shows up in one place. Pair this with challenges to turn tracking into a game.
Keeping 95–97% of what you raise
This is the decisive advantage over product sales. Online usage fees apply only to online donations; you keep 100% of in-school cash and checks. Optional donor credits — small amounts donors can add at checkout — offset most of the online cost, bringing the average group's net cost to about 4%. The result: schools keep an average 95–97%, and online funds arrive by automatic ACH transfer within days of the event.
