Fundraising campaigns that stay in view until the goal
A fundraiser needs a clear goal, a deadline and an easy way to give, repeated until the last day. Screens in the lobby and cafeteria keep the drive visible to students, families and visitors without another banner on the fence.

Why it matters
Drives lose momentum after the kickoff
The booster club announces the fundraiser at an assembly and sends one email home. After that, it lives on a flyer in the office. Progress updates and deadline reminders are what bring in the second half of the money.
Ideas for Fundraising Campaigns
The goal and what it pays for
Name the target and the specific thing it buys, like new band uniforms or a team bus trip.
Progress updates
Post the total raised so far and refresh it weekly. A simple thermometer graphic is easy to edit in a shared deck.
How to give, in one line
Say where to drop off, who to pay or what to buy. A QR code slide lets people open the screen on their phone for the full details.
The deadline and final push
Count down the last few days and say plainly when the drive closes.
Thanks to donors and sponsors
Recognize local businesses and families who gave, showing only what they’ve agreed to share.
The students behind the effort
Show the club or team running the drive. Classmates give to people they know.
How it works with Digital Signage
Fundraising Campaigns, step by step.
Three steps
Keep progress in a linked deck
Put the goal and progress slide in a Google Slides deck linked to the screen. A new total in Slides shows up within about 20 minutes, on the screen’s next refresh.
Match the dates to the drive
Start the campaign items on kickoff day and end them when the drive closes, so nothing asks for money after the deadline.
Choose the screens families see
Add the campaign to lobby and gym screens where parents pass, and leave classroom-wing screens for student news.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Fundraising Campaigns tips
One ask per slide
Don’t combine the candy sale and the auction on one slide. Mixed asks are easy to ignore.
Update the total on a set day
Pick a day, such as every Monday, so the number is never weeks old.
Follow your district’s rules
Check what your district allows on school screens, such as sponsor logos or outside vendors, before you post.
Say thank you when it’s over
A final slide with the total raised shows donors their money mattered and sets up next year’s drive.

Questions
Fundraising Campaigns questions
Show the goal, what it pays for, how to give and the deadline, then update progress each week. Put it on screens where families pass, like the main lobby and the gym entrance.
Yes. Keep the thermometer in a Google Slides deck that’s linked to the screen and type the new amount there. Screens refresh about every 20 minutes, so the update is up the same morning.
Rocket Digital Signage lets you schedule campaign slides from kickoff to close and decide which screens carry them. When the drive ends, the slides come off on the date you set.
Rocket prices signage by the screens and setup, not by campaign, so the drive is simply more content once screens are running. You can start with one lobby screen and add more spaces later.
