• By posting their projects on the platform, students receive a personalized campaign URL that they can share with friends, family, and local business owners through social media and built-in promotional tools.
• This unique approach not only helps students raise funds but also allows them to showcase their entrepreneurial mindset, leadership skills, and ability to create real-world impact.
• For every dollar raised, 25% goes directly to their FBLA chapter, while the remaining funds help students cover their own FBLA-related expenses, such as travel, competition fees, and professional attire. With the potential to raise up to $600 per project, this initiative provides a net-zero-cost fundraising solution for students and school advisors.
• Beyond financial support, students also build strong professional connections within their communities, often leading to valuable internships and work-based learning opportunities from project backers.
