For schools & PTAs
Bring Lemonade Stand to your school.
We're working on a fundraising program for schools and PTAs. If you're interested, we'd love to hear from you.
The idea
Most school fundraisers ask families to buy things they don't really want. We're building something different: kids run their own small businesses, families and neighbors buy real things they actually use, and a portion of every sale supports the school.
Kids learn the basics of running a business. Schools raise money. Parents get a fundraiser that doesn't feel like one. We're refining the model with a few pilot schools before we open it up.
Get on the list
Tell us a bit about your school and we'll be in touch as the program develops.
Questions schools ask
How does a Lemonade Stand school fundraiser work?
Students run their own small online stores, selling things they make or outgrown books and toys, and families, friends and neighbors buy real things they actually want. A portion of every sale supports the school. Parents approve every product and order, the same as on Lemonade Stand today.
Is the school fundraising program available now?
We are refining it with a few pilot schools before opening it up. If you add your school to the list on this page, we will reach out as soon as there is an update, and pilot schools get first access.
What do students learn?
The basics of running a business: setting a price, figuring out what things cost versus what they sell for, writing a description that convinces a real customer, filling orders on time, and watching a savings split set money aside from every sale. Boss Mode games and lessons cover pricing, customers and profit.
Is it safe for students?
Lemonade Stand was built for kids under 13 and the federal privacy law that covers them (COPPA). Each store is owned by a parent, who approves every product, price, word and order before it goes live. Kids never message customers; every message goes to the parent. We collect a first name only and no photos of children appear on the site.
