Prices are per school in US dollars. Annual billing is $1,990— two months free. Print-and-post fulfillment is billed per piece on top, and text messaging is metered, because postage and carriers are billed to us per unit. Sending from your school’s own domain is included and optional. Networks of more than five schools should ask about network pricing.
This does not come out of your scholarships.
Federal law requires that at least 90% of qualified contributions reach students, and caps everything else — the SGO’s administration and the platform — at 10%. Every fee on this platform lives inside that 10% and is visible on every gift.
A Advance subscription is different in kind. It is software your school buys from its own operating budget, the way it buys a student information system. It is not deducted from gifts, it is not counted against the cap, and it does not reduce the share of any donation that reaches a family.
Pricing questions
Is Essentials really free forever?
Yes. Approved partner schools get Essentials at no cost, with no minimum and no setup fee, for as long as they are partners. It is part of the $0-to-start promise, not a trial.
Does the subscription come out of our donations?
No. Advance is billed to the school like any other software and paid from the school's operating budget. It never touches the funds raised, and it is not counted against the federal cap on what an SGO may spend on administration. Fundraising percentages stay exactly where they were.
How do you justify the cost to a board?
One additional donor family covers the year. A single $1,700 gift is most of the annual price, and Pro exists to produce considerably more than one. The board reporting module tracks cost per dollar raised so the answer stops being a projection and starts being a number.
What counts as a school?
One campus with one list and one brand. A parish with a K-8 and a separate high school is two, unless they fundraise as a single entity. Multi-campus networks should talk to us about a network price.
Are there send limits?
Pro includes generous monthly email volume sized for a school's actual list, and text messaging is metered separately because carriers charge per message. Print and mail fulfillment is billed per piece. Nobody gets surprised by a bill — you see usage in the product.
Can we cancel?
Monthly plans cancel at the end of the term. Your contacts, content, and analytics export in full — the list is your school's property, not ours.
Talk it through before you decide.
Tell us about your organization and we’ll set up a consultation on your formation path, your state, and the timeline. It costs nothing and there is nothing to sign — and if it’s useful, we’ll walk through the platform on the same call.
