A Note from our Founder

When I founded GlueStick in 2024, I knew I wanted to use this business as a way to build a stronger community for our kids. As a proud school volunteer, I know how critical PTOs, PTAs, booster clubs and other parent-led organizations are to the success of our schools. I look forward to supporting your important work of inspiring the next generation of thinkers, creators, and doers. I’m especially grateful to our Pioneer Fundraising Partners who’ll help us shape the impact GlueStick has on schools for years to come.

Fundraising FAQs

When does our fundraiser need to happen to participate?

We are accepting new school fundraisers on a rolling basis. There is no requirement for when your fundraiser must start or end, but act fast! We are only accepting ten schools into this initial pilot program and interest in the program is growing.

How long does a typical fundraising campaign last?

For the pilot program, we can work with your needs. Our recommended campaign length is 4-6 weeks.

What do you expect of our organization?

Participating organizations should expect to include GlueStick promotional material in their school or parent newsletters and any social media accounts they own. Additionally, hanging posters around school and sending home fliers is a great way to boost engagement with the program.

No minimum subscriptions are required for GlueStick to pay your organization.

Can we run this alongside other fundraisers?
