A QR on the sponsorship form links to the event fundraising page. Sponsors make pledges online immediately rather than writing cheques. The total raised is visible in real time.

2. Prize Draw Tickets

A QR on the raffle ticket links to a digital entry form. Multiple tickets can be submitted in one session without a manual count. Draw results and prize claim instructions are sent by email.

3. Donation Box Alternative

A QR on the donation box or on a classroom display links to the school's fundraising page. Digital donations from bank accounts reach the school immediately without handling cash.

4. Gift Aid on School Donations

A QR links to a Gift Aid declaration form for eligible UK donors. Parents who are taxpayers can increase the value of their donation by 25% with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can parents make donations anonymously via QR?

Yes. Most fundraising platforms allow anonymous contributions. For Gift Aid you need a name and contact, which can still be kept private from other parents.

Is a QR raffle legal for school fundraising?

Small-scale prize draws for school benefit are generally permitted under lottery regulations in most countries. Check local rules before launching.
