How to Set Up a Fundraising Website for Your School’s Art Program (Without Actually Building One Yourself)

Creating a fundraising website from scratch can sound intimidating—especially when you’re already juggling lesson plans, supply shortages, and a limited art budget. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone, or at all. When you partner with Art to Remember, your online fundraising website is already built into the program.

That means no complicated setup. No web design. Just an easy, effective way to raise money for your art room using student artwork. With us, you get a built-in platform that makes it effortless for families to order and support your classroom!

The Easiest Fundraising Website You’ll Never Have to Build

Most schools don’t have a tech team standing by to build out custom web pages. What’s more, most teachers don’t have time to learn how. After all, there are a lot of steps involved! Fortunately, our team at Art to Remember eliminates all of that hassle for you.

Once your students complete their artwork, Art to Remember creates a personalized online gallery for each one. Parents receive a direct link to their child’s artwork, where they can browse and order keepsakes—like mugs, tote bags, magnets, and ornaments—right from their phone or computer. This online store is mobile-friendly and user-tested to be simple for families to navigate. They can see the finished results of their keepsakes right on their screen, making it easy to choose the right one for this year’s fundraiser.

Use School Outreach and Social Media to Spread the Word

To maximize participation, it helps to let families know how easy the online ordering process is. Teachers and schools can use email newsletters, take-home flyers, and social media to build excitement and drive traffic to each student’s ordering page.

Be sure to share reminders, show off fun product samples, and celebrate progress toward your fundraising goal. Social media posts on platforms like Facebook and Instagram are relatively easy to share when you already have a profile set up. Email reminders can make a big difference too—especially when families realize they can order with just a few clicks.

Many schools even reach participation milestones and unlock bonus rewards just by encouraging parents to get involved and share the fundraiser with others. A little extra effort goes a long way. From there, it’s easy ordering and fantastic results for everyone!

A Fundraiser That’s Designed for Busy Teachers

With no upfront costs, no tech setup, and no stress, Art to Remember helps teachers turn their students’ creativity into classroom support. For many schools, the annual art budget is just $1 per child—or nothing at all. A successful fundraiser can raise $2,000–$5,000 or more to cover supplies and enrichment activities that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

So if you’re wondering how to set up a fundraising website for your school’s art program, why not go in a better direction? Partnering with Art to Remember means the work is already done. You get a powerful fundraising tool that looks professional and helps parents treasure their child’s creativity, all while raising meaningful dollars for your classroom.
