How It Works

School Boost runs a Colour Run fundraising campaign for your school. Students set up an online fundraising page, share it with family and friends, and collect donations. At the end of the campaign, students take part in a fun colour run event, and funds are paid out to your school. We provide campaign resources, optional prizes, and support to make it easy for staff and PTAs to deliver.

A simple, school friendly approach

We know schools are busy, so School Boost is built to be straightforward and flexible. Here’s a quick look at how our fundraising campaigns work, including the timeline, fee structure, and student reward options.

Visual Timeline

School Boost campaigns follow a clear, school-friendly timeline. From registration and campaign launch to the Colour Run event and school payout, we provide a structured plan and resources to guide your team at every step.

Fee Structure

School Boost operates on a simple service fee model. Fees vary depending on whether your school chooses to offer prizes, with no upfront costs. Schools receive their share of funds raised at the end of the campaign, with full reporting provided.

Student Rewards

Students can earn rewards for their fundraising efforts, with flexible prize options to suit your school. Schools can choose to offer prizes, certificates, or recognition-based rewards to motivate students while keeping fundraising fair and inclusive.
