Skoolfunder
A weekly lotto fundraiser for your school — steady income, no work.
With just 100 people playing every week, your school can clear around £6,500 a year. We run it all — your school keeps 50% of every line.
Why a School Lotto Fundraiser?
Most school fundraising takes huge effort and raises limited one-off funds. A weekly School Lotto Fundraiser provides a steady, reliable stream of income all year round to help cover school programmes and facilities.
Low effort. High reward.
Raises funds 52 weeks of the year — including school holidays. 100% online, quick to set up and easy for volunteers to manage.
Risk-free, guaranteed revenue
We pay the £2,000 weekly jackpot, not your school. The more lines played, the more your school makes — guaranteed.
We handle the payments
Supporter payments are processed securely through Stripe. Your school's funds are allocated directly to its connected Stripe account as payments are processed, with clear reporting in your Skoolfunder dashboard.
Builds school community
Unites parents, grandparents, alumni and friends around a shared goal: supporting your school every single week.
What could your school fund?
Funds raised go directly back into your school. Here's what your Skoolfunder lotto income can help support.
Classroom resources
Equipment and materials to enrich everyday learning.
Sports & extra-curricular
Funding for clubs, kits and activities beyond the classroom.
Student wellbeing
Supports and initiatives that look after every student.
School improvement
Projects that upgrade and enhance your school environment.
Every school can do this — and we can make it happen for you.
How it works
A subscription fundraiser where players pick 4 numbers from 30 for a chance to win prizes every week.
Players sign up
Supporters visit your school's dedicated lotto webpage and pick 4 numbers from 30 — £2.50 every 4 weeks
Weekly draw
Every week at the day and time you choose, your school runs the draw — just a few button presses, in under a minute.
Independent results
A 3rd-party random number generator draws the numbers, checks for jackpot winners and selects the weekly lucky-dip winner automatically.
Winners paid, results published
Results are emailed to players and published on your lotto site. When the £2,000 jackpot is won, Skoolfunder pays the winner — and it resets to £2,000 the next week.
How do you get set up?
Free to set up. We do the heavy lifting so your school can get fundraising straight away.

Your school obtains a small society lotto licence from your local council (around £35). We guide you through every step.
Your dedicated page
We build your own branded lotto webpage — the hub where your school community plays each week.
Promotional starter pack
We provide a starter guide with tips on communicating and promoting the lotto to parents and the wider community.
We manage payments
Supporter payments are processed through Stripe, with your school's funds allocated directly to its connected Stripe account. All you have to do is promote it — the more people play, the more your school earns.
How much can your school raise?
A risk-free model. Supporter payments are processed through Stripe, with your school's funds allocated directly to its connected Stripe account as payments come in. Clear reporting is shown in your Skoolfunder dashboard. How much you raise is in your own hands.
