Why Groups Love WiddyUP

Real feedback from schools, teams, and organizations using WiddyUP.

Goodson Middle School, Cypress TX

"We were blown away by how easy it was! The kids are very intuitive when it comes to making videos. They made videos explaining that they wanted to raise money for our group, what we were going to do with that money, and what they would do in return for the people who donated. We put it up on the WiddyUP website, and it was so easy for the kids to upload those videos and get the link shared with their family and friends. It just worked itself out.

Within a week, we were well over $9,000, which blew my mind. We kept on going. We thought we'd maybe get $15,000 from our supporters here in the Cypress area, but we ended up getting about $23,000 total. It just blew us away!

We are definitely going to be doing WiddyUP next year. It reached the supporters of our group who just wanted to donate money—they didn't necessarily want to buy merchandise or gift cards where we'd only keep 50%. They really appreciated that WiddyUP gives us 95% back, and the 5% used is simply to help run their website.

We could see daily how much was coming into our group. I highly recommend the WiddyUP team; working with them was a delight.

John B. Middle School Band Director, Houston, TX.

I’ve used WiddyUP for five years now, and it continues to impress me year after year. I love how seamlessly they connect what we’re doing in the classroom with their fundraiser platform. It not only helps our program raise the resources we need, but it also showcases the hard work and talents of our students in an authentic, meaningful way. WiddyUp! makes the fundraising process smooth, engaging, and genuinely supportive of our educational goals. I can’t recommend the team at WiddyUp! Enough. “Oh, and my WiddyUp is empowering students to share their gift of music with others"

Keefer Crossing Orchestra, New Caney TX

"We have used WiddyUP the last 2 years, and it has been a great platform for us. We raised $25K last year as a new booster club, and $35K this fall. I love the personal touch of the videos and allowing students to showcase their own unique talents to entice donors to give. It’s very effective! They already made updates in the past year that made our job easier this time around - the ability to reset passwords on our end is a game changer. It’s a little different from other platforms I’ve used in the past in that communication is done via text, email, or messaging through the website rather than phone calls. I was nervous about that at first, but actually prefer it to long hold times or being bounced around between representatives."

Danielle & Matthew, Schultz JH Bulldog Band

"It is crazy how much money we made! Based on previous years, our goal was $3,500 because that's what we usually made with other fundraisers at this time of year. We thought, well, since WiddyUP lets us keep 95%, maybe we can bump it up to $5,000. If we could make five grand, that would be epic; we would be very, very happy with that kind of funding to help our band program.

Then we got started. Right away, within 24 hours, we had already achieved $1,200 and we were shocked! I was emailing and texting teacher friends saying, 'Can you believe this?' I couldn't believe how much money we were making. Every day, it just went up and up exponentially. It didn't seem to stop, which was incredible.

We ended up making $20,000! We are incredibly thankful to the kids for how hard they worked, but also to WiddyUP because it is so easy. We made so much money—it was a fantastic experience all the way around."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing to get started! There are no setup fees or upfront costs. WiddyUP simply keeps a portion of the funds raised.

How long does a WiddyUP fundraiser run?

Most fundraisers run for 3 weeks, but you can customize the duration based on your group's needs.

How soon can I get started?

Getting started only takes a few minutes. Most groups launch within 2 weeks of signing up, but you choose the kickoff date that works best for your schedule.

How quickly do we get paid?

Once your fundraiser ends, we'll process your payout and send your funds within 30 business days.

How much do groups usually raise?

Every group is different, but many raise thousands of dollars. The average WiddyUP donation is $54, and because students enjoy creating and sharing videos, student participation is higher than with traditional fundraisers - which leads to bigger results!

Is it safe for students?

Absolutely! Student safety and privacy are our top priorities. Students control who receives their fundraising messages and videos, and WiddyUP is designed specifically for K–12 schools and youth organizations. We comply with California's K–12 student privacy requirements, among the strictest standards in the nation.

Do parents like it?

Yes! Parents love that students aren't selling products or going door-to-door. Instead, they're sharing personal videos with family and friends who already want to support them.

Can we run this with another fundraiser?

Many groups include WiddyUP as part of their annual fundraising plan. For the best results, we recommend spacing out your fundraisers so WiddyUP has its own time to shine and your supporters aren't being asked to give to multiple fundraisers at the same time.
