FarmRaiser Overview

Each year school fundraisers sell nearly $6 billion worth of candy bars, cookie dough, and other junk food and products that contribute to obesity, diabetes, and a throwaway culture that is disconnected from food system.

Our kids, our schools and our communities deserve better.  We built the FarmRaiser platform to to connect local farmers and artisans to student-led fundraisers, allowing teams, clubs, schools and causes to raise money and strengthen local food systems at the same time.  FarmRaiser uses technology and old-fashioned community organizing to power student-led fundraising using products from local farmers and artisans.

By giving student the tools to advocate for healthy eating and local food selection and allowing them to sell wholesome, locally grown and made products, FarmRaiser is restoring value and purpose to an annual ritual that has lost its way in a sea of sugar and junk food.
