Perry Service Learning Transforms Fundraising with Schoolfundr
Empowering Students, Elevating Fundraising
Perry Service Learning (PSL) at Perry High School has empowered students to tackle community needs and champion justice since 2004. However, like many service-based programs, fundraising was a persistent challenge. The team struggled to balance professionalism, simplicity, and impact—until they discovered Schoolfundr, a platform that made fundraising both effective and stress-free.
The Challenge: Fundraising That Fell Short
For years, PSL relied on traditional tools that felt outdated and impersonal.
“Emails from students just didn’t feel polished or professional. On top of that, the limited customer support made it frustrating when we ran into issues.”
— Allison Trentanelli, Teacher | Perry Service Learning
The lack of branding and a fragmented user experience led to missed opportunities and donor disengagement.
The Solution: Enter Schoolfundr
Everything changed when PSL adopted Schoolfundr. Designed for simplicity and impact, the platform offered a modern, professional fundraising solution tailored to school programs.
A Polished Donor Experience
“Our Schoolfundr page is both professional and personal, with customized pages for each student.”

With clean design and customizable templates, PSL’s fundraising pages were no longer cluttered emails—they were polished, donor-friendly experiences that inspired giving.
Exceptional Customer Support
“Schoolfundr’s customer service is unmatched. They were quick to respond to emails and made launching our campaigns completely stress-free.”
— Allison Trentanelli
PSL’s team was empowered with responsive help, ensuring confidence with every campaign launch.
Keeping More Funds in the Community
“This was huge for us. It means more resources can go toward supporting our service projects and community partners.”
— Allison Trentanelli
Unlike many platforms that take significant fees, Schoolfundr allows organizations to retain 97% of all funds raised. For PSL, this meant more money for initiatives like poverty awareness, environmental education, and local justice projects.
