High Schools need funds to ensure they have the tools needed to support their organization.  Fundraising has helped satisfy this need.  However, the basic school fundraising model still involves handing a child a catalog and a sales sheet.

Often the child is motivated by incentives such as MP3 players, bicycles and athletic equipment. Such motivations sometimes result in children ignoring the rule that only friends and family should be approached creativing an unsafe environment.  Increasingly, parents are being asked to shoulder the fundraising responsibilities and are expected to sell to their colleagues, relatives, neighbors, and friends. Moreover, sales efforts annoy fellow workers and the cycle continues with fellow co-workers own fundraising drives and expect a reciprocal sale. Many companies have strict policies in force prohibiting these activities in the workplace.

Schools need a new model for raising funds day-in and day-out that is safe, effective and fun. With that being said, MyAlumniSite.com was founded to help organize their reunions as well as change the status quo for high school fundraising opportunities.

The site was built on a social networking platform that has increased communications, spawned new connections to old acquaintances, and renewed friendships with a comprehensive foundation that addresses the unique fundraising and relationship management needs of the high school. The bottom line…”It could help high schools reach more people, raise more money with no risk or cost".
