For private & parochial schools

Funding that matches the pace of your school — not a school-board calendar.

Private schools move faster than public districts. There's no RFP, no procurement committee — just parents, faculty, and a head of school who can decide today. DiscountOneCard fits that. Year-round digital fundraising for tuition assistance, capital projects, retreat trips, or wherever you need the dollars.

Why it fits

Built for tight communities, not 50-school districts.

Decisions move fast

You don't need a board vote and an RFP. A head of school plus a development office can launch in a week.

Higher engagement

Tight communities convert at much higher rates than 1,500-family public schools. Word travels in your school within hours.

Funds what matters

Tuition assistance, scholarships, the capital campaign, the spring retreat, the chapel renovation — admin picks.

No inventory

Every family has a phone. Nothing to print, ship, store in a closet, or lose.

Year-round, not just gala season

A card sold in March keeps generating revenue until next March, regardless of academic calendar.

Demo-able in chapel

Show the QR scan in assembly. Parents see it work. They sign up that night.

How it works

Three steps. Live in a week.

1

We set up your school

Your name, crest, colors, and a development-office login. Families can already sign up.

2

You bring partners

The pizza place near campus, the family-owned hardware store, the orthodontist parents already use. We help you onboard them.

3

Announce + collect

One email to families, a slide in chapel, a flyer in the carline. Memberships start arriving.

FAQ

Common questions from heads of school and development directors.

Can we direct funds to a specific scholarship instead of general operating?

Yes. You can run separate affiliate codes (one for tuition assistance, one for the capital campaign, one for the music program). Funds attribute to whichever code the family used at signup.

We're a small school (under 100 families). Is this overkill?

No — the platform is the same whether you have 80 families or 8,000. Setup time is identical. Smaller schools often see higher participation rates than large public districts.

We already run an annual gala. Does this compete?

It complements. The gala is a once-a-year event; this is a year-round revenue base that doesn't ask donors for the same dollar twice. Gala donors aren't usually the same families spending $25 on a discount card.

Are local businesses willing to participate for a private school?

Often more willing — private school parents tend to be the ideal customer for local businesses (high household income, brand loyal). We'll help you make the pitch.
