Lift Local Fundraising — Our Story

Lift Local Fundraising was built on the belief that fundraising should do more than just raise money.

After years of working with schools, teams, and community groups, we saw a consistent problem: organizations were putting in tremendous effort to sell products people weren’t excited about, while high-quality local businesses struggled to reach new customers.

Lift Local Fundraising connects these two needs. We partner with trusted local businesses and turn everyday purchases into meaningful support for schools, teams, and community organizations. The result is a fundraiser that’s easier to run, more enjoyable for supporters, and more impactful for everyone involved.

Our mission is straightforward: help organizations raise more money, help local businesses grow, and keep dollars circulating within the communities they serve.

What Makes Lift Local Different

• We offer products people actually want

• We keep fundraising simple and organized

• We handle the backend logistics so groups can focus on selling

• We believe fundraising should feel good — not forced

“I’ve spent years working alongside schools, teams, and small businesses. Lift Local Fundraising was created because I saw firsthand how much better fundraising could be. This isn’t just a business — it’s a commitment to helping communities win together”.
