How many requests do you get for school fundraising donations? 

It's a big number, right? One kind-hearted and business savvy restaurant manager told us that she’d get about 30 requests per month, but her budget to contribute to this type of cause was only $250 per month.  The trouble was – how was she supposed to divvy up the funds?

•      First come, first served?  
•      The nicest requestors?
•      The most needy schools?

Even more troubling, how could she justify giving out gift cards that might not really drive more than one customer to her restaurant?

What if you could find an easier, fairer and more measurable way to run a multi-school fundraising promotion in your area? What if your actual customers could choose which schools your funds should help?

Good news! We can make you look like a local superhero!

You have found edRover, a business marketing platform dedicated to helping schools and businesses do a better job of supporting each other in these difficult economic times. You need visits, they need funds – so we help you swap!

You simply make an affordable payment to sponsor visits at specific places – either your own locations or community landmarks. We post these locations and your donation offer in both our award-winning mobile applications and on your dedicated page on our website.

Got a ton of locations serving a bunch of schools? No problem. We set it up and track it for you whether you have 1 or 10,000 locations, and whether you want to help 1 or 100,000 schools across the US.

When school supporters are looking for a business like yours, they’ll find you using our local search tools and come to your business to collect the donation with their mobile phones.

Here’s the best part – while potential customers can see your business is participating from the website or within a few miles of your location on our apps, they can’t check-in and collect the donation until they are within feet of your address! We bring them right to your doorstep and you seal the deal by presenting an irresistible special offer, promotion or announcement from your business which will turn them into happy, loyal customers. They may be so excited that they’ll share your location with their friends on Facebook, Twitter, SMS or email right from their phone.

Cause marketing, mobile marketing and social media marketing are some of the hottest ways to promote your business. Never before has it been so easy to use them in one powerful combination!  In our monthly reports, you’ll see it working and you'll feel great knowing that you are also helping your customers’ favorite schools.

Plus, you may get a hug or two from grateful parents, students and teachers who come in for your specials.
