Your whole school community,
in one place.
Give your alumni, staff and families a home for school news, and raise funds for the projects that matter, paid straight into your school’s own account.
What you get
Everything a school community needs
Your school’s page
One page for your school’s story, news, staff and campaigns, under your crest.
Your staff, on board
Invite teachers by email or with a link. They add their role, you confirm it, and they appear on your Staff tab.
News that reaches people
Post as the school and it lands in the feeds of everyone who follows you, from recent alumni to grandparents.
Campaigns that raise money
Run a campaign for a new classroom or a sports tour, with monthly and once-off gifts and progress everyone can see.
How the money works
Your money, in your account
Fundraising on Brightnote is built so your school stays in control of every rand.
Straight to your bank account
Gifts are paid through Paystack into your school’s own account. Brightnote never holds the money.
Receipts handled for you
Donors get their receipt from Paystack, and you see every gift and payout in your school app.
Secure card payments
Card details go to Paystack, never to the school or to Brightnote.
See what's possible
