The Operating System for School Communities
Replace the spreadsheets, email chains, and Venmo requests. Growing Grounds gives PTOs, booster clubs, and school organizations one place for events, fundraising, volunteers, and communications.
Everything Your Organization Needs
Nine powerful modules that replace the spreadsheets, group texts, and separate apps your PTO juggles today.
Zero Transaction Fees. Every Dollar Goes to Your School.
Most platforms charge 5-10% on every transaction. On a $20,000 fundraiser, that's $1,000-$2,000 gone. With Growing Grounds, you pay a flat subscription — and keep 100% of what you raise.

No training needed. If you can use Facebook, you can run Growing Grounds.

Loved by PTO Leaders Everywhere
Hear from the parents, presidents, and treasurers who switched.
Growing Grounds replaced five different tools we were juggling. Now our entire PTO board is on the same page, and parent participation has doubled.
As treasurer, I used to spend hours reconciling spreadsheets. Now I generate financial reports in two clicks. Tax season is actually manageable.
Our booster club raised 40% more this year because families could actually find and sign up for events. The volunteer coordination alone is worth it.
The transition from our old system was seamless. We imported everything in under an hour and haven't looked back since.
Volunteer sign-ups used to be chaos — texting, emailing, hoping people showed up. Now parents pick their shifts and get automatic reminders.
We saved over $2,000 in our first year just from eliminating transaction fees. That money went straight to classroom supplies.
The spirit wear store is a game-changer. We used to manage orders on paper — now everything is automated with real-time inventory tracking.
When I handed off the presidency, the new board had everything they needed on day one. No lost spreadsheets, no missing contacts.
Parent engagement went from 15% to over 60% after we launched. Families love being able to see and sign up for everything in one place.
The communication tools alone justified the switch. We went from 200 unread emails to organized announcements that parents actually read.
Our spring carnival raised 3x more than last year. Online ticketing and volunteer coordination made all the difference.
As a district admin managing 8 schools, the multi-school dashboard gives me visibility I never had before. Reporting takes minutes instead of days.
