Homeschool families belong here.
Bring your family, friends or co-op together to support the community you share. We will help you get your team started.
Homeschooling is part of our own family’s story. SmartSlaps welcomes homeschool families alongside teachers, parents and community volunteers. Your team can support a school, library, fire department, EMS, law enforcement, museum or another legitimate community mission.
Raise for your community.
Choose a service or need you care about. Join its existing team with an adult-managed fundraiser, or ask us to help create the shared team. Use a family, co-op or group name for fundraising credit, with no need to identify children.
You do not need to operate a school or create your own nonprofit to organize a team through SmartSlaps.
Raise for an eligible co-op program.
If your co-op needs support for its own educational program, tell us about it. We review the organization and proposed use before approving it as a recipient or launching its fundraiser.
A co-op name or a school listing alone is not approval. We will explain which records are needed and help you work through the next step.
Your team earns the credit. The mission receives the support.
A team brings people together and shows who raised support. The recipient is the verified organization or program the funds help. They can be different.
For example: a homeschool co-op can organize a fundraiser for its local library. Donations are credited to the co-op’s fundraiser and designated for that library. They are not paid to individual families.
We will help you put it together.
- Tell us who you want to help. Start with a community need, or ask us to help you choose.
- Build the team. We confirm the recipient, help with the page and check its donation link.
- Choose your Guardians. School and library teams choose their Guardians; fire uses Fernley, EMS Reno and law enforcement Leo. We agree your team’s supply before shipping.
- Share, scan and follow through. Use your checked team or member link and personalized QR materials for the right fundraising credit. Follow the support sent to the mission and help share its updates.
Guardian SmartSlaps introduce your cause and make donating easier. Team supplies are for community fundraising, not curriculum packages or personal sticker giveaways.
What makes a recipient eligible?
A co-op seeking support for its own program needs verification of its legal entity or sponsor, any required registration, community purpose and intended payee. Schools must meet the applicable registration or recognition requirements. A family homeschool notice or team registration does not by itself establish an eligible school or recipient.
Your team chooses its fundraising goal. We confirm an adult representative, a legitimate community purpose and the recipient’s identity and payment details. An itemized budget is optional; it is not a condition for starting a team. We record donations and support sent to the recipient. Creating a team does not make the group a 501(c)(3).
Personal bills, tuition for an individual child and household purchases are outside this community-team program. You can still participate by supporting an legitimate community mission.
You bring the care. We help with the setup.
No finished plan is required to reach out. Tell us what your family or co-op wants to make possible.
Adults manage pages, messages and donations. Children can participate without public names, photos, profiles or individual fundraising targets.
