Cool idea though! How do your terms compare to something like gofundme?

Thanks for pointing that out, we're working on fixing it.

As compared to gofundme, our terms are similar in that there are no penalties for missed deadlines and the fundraiser gets to keep any amount they raise. It didn't seem right to reject donations just because the goal wasn't met. If a fundraiser can raise any amount, then it makes their future debt much more manageable.

We've been tossing around the idea of removing the deadline, but because of the gap of time between acceptance and your first tuition payment, we inserted a deadline to focus donations in our limited timeframe. In the future, we can encourage applicants to create campaigns as quickly as possible, in order to maximize the amount of time before the first tuition payment. In theory, fundraisers can continue their campaigns until their full tuition is covered, where a portion of the total is sent directly to the school in order to cover that particular payment period. At the very least, it will buy fundraisers more time to cover the total cost of their needs.
