How to do the Pick-a-Date Fundraiser
Say goodbye to cash collection and awkward follow-ups. Paramount Fundraising's all-digital pick-a-date calendar makes raising money simple, automatic, and contact-free—just share and watch the donations roll in.
The “Pick-a-Date” Calendar Fundraiser, Reinvented
The "pick-a-date" calendar fundraiser has been around for a while. The basic idea is simple:
A calendar is shared online, through email, or on social media. Donors pick the date that corresponds to the amount they wish to donate, and that becomes their contribution. The selected date is typically marked off or scratched out.
Now There’s a Better Way
Paramount Fundraising has revolutionized this concept by creating an all-digital format for the pick-a-date fundraiser!
👉 Click on the calendar below to see it in action—you can click a date and go through the full payment experience.

Why the Traditional Method Falls Short
With the old-school version:
Donors have to figure out how to send their donation (Cash, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, etc.)
The member then has to transfer the money to the organization
This often leads to awkward follow-ups and missed donations
The Digital Advantage
With Paramount Fundraising’s all-digital solution:
✅ A custom calendar is created for your organization

✅ Members simply share it on social media—that’s it!
✅ Donors click the date(s) they want and are taken to a secure payment screen
