Easy Fundraising for Students

Hubbub Local offers a streamlined platform with customizable programs to help students raise money effectively. Our key approach involves Community Captains– local residents we train to lead efforts in their area. These Captains connect with local businesses to gather exclusive deals and information, which our team then uses to create a unique Discount Club for each Community. Students sell annual memberships to their local Club, offering a high–value fundraising product that saves members many times the cost of their donation, making it an appealing offer.

Flexible & Supportive Fundraising

Our platform is highly flexible, providing fundraising and support services for diververse formal groups like faith-based, school or civic Organizations, AND informal groups of families, friends and similarly Affiliated crews. Each set of students sells Club Memberships on their own schedules during the year. We support nearly any activity, group size, or experience level* with equal dedication, aiming to keep the volunteer burden very low. Our goal is to empower every student to "Earn more than ever before..." helping families manage budgets while enabling student to participate in enriching activities that foster lifelong success.

Smart Sales Tools Boost Profits

Hubbub Local enhances fundraising profits by providing students with essential sales tools and resources. These tools help students connect with friends, family, neighbors and the wider community. A key feature is the ability to close sales remotely. While our baseline is door-to-door sales, if no one's home, students can leave a custom flyer. Potential donors can then signup, pay and activate their annual Club membership directly on their phone through a self-signup process. This method significantly expands the potential donor base (e.g. at Church, the park or work, etc...). We've further boosted this by providing each student with a custom social media and email link, making it even easier to reach out beyond the usual limitations. Finally, our programs promote year to year continuity meaning last year's success boosts this year's goals... AND if even more help is needed we have plans for that too!

Hubbub Local Expanding Opportunity, Maximizing Results

The development of Hubbub Local has been both challenging and rewarding. Each update brings new improvements in security, usability and inclusiveness. A recent review identified several smart refinements that enhance donor engagement, increase business partner value and improve fundraising outcomes.

Key updates*

Promotional Deals: Business partners can run limited promotions on their own schedule

In-Store Sales: Employees at partner locations can now sell memberships Directly!

Pass-it-On Rewards: Club members can win prizes by referring others to Join

Fundraise Anywhere: Our Open Sales Model means that the "Sales Area" is drastically expanded when Family & Friends help the Student with their fundraiser. This works because our system lets Donors from Work, other neighborhoods (blue/green squares) and even Church (gray) activate their memberships in their home community, and the Student get the credit.

ADD-On Fundraisers*

Direct Donation: In-lieu of Purchase or Supplemental Cash gift to support Student

Targeted Donation: Support Designated Student or Organization Needs with confidence

Sponsorships: Student credit for Event/Field/Program Ads, Production or Expense Donations

Legacy & Supplemental: We can now use our secure and powerful Platform systems to promote, advertise, and RUN... established programs (Christmas trees & Wreaths, Easter Hams, Lift-a-thons & other events; Candy & other products being sold, Service Days, etc...) and Community-Oriented Campaigns (Buy-a-Brick, Pinestraw; Fall/Spring Clean up Service Days).
