Why families love GiftCrowd
GiftCrowd is the ideal way to bring the community together to show teachers & staff just how much you appreciate them.
Being a teacher is such a demanding job. Showing our appreciation by pulling our resources together is the least we can do. Thank you, GiftCrowd, for changing this tedious process into a hassle-free experience.

Teachers loved GiftCrowd because they got to choose the merchandise they wanted. And it was easy for us to coordinate with 30 kids in the class!

Nobody has to actually collect money and it takes the “running around town” processes out.

It was super easy for all families to join and contribute.

My kids attend a school where kids come from all over the county, so collecting money was always a nerve-wracking and time-consuming process. Using GiftCrowd made it a breeze. Last Christmas, we broke the participation rate record, and it only took eight days to collect all the gift funds.
D. Ryan, Montana
As a class mom (and it was always me), I dreaded the moment I would have to collect the teacher’s gift money and send numerous reminders to the other parents. GiftCrowd changed that completely.
