To our team, our school partners, and the communities we serve,
Today, we’re proud to introduce the new Hometown — a brand that reflects our growth, our purpose, and our promise to schools.
The Vision: a Unified Platform for School Fundraising, Ticketing & Websites
This launch marks more than a new look. It’s the next step in a journey that began when Hometown Ticketing and Schoolfundr came together to build something bigger: a single platform that helps schools manage events, raise funds, share their story, and bring their communities together. Everything we’ve built — ticketing, fundraising, communications, and websites now lives under one unified brand, designed with and for school leaders like you.
Every school has a story. A Friday night rivalry game. A senior showcase. A fundraiser that sends students to nationals. These moments don’t happen by themselves; they’re built by dedicated educators, tireless volunteers, and passionate communities.
At Hometown, our story is about empowering yours.
Solutions Built With Schools in Mind
Our mission is simple and deeply rooted: to empower schools to build stronger communities and deliver better experiences beyond the classroom.
At the heart of every strong school community are in-person events, games, performances, fundraisers, and gatherings that bring people together and create lasting memories. We exist to enable those experiences. We know impactful experiences are getting harder to pull off. Budgets are shrinking. Costs are rising. School staff and volunteers are being asked to do more with less, often without the tools they need to meet growing expectations. That’s why we’re building solutions that are intuitive, easy to use, affordable, and built with heart. Whether it's a district-wide ticketing system, a fundraising campaign, or a new website for your community, we’re here to remove friction, build trust, and amplify impact, so you can focus on what matters most: bringing your community together.
We believe schools deserve flexibility, not restrictions. That’s why Hometown is designed to be open, so you can choose the tools that best fit your needs without being locked into a one-size-fits-all system. Whether you start with one solution or adopt the fully integrated platform, we’re here to meet you where you are. When you're ready to bring everything together, we’ve built a seamless, easy-to-use experience that connects ticketing, fundraising, communications, and websites, which saves time, reduces friction, and helps your entire school community thrive.
We envision a world where technology doesn’t overwhelm but it empowers. Where fundraising is transparent, equitable, and fee-free. Where school staff and volunteers can focus on what matters to students. Where every ticket sold, dollar raised, and message sent helps build a stronger school community. That’s why we’re building a single platform where events, engagement, and support all live under one roof because schools deserve a system that works as hard as they do. With the recent launch of Hometown Engage, we’re extending that vision even further — giving schools and districts a free, modern solution for websites and communications that strengthens their connection with families, fans, and the broader community.
The Legacy Behind the Hometown Brand
The Hometown brand is built on the foundation laid by two trusted names: Hometown Ticketing and Schoolfundr.
For years, Hometown Ticketing earned the confidence of schools across the country by delivering reliable, flexible tools that make managing events seamless. Schoolfundr redefined what schools should expect from fundraising putting trust, transparency, and equity at the center of every campaign. Together, these solutions shared a belief that technology should serve schools, not complicate them. That belief lives on. Today’s Hometown carries forward that legacy with purpose and clarity. We are here to make life easier for the people who make school communities work, especially those who bring students, families, and fans together through in-person events that define the school experience. Every decision we make is grounded in the idea that strong schools build strong communities, strong communities shape future generations, and that the right tools, in the right hands, can make all the difference.
The Future of Hometown
To the Hometown team: this brand is more than a logo or website. It’s a reflection of the care you bring to your work every day. You answer the phone when others won’t. You help solve real problems for real people. You build products that are actually used, not because they’re flashy, but because they’re useful. That’s rare. That’s valuable. That’s Hometown.
To the schools, districts, coaches, boosters, and community leaders who trust us, we see you. We’re inspired by you. And we’re building this brand and this company around your needs. Our promise to you is this: we’ll keep showing up. We’ll keep improving. We’ll never lose sight of what really matters: the students, the people who support them, and the powerful in-person moments that bring school communities together.
We’re just getting started.
