Hometown Recognized as a 2025 Top Innovative Tech Leader for Schools

We’re excited to share that Hometown has been named a Top Innovative School District Tech Leader of 2025 by Education Technology Insights magazine.

This annual list recognizes education-focused technology companies driving innovation and improving how schools operate and connect with their communities. Hometown was honored for its all-in-one platform that powers digital ticketing, online fundraising, and event-focused school websites, giving schools the tools they need to simplify operations and engage supporters.

Centralized Tools That Save Time and Strengthen Engagement

Education Technology Insights spotlights how Hometown supports school operations across three key solutions:

  • Digital Ticketing & Event Access
    From game days to concerts, Hometown’s digital ticketing solution, Box Office, helps schools sell, scan, and manage admission seamlessly. Built-in reporting and offline scanning give staff more control and flexibility at every event.

  • Online Fundraising with Schoolfundr
    Hometown’s fundraising solution, Schoolfundr, gives schools the ability to launch and manage online campaigns for athletics, arts, clubs, and more. With a simple setup and no upfront costs, schools keep more of what they raise and engage supporters more effectively.

  • Branded Websites for Communication & Promotion
    Through Hometown’s Engage solution, schools can launch a custom-branded website that puts schedules, events, ticket links, and program info in one accessible place. The platform is mobile-friendly, easy to update, and designed to strengthen the connection between schools and their communities.

Why It Matters

By combining these tools into one streamlined experience, Hometown helps schools:

  • Save time for administrators and staff
  • Increase community participation and attendance
  • Raise more money for programs
  • Strengthen brand presence and communication

“We fully align ourselves with our customers to put the best interests of schools first. When schools succeed — whether it’s driving more fans to attend sporting events or tapping into community support to raise more funds — we succeed. That student-first, customer-centric focus is what truly sets Hometown apart,” said Dennis Levene, CEO of Hometown.

A Recognition of Partnership and Purpose

We believe schools deserve tools that are both powerful and practical — solutions that help staff do their jobs more easily while making it easier for communities to come together. We’re honored to be recognized as a 2025 Top Innovative School District Tech Leader and remain committed to helping schools deliver meaningful, memorable moments every day.
