Schoolfundr Wins Tech & Learning Award for Innovation in Education

COLUMBUS, OH – Oct. 3, 2025 — Hometown is proud to announce that Schoolfundr, our digital fundraising solution, has been named a winner in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2025 in the Secondary Education category.

The Tech & Learning Awards recognize products that are reshaping education through innovation, and Schoolfundr stood out for making school fundraising easier, more transparent, and more impactful for students and communities.

Unlike traditional fundraising models that take upwards of 20% of your hard-earned dollars, Schoolfundr’s fee-free platform enables schools, athletic programs, and parent organizations to raise more and keep more of the funds they raise. With built-in tools for campaign creation, secure online giving, real-time tracking, and automated reporting, Schoolfundr streamlines every step of the fundraising process and helps student programs raise money faster and with less administrative effort. 

“Winning this award is a tremendous honor,” said Dennis Levene, CEO at Hometown. “Schoolfundr was built to make fundraising easier and more impactful for schools and their student programs. This recognition from Tech & Learning validates the difference we’re making in schools and communities across the nation.”
