Fundraising for a school's friends' association.
At many schools and nurseries, friends' associations make possible what there is otherwise no money for: class trips, instruments, play equipment, books. Money is usually collected at school fêtes, parents' evenings or open days – and increasingly without cash.

The best opportunities
- School fêtes and summer fêtes
- Open days and information evenings
- Performances, concerts and sports days
- At the entrance or in the assembly hall – permanently with a fixed device
Concrete projects convince
Parents and grandparents give more readily when they know what for: "New books for the school library" convinces more than "Donation to the friends' association". Experiments show exactly that – concrete details about the purpose increase the willingness to give.
Cashless giving at school
At fêtes the mobile Dayaa Go works best; for the assembly hall or the entrance, the wall terminal Dayaa Wall or the stand Dayaa Stand with an advertising panel for your project. The software costs from €15 net per month depending on donation volume – in quiet months you pay little. More for education: Schools & universities.
