About Boost My School

Creating a world where every school is able to raise the money it needs to advance its mission

We’re passionate about providing schools with the best online fundraising experiences.

Our Story

Founded to help schools

Boost My School began as an authentic grassroots effort. After needing to write a check in order to donate to his own high school math team, Boost My School Founder Holman Gao sat down to design an easier way for schools to engage the communities they serve.

Since launching in 2017, Boost My School has expanded to work with K-12 and higher ed advancement teams across the US, helping them raise millions of dollars to advance their schools’ missions.

We’re driven by our values

Connection

We believe that fundraising should always start with deepening the connection between students, alumni, and families with the schools they love

Collaboration

“A partnership in place of a purchase” is how Trish Rexhouse, Director of Donor Relations at Millbrook School describes our approach towards supporting customers

Transparency

Clear fees, the flexibility for you to choose exactly what you need and nothing more, and strategic support that helps you maximize fundraising efforts

We’re a team passionate about education
