Frequently Asked Questions

IS REWIRED & REAL ONLY FOR SCHOOLS? Not at all! We support teams, groups, and organizations of all types and sizes. Rewired & Real is a great fit for everyone!

I LOST MY SCHOOL'S FLIER/EMAIL WITH THE LINK AND/OR QR CODE. HOW CAN I JOIN MY SCHOOL'S FUNDRAISER? No problem! Email us at bekind@rewiredandreal.com with your school's name, and we'll send you the link.

ARE THERE ANY UPFRONT FEES? None! Create your account for free. Fees are only applied when you receive donations.

HOW DO I RESERVE MY DATES? There's no need to reserve dates. Start your fundraiser whenever it suits your group!

DO DONORS MAKE PLEDGES THAT HAVE TO BE COLLECTED? Nope! Our model is donation-based, so there's no need for collections—yay! We will do the asking.

DO STUDENTS GET PLEDGES PER ACT OF KINDNESS? Nope. This is about paying it forward, not getting paid to be kind! Participants perform acts of kindness regardless of donations.

WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY FUNDS? Receive funds at the end of your fundraiser! We will be in touch every step of the way.

HOW DOES THE 80% WORK? At the end of your fundraiser, we'll calculate the total net fees. Net fees are the Rewired & Real platform fees, plus payment processing fees.

CAN WE ACCEPT CASH/CHECKS? Yes! Log all cash/check donations into the software so students and classrooms get credit, then deposit them into your bank account. Checks should be made payable to your organization and include the student's name and teacher. Rewired & Real fees applies to all donations, including credit card, check, and cash payments.

DOES THE REWIRED & REAL FEE APPLY TO CASH/CHECKS? Yes, it does. At the end of your fundraiser, Rewired & Real will calculate the fees due on cash/check donations and will deduct from the total amount. It’s a goal, and a tax thang.

DOES REWIRED & REAL PROVIDE INCENTIVES? We offer incentive ideas that are available in the Resource Library.

WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS? No worries! Everyone can participate with Rewired & Real. Paper kindness trackers are now available within the resource library.

HOW ARE ACTS OF KINDNESS PERFORMED? INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A GROUP? Both! We encourage both individual and group acts of kindness. We have a bunch of fun ideas that are impactful, unique and for the most part age appropriate - remember, everyone can be kind!

HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE STUDENTS COMPLETE THE ACTS OF KINDNESS? We operate on the honor system. Remind students about the importance of honesty if logging acts of kindness. We suggest offering recognition and special privileges as prizes instead of costly items, it’s another way to show kindness.
