Crowded is a financial platform that offers booster clubs an easy way to collect, spend and manage money online.

Booster clubs are constantly collecting money – bake sales, donation drives, membership fees, and etc. Using Crowded to collect these funds from others is safe, easy and trackable.

When the club needs to spend, they can spend from the same place where they collect. The club treasurer can issue digital debit cards as needed to members to spend with budgeted amounts.

Also, use Crowded Rewards to generate extra income for your booster club!
