Introducing JOLT: Your Fundraising Command Center
A simple dashboard that keeps parents and participants in the loop—no more asking the coach for updates.
If you’ve ever run a fundraiser, you know the drill. Parents asking "How much has my kid raised?" Coaches fielding texts about order status. Participants wondering if Grandma actually placed that order she promised.
We built JOLT to end all that.
What is JOLT?
JOLT is a simple, real-time dashboard that gives everyone involved in your fundraiser exactly what they need to know—without the back-and-forth.
Parents can check their child's progress anytime. Participants can see their personal sales and share their link with one tap. Coaches and coordinators get the big picture without drowning in spreadsheets.
No apps to download. No accounts to create. Just a link that works.
Here's What You Can Do with JOLT
Track Personal Progress
Every participant sees their own fundraising total, number of supporters, and progress toward team goals. It's motivating to watch those numbers climb.
Share in Seconds
One tap to copy your personal fundraising link. Share via text, email, or social media without hunting through emails to find it.
See Real-Time Orders
When Grandma places that order, it shows up immediately. No more wondering if a sale went through.
Celebrate Milestones
Hit a goal? JOLT lets you know. Small wins keep participants engaged throughout the fundraiser.
"We used to spend half our time answering parent questions about fundraiser status. Now they just check JOLT."
Why We Built This
Here's what we kept hearing from coaches and coordinators:
- "Parents keep asking me how their kid is doing."
- "I have no idea if the team is on track until the fundraiser ends."
- "My players don't know their own link, so they can't share it."
These aren't fundraising problems—they're communication problems. And they were burning out the exact people who volunteer their time to make fundraisers happen.
JOLT fixes this by giving everyone their own window into the fundraiser. Parents get peace of mind. Participants get ownership. Coordinators get their evenings back.
How It Works
When you start an Everygrind fundraiser, every participant automatically gets access to JOLT. Here's the flow:
- Participant gets added to your roster (by coach or coordinator)
- They receive a welcome email with their personal JOLT link
- They tap the link and instantly see their dashboard—no password needed
- Parents can access the same link to check on their child's progress
That's it. No apps, no logins, no friction.
Have participants text their JOLT link to family members. It's easier than explaining what to search for, and the personal connection drives more sales.
What Parents See
Parents care about one thing: how is my kid doing?
JOLT shows them:
- Total amount raised by their participant
- Number of orders and supporters
- Recent activity (new orders as they come in)
- Easy sharing options to help their child succeed
No logging in. No creating accounts. Just tap the link and see what matters.
Built for How People Actually Work
We designed JOLT around a simple observation: nobody wants another app or account to manage.
That's why JOLT is:
- Link-based, not app-based
- Works in any browser. Nothing to download or update.
- No passwords
- Secure access via unique links. No "forgot password" headaches.
- Mobile-first
- Because parents check fundraiser status from the bleachers, not a desk.
- Real-time
- Orders appear instantly. No waiting for batched updates.
