A smarter way to Fundraise for your school

What is fost+lound?

Fost+Lound is a simple NFC tagging system that helps reunite students with their lost belongings — and it’s also a fantastic fundraising opportunity for your school.

The Parent Committee purchases Fost+Lound Starter Packs at a wholesale price and sells them to families through the school. The markup on each pack goes directly back to the committee to fund programs, equipment, and initiatives that benefit your students.

How It Works — For the Committee

1. Purchase at Wholesale

The Parent Committee purchases Fost+Lound Starter Packs directly from us at a special wholesale rate.

2. Distribute Through the School

Starter packs are sent home with students, promoted through newsletters, events, and parent communication channels.

3. Parents Pay Retail

Families purchase the packs at retail price — the difference between wholesale and retail is kept by the committee as fundraising profit.

4. Ongoing Sales

Parents can buy additional tags at any time (season changes, new sports gear, extra children), creating an ongoing income stream for your fundraising efforts.

How It Works — For Families

  • Parents tag their child’s belongings (jackets, lunchboxes, drink bottles, bags, shoes, etc.).

  • If an item is lost, it’s tapped on the school’s fost+lound Finder Portal.

  • The system sends an SMS to the parent letting them know it’s been found.

It’s a win for families — less money spent replacing lost items, and less time spent hunting through the school’s lost property.
