Your block, your name, their future.
Put a photo of the field, the hall or the new bus on a grid. Parents, old pupils and local businesses each fund a block, and their name stays on it. Payments go straight into the school’s own account.
Free to start. The School plan is R199 a month.

Tap an open block to fund it. It’s a demo; nothing is charged.
A school admin can do it in one sitting, with the PayFast details to hand.
Your school’s name, colours and PayFast details. Card payments from supporters are paid into that account.
The field, the roof, the bus. Upload its photo, set the goal and what one block costs, and the grid works out its own size.
Send the link or QR code to parents on WhatsApp, in the newsletter or on a poster at the gate. No app or account needed to give.
Each block funded by card shows the supporter’s name straight away. Cash handed in at the office is added by hand.
Run one at a time on the free plan, or several side by side on the School plan.
A photo of the field, hall or bus divided into blocks. Each supporter funds a block and their name goes on it, so the whole school can see who made it happen.
Numbered tickets for prizes, often donated by local businesses. The draw runs on its own a day after sales close, and anyone can check it was fair.
No grid: a goal, a story and a progress bar. For bursaries, the library, outreach, anything without a photo.
Local businesses claim team kit, from the U9s to the first team and from jersey fronts to tracksuits. One claim wins at the minimum; two or more go to a silent bid (72 hours by default), with results live on the big screen.
Each school connects its own PayFast merchant account. When a parent pays by card, PayFast settles the money with the school, and the supporter’s name appears on their block the moment the payment clears.
The school receives each payment less PayFast’s standard card fee, which PayFast shows on every transaction. BLOCKr takes nothing from it: our optional fee is added on top by the supporter.
One login can run several schools, so a principal or bursar overseeing more than one school manages them all in one place.
Start free. Move to the School plan when you run more than one campaign at a time.

10 payments, February to November (R1,990 a year).
A well-resourced school can sponsor the School plan for a school with fewer resources: R1,990 a year. The sponsored school runs as many campaigns as it needs, and its parents are never asked for a cent more than the gift they choose.
Schools that would like a sponsor say so in their settings. Sponsors pick a school, and the sponsored school’s campaign pages say who made it possible.
