Problem
School associations and educational cooperatives in France rely on outdated fundraising methods such as collecting cash or checks, which are often lost, time-consuming to count, and limit the reach of donation campaigns. Managing memberships, contributions, and fundraising events manually creates administrative burdens that divert time away from educational activities.
Solution
Jaïkan provides a dedicated digital platform for micro-fundraising and donation management tailored to the education sector. The platform allows associations to create a showcase page, launch crowdfunding campaigns, set up online stores, and collect membership fees or back-to-school contributions through secure online payments. Donors automatically receive tax receipts when eligible, simplifying the donation process and increasing contribution rates. Jaïkan also offers personalized support to help associations maximize their campaign impact, and it is registered as a participatory financing intermediary with ORIAS.
Target Audience
Primary users are educational associations in France, including OCCE-affiliated school cooperatives, FSE & MDL organizations, parent-teacher associations, and school sports associations.
