About Us - GiveMore Impact
where giving meets lasting impact
GiveMore Impact was created with a simple but powerful belief: when families, schools, and communities come together to give, the impact can be life-changing for students.
Across many school communities, budget shortfalls and enrichment challenges continue to affect opportunities for children. These challenges often limit access to experiences that help students grow, explore, and feel connected to their school.
Recognizing this gap, we saw the need for a fundraising model that empowers schools to do more with every dollar given, paving the way for impactful giving through innovative fundraising shops.
turning giving into something kids love
At GiveMore Impact, we design school-based fundraising experiences that make giving fun and engaging for students. Through thoughtfully planned fundraising shops and events, children have the opportunity to engage in impactful giving while participating in school enrichment programs that feel exciting and empowering.

The Heart Behind GiveMore Impact
I’m Marilyn, the founder of GiveMore Impact, a parent, and a first responder dedicated to strengthening school communities. Throughout my career in service, I’ve learned that the wellbeing of a community depends on the support we give one another — and that includes the schools shaping our children’s futures.
My commitment to this work became personal when my children’s previous schools were shut down due to funding shortages and low enrollment. Experiencing that loss firsthand revealed just how vulnerable schools can be when resources fall short. It also made clear how essential it is for families and communities to step in and help bridge those gaps.
I launched GiveMore Impact to provide schools with reliable, community‑driven fundraising support that helps them overcome budget deficits and continue offering meaningful opportunities for students. My goal is to make fundraising easier, more effective, and more connected — so schools can focus on what matters most: educating and empowering kids.
At GiveMore Impact, I bring together my background in service, my passion for community, and my belief that every child deserves access to strong, well‑resourced schools. Together, we can give more, support more, and create lasting impact for the next generation.
