Paepah started with a simple observation: fundraising for schools, sports teams, and community organizations is way harder than it needs to be. Order forms, door-to-door selling, weeks of waiting, inventory headaches — and at the end of it all, a cheque that barely covers what the effort was worth. We decided to fix that.
Every year, millions of school councils, sports associations, scout groups, and community organizations run fundraisers the same way they did 30 years ago. Parents knock on doors selling chocolate bars. Volunteers chase down order forms and chase payments. Coordinators spend weekends sorting and distributing physical products. And after all of that effort, the organization might walk away with a few hundred dollars.
The fundraising industry hadn't moved with the times. We thought it could.
What if you could run a fundraiser that required almost nothing from your team — no inventory, no door-to-door, no order forms — and still put real money in your organization's account?
The question that started PaepahThe answer was digital products. Beautiful, practical, instantly downloadable printables that supporters actually want — not just items they feel obligated to buy. No shipping. No logistics. No waiting three weeks for products to arrive.
We handle everything: we create the products, build your branded storefront, process every payment, deliver every download automatically, and deposit your earnings directly into your account. Your team shares one link. That's it.
Paepah is built on a few core beliefs about how fundraising should work for organizations and the communities behind them.
PTAs, coaches, and volunteer coordinators are already giving their time. Fundraising shouldn’t add to that burden. We exist to give that time back.
The fewer steps between "I want to fundraise" and "I’m earning money," the better. Every decision we make is about reducing friction for organizations.
You always know exactly what you earn, when you get paid, and how it works. No hidden fees, no confusing fine print, no surprises.
Everything in your storefront — from the products to the page design — is crafted to make your organization look good and your supporters feel great about buying.
Paepah exists to strengthen communities. When a school raises money for a library or a team raises money for equipment, everyone wins — and we take that seriously.
Paepah is a proudly Calgary-based company. We know the Alberta community landscape and we’re invested in the organizations that make it thrive.
Paepah is designed for any organization with an engaged community behind it. We work best with groups that have regular communication with their supporters — a newsletter, a parent group, a social media following, or a mailing list — because that's what turns a storefront link into real fundraising results.
You don't need to be large. Some of our most successful campaigns come from small organizations with tight-knit communities who share the link enthusiastically. What matters is that your supporters care about what you do.
