Any member of a school community — an alum, a parent, a reunion organizer, or the school itself — can launch a trusted-business directory for their community. We build it, operate it, monetize it, and donate a percentage of the revenue back to the school. Schools that choose to officially endorse the directory earn an even higher donation.
A community member launches the directory in their school's community. SchoolBizHub builds and operates it. The school receives a monthly donation from the revenue we generate — and earns a higher donation tier if they choose to officially endorse and promote it. Either way, the school carries no cost, no operational work, and no liability.
An alum, parent, reunion organizer, or community leader launches the directory. We build and operate it using community-owned branding (e.g. "The [Mascot] Alumni Community Directory"). A percentage of revenue is donated to the school each month — no approval or paperwork required on their end.
Not a Facebook group. Not a Google Doc. A real directory product — vetted listings, role-based verification, exclusive deals, live leaderboards, and payment-ready tiers.
Every business is reviewed by your community admins before going live. Alumni-owned badges, role verification, ratings, and reviews built in.
Exclusive discount codes and VIP offers that only log-in members can see. Travel, medical, legal, real estate — gated by community.
Free, Pro ($29/mo), and Elite ($79/mo) tiers out of the box. Stripe built in. Your community earns revenue from day one.
Members earn points for inviting others. Top referrers get featured placement. Built-in viral loop, custom to your school.
Alumni mixers, reunions, podcast tapings, networking nights — RSVPs, calendar sync, and sponsorship promotion.
Instagram feed integration via your community hashtag. Featured posts, member spotlights, and content rotation — all automated.
Bronze/Silver/Gold/Exclusive packages that guarantee #1 category placement for 3, 6, or 12 months. Premium revenue line.
Alumni, Parent, Teacher, Student, Spouse. Private verification fields keep your community genuinely your community.
A Community Lead — an alum, parent, or school representative — reserves the handle and names the directory. We build, populate, and operate it. The school receives a monthly donation from revenue generated. No partnership paperwork required.
Anyone in the community can initiate the directory: an alum, a parent, a class council member, a reunion organizer, a booster club president — or the school itself. They become the Community Lead, help us choose a community-owned name, and serve as the local point of contact.
Our team stands up the directory in the community's colors, recruits alumni and parent-owned businesses, vets every listing, and opens the platform to members. Typically live within 30 days. The Community Lead helps rally the first wave of listings; we handle everything else.
A percentage of recurring revenue is donated to the school each month — with transparent reporting and zero paperwork required of the institution. If the school chooses to officially endorse the directory and help promote it, they qualify for a higher donation tier.
You don't need to be the head of school, the alumni director, or the board chair to launch a directory for your community. You just need to know the community and want to see it have one. If the school itself wants to launch it, even better — they qualify for the elevated donation tier from day one.
Turn your alumni network into an active, donation-generating marketplace. Classes 2010 and 1995 finally have a reason to talk to each other — and the school benefits monthly.
Give parents a vetted directory of trusted local businesses — pediatricians, tutors, contractors, camps — all recommended by other families. The school benefits, the PTA can receive the donation, everyone wins.
If the school wants to officially endorse the directory, help promote it through newsletters and reunion emails, and direct the donation to the general fund or a specific cause — they qualify for the elevated donation tier from day one.
A favorite teacher wanting to support their school. A current student organizing the senior class. A booster parent who saw it at another school and wants it here. If you care about the community, you can launch it.
SchoolBizHub monetizes the directory through tiered advertising subscriptions and premium placements. A percentage of that recurring revenue is donated to the school each month — with a higher donation tier reserved for schools that choose to officially endorse and help promote the directory.
Because the directory is launched by a community member and operated by SchoolBizHub — not by the school — the school has no exposure to business transactions, member disputes, or operational liability. The school simply receives a monthly donation.
A Community Lead launches the directory using community-owned branding (e.g. "The Alumni & Family Community Directory") — no permission, partnership agreement, or school-board vote needed. Schools that want to officially endorse and promote it are welcome to, and earn a higher donation tier in exchange.
Service agreements, payments, and refunds are strictly between the member and the business. Neither SchoolBizHub nor the school is a party to those transactions or responsible for how they turn out. The directory is a vetted referral platform, not a marketplace escrow.
When a negative review is posted, our team verifies it — confirming the reviewer had a real interaction with the business and giving the business a chance to respond. We do not mediate refunds or settle disagreements. We maintain directory integrity by surfacing honest feedback and removing businesses with verified patterns of complaints.
Every page carries a prominent "Operated by SchoolBizHub · Not officially affiliated with [School]" notice (unless the school has chosen to officially endorse), along with terms of service members accept at signup that set expectations for how business relationships work.
You don't need to represent the school to start this. You just need to be part of the community. Tell us a little about your school, and we'll send a one-page summary showing exactly how it works, what the donation model looks like, and the elevated-tier option if you're able to bring the school on board later.
Community members build the spark. We build the platform. The school receives a monthly donation — with a higher tier reserved for schools that want to endorse and promote it. No paperwork. No risk. Just generosity that flows in one direction.
