Impact on students
Why it truly matters for kids
Research shows that kids do better when they feel supported.
They earn high grades and have better self-esteem.
Parent–teacher groups are sometimes misunderstood as “nice-to-have” or just bake sales. In reality, they’re one of the quiet engines of a healthy community.
The opportunities that parent groups provide to students help them throughout their lives. We all need community that shows up for us and kids are no exception.
Kids feel seen and supported
A connected school community boosts confidence and belonging — both proven to improve student outcomes.
More enrichment & opportunities
Smooth-running parent groups can offer more clubs, field trips, and events that spark curiosity and joy.
Kids make better choices
Strong community networks are linked to safer behaviors and healthier decision-making in school-age kids.
More time for what matters
When volunteers aren’t putting out fires, they can focus on what actually helps kids thrive.
Big Nest helps parent groups spend less time on logistics — and more time building the school community every kid deserves.

While PayPal Giving doesn't charge processing fees, groups often raise more overall with Big Nest. For example, Sacajawea used PayPal Giving for years and considered it "good enough." When they moved their flower sale to their Big Nest site, their profits jumped 46%. The checkout was easier for families, and optional microdonations from parents covered the Stripe fees and even added extra dollars on top.
