What a Year: Looking Back at 2025 and Celebrating a Remarkable Year

Double GoodDecember 8, 2025 • Read 4 Min

2025 proved just how powerful people can be when they come together with purpose. From small teams to large school programs, groups across the country stepped up to make a difference—turning creativity, generosity, and small actions into real impact.

What an Impact You Made

This year’s success was driven by families, students, supporters, and communities showing up for causes they care about. Together, here’s what you and Double Good accomplished in 2025:

  • 75,000+ causes supported nationwide

  • $120+ million raised for teams, schools, and youth organizations

  • 669,000+ sellers launched a Pop-Up Store®

  • 4.5 million+ people supported a fundraiser through buying popcorn

  • 22 million+ bags of popcorn enjoyed

1.5 million bags donated to teachers and school staff

* Numbers as of December 2025

Stories Behind the Success

While the numbers show the scale of impact, the stories are what really drive our mission to spread joy.  We were heartened to see how communities across the country found new ways to reach their goals—some raising funds for the very first time, others building on years of experience.

Among the many incredible organizations exceeding their fundraising goals this year, we want to share five organizations who pulled together as a team around a shared purpose to raise the most funds in 2025. 

1. The Imani School

Raised more than $97,000 to expand school programs, update technology, and enhance extracurricular opportunities. Their success grew from a community deeply committed to investing in the next generation.

2. Beasley Academic Center

Surpassed $88,000, channeling funds into essential classroom necessities and new reading materials—resources that will shape student learning daily.

3. Monarch Awards Foundation

Raised over $71,000 to support community programs and scholarships, strengthening the foundation of opportunity for individuals across their network.

4. New Hope Christian School

Brought in more than $64,000 to upgrade school technology and help offset tuition costs, ensuring greater access and support for families.

5. California All Stars

Raised more than $59,000 to ease the burden of competitive cheerleading expenses—uniforms, competition fees, tuition, and more—allowing athletes to focus on their passion rather than financial strain.

A Year Defined by Community

This year brought powerful reflections on what it means to fundraise with purpose.

Double Good makes it easy for small organizations to raise funds to further their mission without sacrificing the time they need to spend pouring into the lives we impact.

-Kelli Kelli Hart, Ed.S. Principal of New Hope Christian School

It’s a sentiment echoed again and again, that when fundraising becomes easier, communities have more time to focus on what truly matters: the people they serve.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As the new year approaches, we are reflecting on the late-night planning and strategizing, the cheering from the sidelines, and the impact that will last long after the last delicious bite of popcorn..

Here’s to the next chapter, to the causes yet to come, and to the people who make it all possible.

Now inspired. Let’s get fundraising.

Get ready to boost your fundraising game and create a Pop-Up Store that pops and helps you meet your goals.
