How is Fund-Team.com different from other online fundraisers?
How can there be a difference in online fundraising companies? Business is business, right?
Not at Fund-Team.com. We pride ourselves in treating everyone like a member of our own community. We remain a small company of booster parents. We're not all about profit - if we were, we'd charge the same as the other companies and make 4x more commission.
We've heard negative stories again and again about other online fundraising companies, and we think about our own kids and their coaches/directors and can't imagine them being treated like that.

Other Online Fundraisers:
Most of our competitors charge 20%-30% commission on fundraising campaigns.
Some will even charge more if you have a modest fundraising goal. They’re in business
to make as much money from your non-profit as possible, with salespeople who earn their
salary from your organization’s donations.
Fund-Team.com:
We only charge 5% commission to use Fund-Team.com. Our growth over
the years has largely been due to referrals from our happy customers. We do not have
any salespeople. Knowing that the high commission you’re being charged is paying their
salary, do you think a salesperson is always looking out for what is best for your
organization? We eliminate this ‘middle man’ and pass the savings of their salaries
on to you. Our user-friendly platform means that you won’t need a salesperson onsite
during your sign-up meeting; you can schedule it on a day that works for you and your
participants and run it on your own.
Other Online Fundraisers: If you've
used a different online fundraising company, you likely know exactly what this is. Some
of the excessive commission you are paying to other companies is for the salaries of
their highly aggressive salespeople. They make more commission when you make more money.
They'll tell campaign organizers that they need to raise a certain amount of money or
else they'll pay a higher rate of commission. They try to make the participants feel
guilty if they're not bringing in enough money.
Fund-Team.com: Our goal is - and
always has been - to help organizations easily fundraise and keep most of their money.
We don't have commissioned salespeople whose main concern is how much money they'll make
off their customers. We understand that every participant's situation is different. Not
everyone has family and friends who are willing to donate lots of money. While we want
every organization to exceed their goal, we wouldn't want participants feeling badly
about not being able to raise a certain amount of money.
Other Online Fundraisers: We've
heard how dismissive some of the big fundraising companies are to smaller organizations
who can only raise a modest amount of money. The salespeople act like they are a waste
of their time because they'll earn far less commission than a bigger organization.
Fund-Team.com: Every organization
should have equal access to fundraising and get the full attention of the support staff.
We treat everyone the same, no matter if they are a big-city band who raises over
$133,000 with their march-a-thon or a small-town orchestra who raises over $7000 (more
than $1000 over their goal!) to send their students to hear a professional orchestra in
another city - a first trip out of town for most of their students.
Other Online Fundraisers: We've
been told it can be a hassle for organizations to receive a check for their fundraising
total with other companies. Some groups were waiting over 6 months for ANY of their
money after their campaign ended, and the salespeople weren't responding to their calls.
Fund-Team.com: If you have your own
PayPal account, Fund-Team.com will route your donations directly to it. You therefore
receive your money immediately. If you don't have a PayPal account, we keep your
donations in a personal escrow account. At the end of the campaign, we immediately mail
you a check for 80% of the amount in escrow. We keep the remaining 20% in escrow for 60
days after the campaign ends in case there are any credit card chargebacks, and then we
mail you a check for the amount in your escrow after 60 days.
Other Online Fundraisers: We've
certainly heard this one a lot. Clients will call or email with questions or issues and
have to wait an unreasonable amount of time to hear back. And then when they do get a
response, it is an automated, completely impersonal communication that makes clients
feel like just a number.
Fund-Team.com: At Fund-Team.com,
fundraising is incredibly important to us. Our own kids are passionate about their
activities, and fundraising is essential. We think about all the other participants in
Fund-Team.com campaigns, and even though we don't necessarily know them personally, we
know they're just trying to make things a little easier for their team with additional
funds. We work behind the scenes to try to help each organization reach and exceed their
goal. Sometimes it's the little things like responding quickly to a grandmother who
would rather send a check or helping a donor who mistakenly donated the wrong amount and
needs it corrected. We're here for everyone - campaign organizers, participants and
donors - every step of the way.
