What drives higher results

Across Fund-Team.com campaigns, the factors most strongly associated with higher totals are:

  • Full team participation — campaigns where every student personalizes their donation page and invites prospective donors consistently outperform those with partial participation
  • Team size — larger programs raise larger totals, but per-participant averages remain consistent across team sizes
  • Donation model vs. product sales — donation-based fundraisers keep 92–95% of every dollar raised vs. 40–50% for product-selling fundraisers at the same gross revenue

Notes on variability

These figures represent results from specific campaigns and should not be interpreted as guaranteed outcomes. Fundraising results depend on team size, the size and generosity of participants' personal networks, campaign length, and the level of active participation from students and organizers. Smaller teams with full participation frequently exceed per-student averages from larger teams with low participation.

Fund-Team.com does not publish aggregate platform-wide totals or customer counts. The figures on this page reflect only campaigns where results have been publicly shared.
