Best Online Fundraising Platform for School Sports Teams
Fund-Team.com is one of the best online fundraising platforms for school sports teams — only 5% commission, no setup fees, nothing to sell. Players invite family and friends to donate. The average team raises over $300 per player. Setup takes 10 minutes.
Success Story: VHS Girls Soccer
VHS Girls Soccer raised $16,602 (net $14,430 to the team) in a single Fund-Team.com campaign — with the whole team participating and donors giving from across the country.
Why Sports Teams Love Fund-Team.com
Traditional fundraisers ask athletes to sell products that family and friends often don't want. Fund-Team.com flips that model — supporters donate directly to the player they care about. Donations arrive securely online, reminders are sent automatically, and the team keeps $0.92 to $0.95 of every $1 donated.
