# Fund-Team.com

> Fund-Team.com is an online fundraising platform for school teams, booster clubs, bands, cheer squads, dance teams, drill teams, and student organizations across the United States. It charges only 5% commission with no setup fees, no hidden fees, and no minimums. The national average raised is over $300 per student.

## What Fund-Team.com Does

Fund-Team.com replaces traditional product-selling fundraisers with an online donation-based platform. A team organizer creates a fundraiser page in about 10 minutes. Each student personalizes their own version of the page. Students then invite friends and family to donate via email, text message, or a shareable social media link. Donors pay securely by credit card or mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay). Automated email and text reminders are sent to donors throughout the campaign.
