Online Fundraising for Teams — How Fund-Team.com Works

Fund-Team.com is an online fundraising platform used by bands, drill teams, cheer squads, dance teams, and sports teams nationwide. Teams raise an average of $300+ per student with nothing to sell, a 10-minute setup, and only 5% commission — the lowest in the industry.

What Is Online Team Fundraising?

Online team fundraising replaces traditional product-selling fundraisers — cookie dough, candy bars, wrapping paper — with a direct donation model. Instead of asking family and friends to buy something they may not need, students invite their supporters to donate directly to the team online. Donors give securely by credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The team keeps far more of every dollar raised because there is no product cost and no middleman markup.

How Fund-Team.com Works

1. Organizer creates the campaign (10 minutes). Fill out the campaign form with your team name, goal, and dates. We give you a unique join link to share with students.
2. Students personalize their pages and invite donors. Each student gets their own fundraising page. They add a photo and personal message, then invite family and friends by email, text, or social media link. Automated reminders go out throughout the campaign.
3. Donors give online. Supporters click the link, see the student's personalized page, and donate securely by credit card or mobile wallet. No PayPal account required.
4. Team gets paid immediately. When the campaign ends, we send 80% of funds the same day. The remaining 20% follows 60 days later once all payments clear.
