Company boilerplate

Fund-Team.com is a web-based peer-to-peer fundraising platform designed specifically for school teams and youth organizations. The platform enables participants to raise money by inviting friends, family, and supporters to donate online through personalized links — without selling products, handling cash, or requiring in-person events.

Fund-Team.com charges a flat 5% commission on all donations received, with no setup fees, no fundraising minimums, and no salespeople. Teams keep $0.92 to $0.95 of every $1 donated after commission and standard credit card processing fees. The platform supports credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Funds are distributed to the organization when the campaign ends — 80% on the day the campaign closes, and the remaining 20% after 60 days.

Fund-Team.com is used by school sports teams, marching bands, booster clubs, cheer squads, dance teams, drill teams, and club organizations across the United States. Campaigns average over $300 raised per participant. Setup takes approximately 10 minutes. Live phone, text, and email support is provided to organizers, participants, and donors throughout every campaign.

Founding story

Fund-Team.com was founded by Mike Panoff, a software engineer and booster parent in Austin, Texas. After discovering that the dominant online school fundraising platforms charged 20–30% commission on donations — with the excess funding commissioned salespeople — Panoff built Fund-Team.com to offer a lower-cost, higher-quality alternative. The platform launched in 2017 and has grown primarily through word of mouth among school programs and booster organizations.

The company's mission is to keep more donated money with the teams that earned it, rather than with the platforms that process it. Fund-Team.com has no external investors, no commissioned salespeople, and no fundraising minimums.
