Playing high school sports is an integral part of an athlete's life. The best fundraisers make raising money for the expenses faced by high school sports teams easier; Fund-Team.com is one such fundraising option.

We provide a streamlined and safe method for teams to raise cash to promote their activities.

High School Sports and Fundraising

High school sports teams face various expenses, usually totaling far more than the budget provided by the school to the individual teams. From travel to uniforms, training equipment, balls, bats, venue upkeep, incidentals, and more, high school sports teams' expenses often require fundraising to make up the difference between the cost and the budget provided.

Potential Fundraising Efforts

Collect Loose Change

Penny jars distributed throughout the community's convenience stores, food trucks, and other cash-friendly enterprises are a traditional fundraising method. Carrying cash and change can be a hindrance, so customers are more likely to drop their change in the jar when they get it. This option is an easy way to raise funds, especially if team members have family members who operate such a business.

Host a Fundraising Competition

Sports teams compete. That's what they do. Holding a fundraising competition with other teams within the league can be a lucrative way to raise money for the teams involved, grow a sense of cohesion within the team, and extend outreach to the greater community. An event like this can include concession sales, a raffle, donation requests, and other fundraising efforts.

Sell Fundraising Merchandise

Some fundraisers become expected and even anticipated throughout the community. Whether from a catalog or a box of chocolate bars, merchandise sold as a fundraiser can be an effective way to raise funds for sports teams. However, many teams are moving away from this style of fundraiser because of the low percentage of funds received versus sales as well as issues with students handling cash.

Offer Plate Sales for Spaghetti, Fried Fish, Hamburgers 

Put the team and its boosters to work with this fundraising opportunity. A community grocery store will generally sell goods at wholesale costs when non-profit organizations are planning a fundraiser. Choose a dish that compliments the season, search for the best price on ingredients, sell tickets in advance, and plan to make extra for walk-up purchases. This event can be a more extensive activity that makes inroads for community connections for the team.

Operate a Virtual Donation Drive
