The best fundraisers for schools generate funds safely and with limited efforts. Fund-Team.com deserves a place in the mix by providing a website-based hosting platform for a virtual donation drive. Combine several fundraising ideas, including experiences, sales, donations, and sponsorships, to maximize the funds needed for your school's advancement.
Bring the Community Together
A fundraiser that brings the school community together is always a winner, but it needs to be well thought out and planned, with support from administrators, staff, parents, and students. Bringing these groups together may be difficult, but the effort pays off in far more ways than the revenue brought in. Consider leveraging the power of social media, as you can with Fund-Team.com. Our platform allows students to contact family and friends worldwide, breaking down community barriers through communication.
Plan an Event
A fundraising event can incorporate a variety of fundraisers, appealing to many different supporters’ interests. Charge for admission and concessions, sell merch, hold a raffle, and even ask participants to post the school’s donation link from Fund-Team.com to their social media to extend the fundraising beyond direct participants.
Sell Services
Tried-and-true fundraisers that muster the efforts of students to raise money by washing cars, cleaning yards, washing dogs, or babysitting for a parents’ night out! As students discover the value of providing service and respecting others, they’ll raise money for their school.
Partnerships with Area Restaurants
From discount cards to charity nights, local restaurants are ideal for school fundraising efforts. Both benefit: restaurants earn an excellent name in the area and benefit from related sales, while schools earn the profits from the card sales or the meals sold during a set period designated for the fundraiser. Remember to advertise the event for the biggest payoff!
Hold a Donation Campaign via Fund-Team.com
Fund-Team.com allows schools, teams, and clubs to seek donations entirely online. Connected devices and a small time investment are all that's required. Supporters of your students can send donations to the school without buying anything, which is often how they prefer it. It costs nothing to set up a campaign, and we charge an extremely low 5% commission.
Beyond our commission, schools will pay an additional ~3% fee for payment processing, leaving ~92% of the donations to go directly to school improvements and student success. Your school has nothing to lose and plenty to gain. Consider that, on average, our students raise $300 each during a campaign.
An organizer must sign up for a campaign and schedule a meeting with their participants. In the meantime, students should take home contact sheets for parents to complete with potential supporters' email addresses and cell phone numbers. It's critical to enter only valid contacts of people known to the student, otherwise the student will be banned from the system.
In addition to sending donation requests and reminders, we also supply social media links for students to share on their pages and one for the school itself.
Fund-Team.com is definitively one of the best fundraisers for schools.
