The best school fundraising ideas are those that bring in funds for the targeted purpose while requiring as little effort as possible! Fund-Team.com offers a virtual solution that allows teams and clubs to request donations from the community without handling cash or making requests in person. 

Fund-Team.com is entirely web-based; no team member will have to download an app of any kind.

Why Groups Fundraise

From the football team to the band, dance team, and even mathletes, clubs and teams in a high school setting must fundraise to participate fully in the activity that defines the organization's purpose. School districts' budgets for these groups are minimal, and they are barely able to cover the stipend for the teacher-sponsor. 

Fundraising fills in the gap between the expenses associated with participation and the budget. Unfortunately, traditional fundraisers usually involve equal parts of hassle and annoyance. Whether selling overpriced, unwanted merchandise to obligated relatives or walking door-to-door selling candy bars, the fundraisers that you're probably all too familiar with are frustrating at best. Allow Fund-Team.com to provide a platform that removes all the aggravation and keeps participants digitally safe and secure.

Online fundraisers like the one implemented using Fund-Team.com can be very effective. The national average for a campaign on our platform is $300/student. Knowing how to leverage your campaign best will provide you with optimal results.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Virtual Donation Drive

Make the Purpose Known

The funds raised by a group should have a specific purpose. Whether your team needs new uniforms, to pay for competition fees or transportation costs, or has other expenses to cover, relaying those plans to potential donors will increase the positive responses your fundraiser receives.

Express Urgency

Most people respond faster when they know that the clock is ticking. When you relate deadlines that your team or club faces, your potential donors will be more likely to respond immediately rather than assuming they can do so later and then forget all about it. Dates of important competitions, registration deadlines, and the cut-off point for the year's budget, when included in your request or follow-up messages, can inspire your family members and friends to give promptly and generously. 

Leverage Customization

Adding personal touches to automatic donation requests also increase the likelihood of response and users’ sense of security with the platform. Fund-Team.com will incorporate student headshots and names into the requests to help family members and friends connect the request to the student.

Incorporate Convenience into Donation Processes

We’re all more likely to follow through on impulses to do good things when it’s easy! Fund-Team.com allows donors to give with debit/credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
