Lucrative fundraising ideas are essential to successful booster club operations. From football to marching band, dance, cheer, or mathletes, you join the booster club when you want to support a student's interests. In addition to chaperoning events, procuring snacks, and helping promote the club's activities, a booster club raises money to pay for regular and specially occurring expenses. Fund-Team.com provides an entirely web-based platform for hosting an online donation drive.
Ways for Your Booster Club to Boost Its Fundraising Efforts
Product Sales
Selling products from a catalog or a single item like candy bars is a standard option for fundraising and can become an anticipated event over the years. Since fundraising companies tend to take quite a bit of the profit from these sales, boosters must plan to sell large volumes of products to make the effort worthwhile.
Activity-Thons
Participation in activity-thons raises the awareness level of the booster club and the team it sponsors while raising money to fund the club's needs. Try to parallel the activity pursued by the club that you sponsor. For instance, math boosters may collect pledges for the number of problems answered correctly on an assessment; football boosters may participate in exercise-a-thons or walk-a-thons, etc.
Service Provision
Boosters give of their time, and this gift of service can extend to fundraisers. This fundraiser can also help the team or club extend branches throughout the community. Washing cars and performing chores for supporters unite the team, working together for a common cause while making funds to pursue its goals.
Fundraising Events
Boosters often pull together the big pieces of any fundraising event while they rely on members to get the details together. Concerts, competitions, performances, and exhibitions can be excellent options for fundraising while also providing an avenue for raising awareness of the club’s importance.
Online Donation Campaign
Raising funds with an online donation drive cuts out the products and services that are typically unwanted but are chosen to support the organization in question. Fund-Team.com is a unique online platform that is wholly website-based and a streamlined method for raising funds.
Unlike other virtual donation companies that charge upwards of 20% of the donations earned, we at Fund-Team.com charge a small 5% commission. Payment processing requires another 3%, on average, so our clients retain around 92% of the donations that their supporters provide. We accept Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, and debit/credit cards.
It costs nothing to establish a campaign, and we have no minimum for the group to raise. On average, our clients raise $300 per student for each campaign nationally.
Setting up a campaign with Fund-Team.com is simple. The campaign organizer will sign up the organization and schedule a sign-up meeting with the organization’s participants. In anticipation of the meeting, boosters should gather potential supporters' email addresses and mobile phone numbers.
During the meeting, boosters will enter this contact information, and Fund-Team.com will send automatic, personalized emails or text messages to would-be donors. Participants will also receive a unique link to share on their personal social sites, and we’ll provide one to share on the booster club’s social media feeds.
