College is a time of defining oneself as a person as much as it is a time of gaining an education, and participation in academic and social clubs is part of this growth. Almost every college club has a purpose that requires fundraising to pay for transportation, community improvements, and other endeavors, and Fund-Team.com welcomes the opportunity to contribute a package of practical fundraising ideas.
Building Fellowship through Fundraising
Growing closer together as a group is a by-product of fundraising efforts. Working together for a shared goal is a powerful incentive to begin viewing one another as more than acquaintances or friends. Being part of a close-knit club that has worked to achieve something important can be a defining part of college life. When your club identifies a goal worth working toward, allow Fund-Team.com to help you achieve it.
Most of the goals that college clubs work toward will have a positive purpose, and making the purpose known while fundraising will affect both the success of the fundraising efforts and the participants' motivation. An online donation campaign with Fund-Team.com allows participants to make the purpose of the fundraiser clear through social media postings and appeals for support.
Community outreach may begin with an appeal for a donation, but a message of gratitude should follow every donation. Fund-Team.com assists with this process by providing notifications when donations come in. Social media recognition can also be an excellent tool to inspire others to give. Never underestimate the power of the bandwagon effect!
The Future of Fundraising
Fundraising in the virtual world operates on a new paradigm. Nothing stops clubs and teams from participating in traditional fundraisers like bake sales, car washes, and pledge drives, but virtual fundraisers can take your efforts to a new level.
Integrate Fund-Team.com into your club's plans for the best traditional and modern fundraising options. Our web-based platform allows participants to appeal to community members for donations. No sales, cash, door-knocking, or set-up fees make this fundraising program the ideal solution.
With Fund-Team.com, you'll pay a 5% commission, and about 3% of your donations will go toward processing fees charged by the various payment companies. Your club will, therefore, retain about 92% of the donations received. If you've looked into online fundraising, you know this retention level is astounding!
