Being part of the high school dance team can be a defining point of adolescence. Lasting friendships, growing self-confidence, and developing bodily awareness and health are all benefits of being part of the team. With dance team membership comes necessary fundraising, and a donation campaign through Fund-Team.com should top the list of potential ideas.

Fundraising Ideas for Dance Teams

  • Car washes - This classic fundraiser plan will raise money for the dance team, grow a sense of camaraderie within the team, and gain exposure for the dance team.
  • Bake sales - Baked treats are always a hit, whether you host the sale during a school day or during another event.
  • Dance recitals - From selling tickets to the event to concession sales, a raffle draw during the event, and simply honing the skills of a team, the benefits of hosting a dance recital abound.
  • Dance-a-thons - Marathons, walk-a-thons, and math-a-thons are popular fundraisers, so a dance-a-thon, by extension, is a terrific idea for a dance team's fundraiser purposes.
  • Dance team merch - From a favorite sports team to a trending influencer or music artist, teens typically wear their interests in the form of merch. From hoodies to socks, merch can be a great way of gaining exposure for the team and raising funds for the team's activities.
  • Dance camp - Summer and weekend camp activities are excellent fundraising opportunities and a way to share with the community and gain exposure for the team.
  • Virtual fundraising - Raising funds online is safer, easier, and more effective in many cases. Fund-Team.com offers a 100% web-based platform for a donation campaign. 

Dance Teams and Fundraising

Dance teams put on performances and participate in competitions that have expenses. From transportation to these events to participation fees, dance costumes, choreography, music, props, and incidentals, the costs associated with dance team participation can accumulate quickly. 

Fundraise Through Fund-Team.com

Virtual fundraising allows teams and clubs to raise funds from a distance - no door-to-door sales, handling cash, or raffle sales required. Students remain safer, donors appreciate more funds going to the students they want to support, and team leaders appreciate the ease of organizing and implementing a fundraising campaign. 

Fund-Team.com provides a streamlined platform and charges a minimal commission for our services. Many competing platforms charge 20% or more, while we charge just 5% of the total donations. When the ~3% credit card processing fee is deducted, teams are left with about 92% of the money donated to the organization.

Gratitude is essential for the success of current and future fundraisers. Students receive a message when donations are made in response to their links, and they're encouraged to send an immediate message of gratitude. Doing so will set the stage for future fundraisers.
