Sports teams offer middle and high school students an incredible opportunity for growth. Encouraging kids to participate keeps them healthy, helps them develop socially, and encourages skills to promote success. For sports teams to function, fundraisers play a role, and finding the best ones for generating funds safely and conveniently is important. Consider Fund-Team.com as you plan any combination of fundraisers for your student’s sports teams.
Generating Funds for Sports Teams
Leagues require dues, participation fees, uniforms to solidify team status, equipment for practice, and transportation logistics to reach competition venues. Fundraisers meet these expenses when budget shortfalls leave them uncovered.
Fund-Team.com is an excellent option as a stand-alone venture or as part of a greater fundraising package. The simplicity of our platform melds easily with an array of fundraising ideas - online and offline. With zero initial costs, no minimal requirement for a campaign, and a low 5% commission, Fund-Team.com users stand to lose nothing and gain plenty for their sports teams’ coffers.
Fundraiser Options
In addition to an online donation drive, sports teams find success when they plan a combination of fundraisers throughout the year. An event, for instance, may be free to attend (or charge for admission) and include concession sales, merchandise sales, a raffle, and other fundraisers in one. The event is obvious with sports teams: a game or tournament.
Sports teams can also host a day camp, fish fry, or other community event. Teams often find that grocery stores will be happy to donate items at wholesale prices, or restaurants may even donate their services or give significant discounts to a local team. A twist on this event is a charity night at a specific restaurant when all proceeds go to a particular team.
Popcorn, candy bars, fruit, and other merchandise are standard products for fundraisers, and the annual sales can become an anticipated event for area sports teams.
The Virtual Fundraising Donation Drive
The virtual platform that Fund-Team.com provides is ideal for teams who want to incorporate a convenient fundraising avenue into a larger package. Our website is secure and user-friendly. You won't need to download an app, nor will you need to pay anything initially to set up the campaign. We charge a 5% commission; compare that to the 20% other fundraiser hosts charge.
Setting up a campaign is simple and fast. Team members provide the cell phone numbers and email addresses of the family members and friends who would support the team's efforts. We send automatic requests via email (participants are prompted to send a text with one click), provide unique links for participants to share on their socials, and a single unique link to share on the team's social media feeds.
Supporters responding to your donation requests pay through debit, credit card, or Pay, Google Pay, or Apple Pay. Processing of the payment requires another ~3%. The fundraising entity retains about 92% of donations for the team, club, or school. We will deliver 80% of the money immediately, keeping the other 20% until the payments are cleared after 60 days.
