In a world where an app exists for nearly every situation, fundraising apps are revolutionizing how school clubs and teams raise funds for their needs. Fund-Team.com is proud to provide a fully web-based, online fundraising platform that supports the efforts of teams and clubs to conduct online donation drives.
Fund-Team.com offers an efficient way to engage family members, friends, and community members to support the efforts of student activities. By operating a virtual fundraiser, students remain safer, the campaign is easier, and the organizations reap a higher percentage of the money raised.
The Birth of Fund-Team.Com
Founded and created by Mike Panoff, Fund-Team.com is a small business born of rebellion against the greed of big fundraising businesses. Even when using an online fundraising platform, most charge at least 30% commission on donations. As their children made their way through school, participating in fundraisers, Mike and his wife recognized that they were selling items few people wanted while a very small percentage went toward the organization.
Fund-Team.com offers an online donation platform without taking exorbitant fees. We charge a 5% commission, and you'll be charged a processing fee depending on your donation method (credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay). Teams can keep approximately 92% of the donations they're given.
How Fund-Team.Com Operates
A fundraising drive with Fund-Team.com for school clubs, like the band, sports teams, academic clubs, or civic organizations, will begin by signing up as a campaign organizer. The next step is to complete the form for your fundraising campaign. The app will then create the campaign for you and provide you with a sign-up link that you can forward to team members when you hold a team sign-up meeting.
When you schedule the sign-up meeting for your team, ensure each member has a printed blank donor list to add their potential donors’ email addresses, as well as the sign-up link, which you can send through email, text, etc. At the meeting, team members will click the sign-up link to join the campaign, upload a picture, and add family and friends' names and emails.
The team sign-up meeting will not take very long, about 20-30 minutes. Instruct the students about participation and have them sign up using their smartphones or another device. Two key points to remember for this meeting include:
- With all team members on the school's Wi-Fi, it might be pushed passed its limits, so if this issue arises,
make sure that the affected students turn off their Wi-Fi; - Team members should also use valid emails of friends and family. Using fake emails or those of people you're not acquainted with will hurt the campaign, not help. It could also lead us to ban the team member from using our platform.
Students will also receive a link to share via text or social media.
The campaign organizer will also have a general team link that is not tied to any specific person to share on the team's social media pages.
