Bring Fund-Team.com into a collection of fundraising ideas for your basketball team as an easy and safe way to elevate your fundraising package. We provide a platform for hosting a virtual donation drive that requires no downloads, registration fees, or minimum donations.
Why Fundraise?
Participating in basketball should be open to all who want to join. Registration fees shouldn't be so high that joining a team is impossible. That's where fundraising efforts come in. The team needs money for uniforms, equipment, transportation and other needs, so raising money is as important for the team as practice.
Fund-Team.com is an excellent fundraising platform that can be used as a single resource or as part of a larger package. Our platform allows teams like yours to retain more of the donated funds with greater ease and safety. This fundraising plan doesn't require team members to make sales, handle cash, or provide services.

- 100% web-based, no download needed
- No set-up fee or minimum donations for the campaign
- No cash to handle
- No sales
- Automatic emails and reminders
- Easy set-up

Succeed with Your Fundraising Efforts
Keep It Purpose-Driven
A purpose-driven fundraiser will be far more effective than one that’s held simply for the sake of fulfilling a schedule. When team members understand why they need to raise money, and when potential supporters grasp the goal of the fundraiser, everyone works harder and digs deeper for greater success.
Keep a Timetable
A goal without a schedule is nothing but a dream. The team's supporters must know that funds are essential for upcoming purchases. From training to competition participation, new uniforms, or gym upkeep, the dates need to accompany the purpose.
Keep the Request Personal
Donation requests need to have a personal feel. Consider this question: Do supporters value basketball, or do they value the basketball players? Fund-Team.com includes the associated player’s headshot and name in the request, incentivizing the recipient to give and reassuring them that the request isn’t an attempt to scam.
When students sign up for the fundraiser, they'll be asked to submit addresses for email and cell numbers for text communications. This information must be accurate and valid, and the student should know the contacts. Abuse of the system can lead to team members being banned from Fund-Team.com.
Keep It Connected
In addition to requests sent via email and text, Fund-Team.com will supply links for each student to share via social media and one for the team's newsfeed. In a world where social media drives the day's discourse, failing to leverage it means failing to maximize fundraising efforts. Consider our track record. The average campaign raises $300/student.
Keep It Easy
Making it easy to donate will increase the likelihood that requests will be answered with a donation. That’s why Fund-Team.com welcomes payments from debit/credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay for a 3% processing fee.
Keep It Gracious
Want repeat donations? Be gracious.
We all like to be recognized for what we do for others. Team members need to send messages of thanks when donations come in.
