Dance teams provide students with more than a fun way to check off the gym requirement at school. Participating in dance allows students to develop self-confidence, remain healthy, master body movement, form bonds with peers, and learn about themselves. However, these programs can be expensive, so dance teams are always looking for interesting fundraising ideas. Fund-Team.com offers a fully web-based platform for donation campaigns.
Fundraising Ideas to Get the Dance Team Moving
Fundraising Sales - Fruit, candy bars, popcorn, cutlery, and other commonly sold fundraising merchandise can become an expectation in the community over the years. Unfortunately, these sales require a great deal of time for a small margin of the profits, and many supporters would prefer to simply make a donation.
Fundraising Service - Car washes, yard work, bake sales, and other services the team can provide in return for compensation are great ideas for fundraising. These events can also offer an incredible opportunity for the team to work together and come together even more cohesively.
Fundraising “Thons” - Marathons, walk-a-thons, exercise-a-thons, and dance-a-thons, sponsored by supporters, allow teams to raise money while garnering community support and performing team-related activities.
Fundraising Events - Dance team recitals or competitions are excellent ways to showcase the team's skills while raising funds. In addition to ticket sales, the team can sell concessions and merch during the event!
Fundraising Workshops or Day Camps - This fundraising idea allows participants to serve the community while practicing their craft and raising money, by teaching others during a workshop or dance day camp during the summer or on weekends.
Fundraising Virtually through a Donation Campaign - Perhaps the most effortless fundraising venture available, an online donation campaign allows family members and friends to support the team easily. Of the many platforms available, Fund-Team.com charges a mere 5% as opposed to the 20% and more that other platforms take.
About Fundraising with Fund-Team.com
Fund-Team.com is a small business founded to respond to the greed of other virtual fundraising platforms. We charge a 5% commission, credit card processing fees are about 3%, and our students achieve a national average of $300 per student per campaign.
To raise funds with Fund-Team.com, the campaign organizer will first sign up the team, set a date for the sign-up meeting, and distribute a form for dance team members to collect the email addresses of family members and friends.
Fund-Team.com will then send personalized messages to each potential donor. The emails will include the student’s name and a headshot to reassure the recipient of the validity of the request. We will also provide students with a unique link to share via text or social media and a team link for the campaign organizer to share on the team's social media feeds.
Donors can contribute using debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. Teams keep 92% of the donations made, and we will make 80% of the funds available immediately and hold the rest for 60 days until all payments have cleared.
Each time a donation comes in, the student whose name is connected to the link will receive a notification and a prompt to send a message of thanks as quickly as possible.
