When high school sports team boosters have brainstorming sessions for fundraising ideas, virtual fundraisers now top their lists for potential campaigns. Fund-Team.com would like to put ourselves forward for consideration with a user-friendly, effective platform with a very low commission. 

Register for a virtual fundraising campaign with Fund-Team.com to cover team costs that a small school budget can’t. Equipment, uniforms, participation fees, transportation costs, team meals, banquets, awards, and other key essentials of participating in sporting games require funds. This type of support is the basis for booster clubs and mandated fundraising by team members.

As more of our lives have gone digital, so have fundraising options. When the pandemic happened, virtual donations became even more prevalent. Fund-Team.com is fully web-based; there’s no app to download, cash to handle, or products to sell.

All your students will need are the email addresses of their family members and friends and a connected device.

Fundraising virtually is more efficient, convenient, and safer for students, so boosters prefer it. If your team has an annual fundraiser that tradition demands you keep, do so, but integrate Fund-Team.com into your overall fundraising plans.

Using the Web for Sports Team Fundraising

The Internet offers a wide range of ways to raise funds for your school’s sports teams.

  • Monetize School Spirit - Set up an online store on the team’s website with all the merch students want to wear to express their support during and after the season. Sell T-shirts, hoodies, caps, bags, socks, lanyards, and more!
  • Launch a Virtual Exercise-a-thon - Athletes work out regularly, so allow these workouts to do double duty through a virtual exercise-a-thon. Team members can pledge to meet specific fitness commitments and request donations based upon completion.
  • Raffle Off a Worthy Prize - Sell virtual tickets through social media for a large prize; choose a designated day to pick the winner; announce it through social media; deliver the award; and send the profits to the team’s account.
  • Set Up a Virtual Donation Drive - Request direct donations instead of asking relatives and friends to buy products they don’t want for a tiny percentage of the profits. Fund-Team.com’s system lets team members input email addresses to automatically deliver personalized support requests. We also provide links for each student to post on social media and for a general post on the team’s social media pages.

Choose Fund-Team.com

Fund-Team.com may be one of many virtual fundraising providers, but we stand out for many reasons. We charge 5% of the donations as our commission rather than the 20% and more charged by others. Despite the ~3% processing charge (by Stripe, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay), teams still get to keep around 92% of their funds. 

We also deliver the money far faster than other fundraising platforms. Students using Fund-Team.com average $300 per campaign.

When you sign up for a campaign with Fund-Team.com, ensure that the students understand how vital it is to enter only valid email addresses of family members and friends. Entering fake emails or those of strangers could result in banishment from the platform.

Students should also remember to send a thank you note, and we’ll prompt them to do so when donors give.
