Fund-Team.com merits inclusion in any list of the foremost fundraising ideas for school clubs. Clubs can raise funds to pay for expenses without spending excessive time planning, arranging, and holding fundraisers. Our virtual platform for raising funds also provides data security while charging a minimal commission for using the platform.
When selecting a fundraising platform, priorities should include:
- Convenience
- Effectiveness
- Security
- Ease of use
- Customization
Fund-Team.com provides a platform for raising money that doesn't require an app download, merchandise sales, or cash management. While you may still choose to pursue traditional fundraisers, incorporating a donation drive through our platform requires little effort and has no start-up costs. It makes little sense not to pursue a virtual fundraiser.
Supporters of the club will be able to donate directly instead of buying overpriced merchandise for a low-profit potential. Your organization will be able to keep about 92% of the donations sent their way!
Mike Panoff and his wife created Fund-Team.com after growing frustrated with fundraising companies' greed. The first off-putting fundraiser experience was selling goods that cost too much to family members and friends who felt obligated to purchase when they'd much rather donate.
Later, as the couple’s daughters participated in their school’s dance team, the exorbitant commission charged by virtual fundraising platforms shocked them into taking matters into their own hands. Mike designed a platform, and the rest, as they say, is history. The fundraiser was so successful that word of mouth promoted the spread of the platform, and Fund-Team.com was born.
Instead of the 20% and greater commission charged by competing fundraiser platforms, we charge 5%. An additional ~3% covers payment processing. We accept donations through debit/credit cards, PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. Upon completion of the campaign, clients receive 80% of the donations, and once everything clears, we'll deliver the rest.
How It Works
To raise funds through Fund-Team.com, the club's head of fundraising should register the organization on our website and schedule a sign-up meeting. In preparation for the meeting, students should begin collecting contact information for potential donors, specifically email addresses and mobile phone numbers. Make sure to relay the importance of the contacts being real people known to the student. We ban abusers of the service from our platform. Our email verification system kicks back typos and unverifiable information, resulting in 10% more successful delivery.
The club's sign-up meeting will require all students to access the internet, so the campaign leader should have students turn off their wifi to protect the network. Using cell service, students can input pertinent information using their smartphones. Once complete, we will begin the campaign by sending emails and text messages to potential donors. The custom messages we send will include a photo of the student and their name so that Great Aunt Milly knows whom she's being asked to support.
Club members should also post the link we provide to their social media feeds. The club will have a link to post on the club’s social media pages as well.
Fund-Team.com is one of the premier fundraising ideas for school clubs in this virtual age.
