Fund-Team.com deserves to be at the top of the list of fundraising ideas for school clubs and teams. We provide a fully web-based platform for requesting and accepting donations that requires no sales, handling of cash, or complicated interfaces.

Fundraise with Purpose

Extracurricular activities at schools rely on fundraising to pursue shared interests. Sports teams, bands, choirs, and academic clubs have expenses that fundraisers can meet. The costs for transportation, competition fees, meals, uniforms, and equipment add up. Having a common goal and working toward it is also an effective way to build greater cohesiveness within a team or club.

Fund-Team.com provides a virtual platform for hosting a donation drive that makes raising funds easier and safer than traditional fundraising measures.

Traditionally, fundraisers require students to sell overpriced and unwanted products, charge for car washes or plate dinners, raffle off prizes, or participate in other methods designed to raise funds. Online fundraising platforms work much differently. 

When schools sign up for a campaign through Fund-Team.com, students simply input the email addresses of relatives and friends and upload a picture of themselves. The program then automatically delivers donation requests featuring the student’s name and photo. It will notify students when a donation is made so that an appropriate thank you can be sent.

The platform also provides unique links for each student to post on social media and a generalized link for the team to post on its social media feeds.

We charge zero fees for setting up a campaign, impose no minimum requirement, and have a very low 5% commission compared to 20% and more with other platforms.

Payment methods we accept include all of the following:

  • Credit cards processed through Stripe
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay

These methods will take a ~3% commission from the donations. This commission, plus our 5% commission, leaves around 92% of donations for the team. We deliver 80% of those donations at the end of the fundraiser, followed by the remainder after a brief hold to address any issues that may arise. 

In addition to keeping less of your money for a shorter period of time, Fund-Team.com produces greater results. Our process of verifying emails results in 10% more valid emails in cases of spelling errors or typos. The students should remember to input the real email addresses of people they know. Making up email addresses or entering strangers' emails detracts from the campaign and could lead us to expel the student from the platform.

The Story Behind Fund-Team.com

Fund-Team.com came about as a response to the egregious fees and commissions taken by other fundraising platforms. The original form of Fund-Team.com was created for the dance team of the founder’s daughter. As local teams recognized how user-friendly and profitable the program was, more teams began to request it, and Fund-Team.com came to be.
