Are you searching for fundraising ideas for scouts besides the tried-and-true popcorn and cookie sales? Look to Fund-Team.com for a virtual donation platform where you can implement a campaign within minutes, requiring just internet connectivity and contact information for your scouts’ family members and friends.
Scouts do a lot of good for the community, and the experience is a source of personal and social growth for the participants. However, the experience isn't always affordable. Troop leaders have to come up with funds to pay for the supplies, transportation, and fees needed to make the scouting experience everything it should be. As you consider the ideas we'd like to present, plan to include our platform, Fund-Team.com, as a convenient and lucrative addition to any fundraiser package.
Auction Chores
Service is part of being a scout. Learning to serve others is integral to any scouting program, and auctioning chores allows the troop to fundraise without any expense on the front end while teaching participants valuable qualities and skills. The chores available vary, and the auction can be held in person or online.
Host a Carnival
Give the troop a taste of old-fashioned fun with a carnival event. For a successful event, include a dunk tank, ring toss, and other fun games with kitschy prizes and tasty food. Make sure to promote the event well throughout the community!
Host a Haunted House
More popular than ever, a quality haunted house can be an incredibly lucrative fundraising opportunity. Allow the troop to pair with others and brainstorm the spookiest decorations, features, sounds, and other sensory frights they can imagine. Once the feature's frightfulness becomes well-known, prepare for lines throughout the spooky season.
Online Donations
Requesting donations online eliminates the hassle of traditional fundraisers. Friends and family members aren't compelled to purchase overpriced items they'd rather not buy, and participants don't have to travel door-to-door or keep up with cash and checks.
Sign up with Fund-Team.com and have your troop enter potential donors' email addresses and mobile numbers. Our system will automatically send a request that includes the participant's name and headshot to eliminate any concerns over scams.
We also help you leverage the power of Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat with a unique link for each participant to share on social media. The troop will get its own link to share on its general social pages. Donors give online using debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, or Google Pay.
Keep more of the money donated with Fund-Team.com—about 92%. Our commission is a very low 5%, and payment processing requires another 3%. We charge nothing for setup and have no minimum, so you risk nothing.
The average Fund-Team.com donation campaign garners $300/student, so whether you choose us as a stand-alone fundraising endeavor or include our service as part of a larger package, we can help you reach your troop’s goals. Make the camping trips, conventions, demonstrations, and other fun activities happen with the funding needed to make scouting an experience anticipated and remembered!
