Sports teams look for interesting and successful fundraising ideas every year, and Fund-Team.com promises ease of use, zero up-front expenses, and a high percentage of returns. Our platform is 100% website-based, and each campaign sees a national average of $300 in donations per student. Plus, we charge a minimal 5% fee, compared to 20% or more required by other donation fundraising programs.
Food Truck or Restaurant Day Fundraisers
A food truck fundraiser will involve inviting the area's food trucks to set up on school property for the day while the athletic department keeps a portion of the profits made during that period. A restaurant fundraiser will work the same way, except a restaurant will designate one night to donate its profits to a program. The measure you choose will depend on the willingness of businesses to participate and local school policies. These fundraisers will be more successful with advance notices posted via signs, social media, and even notes sent home to parents.
Lemonade Stand, Bake Sale, Hamburger Sale
The tried-and-true fundraisers have been around so long for a reason: they work. Local grocery stores usually donate ingredients, parents and athletes will volunteer time, and the community loves to support the youth, especially when they see them working for the donations. Additional ideas would be to sell chili, spaghetti, fish, or chicken tender plates. Choose the food based on the season. For instance, chili is welcome in the fall when there's a chill in the air, fried fish is a springtime dish, and lemonade is a summertime treat!

How it works:
A fundraising campaign through Fund-Team.com is simple to create. The organizer will create the team’s campaign and then schedule a sign-up meeting for the team. Before the meeting's date, the team members should collect the email addresses and mobile phone numbers of potential supporters, including family members, friends, church family, etc.
Students will enter this information at the sign-up meeting. Each team member will be sent a link to do so, and they will get unique links to share on social media. The organizer will also receive a link to share on the team's social media feed. Progress is trackable—both that of the individual athlete and the team as a whole.
