Essential Elements of Raising Funds

Youth sports teams, clubs, academic organizations, choirs, and social clubs must raise funds to participate fully in the group's activities. Competitions, performances, and travel are just a few of the expenses that organizations face, and raising funds makes those pursuits possible while helping unify the group, involve the community, and even develop skills regarding the group's interests.

Fundraising companies have charged an exorbitant percentage of the funds raised for far too long. When students request donations from family members and friends or sell overpriced goods that supporters don't want but feel obligated to purchase, other virtual fundraising platforms charge up to a 20% commission compared to the 5% we charge.

By choosing Fund-Team.com, your organization will no longer need to sell goods or services. Students will be safer; they won’t be knocking on doors or handling cash. 

No matter the type of fundraiser you decide on, make sure to share with supporters how the money will serve. The dance team may need new choreography, the chess club may need timers, or the baseball team may need a pitching machine. Share this need with family members and friends when you make a donation request or sales pitch!

The timetable involved is also important information to include in your communications. Adding a deadline encourages donors to give in ways they might not if they didn't feel a sense of urgency. 

Personalization is another element to include in any communication. Emails sent out by the Fund-Team.com system will include a headshot of the student and the student's name in the "from" line. Text messages will come directly from the student’s phone.
