High school sports teams can use new, lucrative fundraising ideas, and Fund-Team.com should fit in with any of them as a no-risk, little-effort, high-reward platform for virtual donation drives. We are entirely web-based, requiring no app downloads, and the simple process lets any school, team, or club raise money easily and without the typical risks involved with fundraising.
SPORTS AND FUNDRAISING
The high school experience includes a range of sports involvement. Sports participation allows students to develop character, health, musculoskeletal strength, confidence, friendship, and more. The experience comes with costs that school budgets rarely completely cover. Teams are left with fundraising needs to pay for the uniforms, equipment, transportation, and other expenses that naturally occur with playing the game.
As the world has transitioned so many activities online, fundraising has followed suit. Fund-Team.com is an online platform for raising money. Choose us for a no-upfront cost, zero-minimum, low-commission experience, and keep more of your donations.
When preparing a plan for various fundraising activities, follow a few simple strategies:
- Plan before fundraising season begins
- Set a goal and a timeline for reaching it before finalizing fundraising plans
- Keep track of progress toward the goal and post it so the team remains aware
- Include a range of fundraisers in your plans - events, sales, services, etc.
THE BENEFITS OF INCORPORATING FUND-TEAM.COM
Today, no fundraising plan would be complete without a virtual option, and Fund-Team.com is the ideal platform. We operate through a straightforward system where participants input the email addresses and cell phone numbers of family members and friends into our platform. We verify email addresses and send personalized requests with the individual's name and photograph to prevent automatic deletions from the recipient's inbox.
We strongly urge participants to make clear how important it is that team members refrain from making up email addresses or entering information about people not known to them personally. These rules are critical to protecting our reputation, and violations will result in the rule breaker being banned from the platform.
In addition to sending automatic emails and text messages, we will provide each team member with a link to share on social media. The campaign organizer will also receive a link to share on the team's socials.
When supporters decide to give, they can do so via credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal accounts. We take a 5% commission, processing payments requires another 3%, and the team keeps about 92% of the total donated. We’ll send over 80% of the sum immediately upon the fundraiser’s end, and the other 20% will be delivered in 60 days when all payments clear.
Team members should say thanks, and we prompt that reaction when email donations are made.
