Ideas for Fundraising Plans for the Upcoming Season
Throw a Food Fight
If you've wondered what a full-on food fight would be like, you're not alone. Consider hosting one in the school cafeteria and charging a participation fee. Make sure to put down plastic for a somewhat easier cleanup and source the food from a grocery store with items near expiration dates; they'll likely donate them. Enjoy getting messy and raising funds for the upcoming season!
Sell School Supplies
Students need supplies, and many teachers give demerits for not having appropriate materials. Help your peers raise money for the team by setting up a school store with paper, pencils, pens, jump drives, etc. Level up your products by offering plain and team-branded merch for a higher price point. You'll make more and raise the team's standing and school spirit.
Sell and Deliver Holiday Greetings
Flowers or chocolates for Valentine's Day, poinsettias or nice greeting cards for Christmas, and even birthday song greetings can be fundraising fodder for the team. Who wouldn't pay to have the team serenade their BFF on their birthday? Holidays are important to teens; the more recognition received, the better. Leverage this occurrence for fundraising purposes.
Host a Virtual Donation Drive
Fund-Team.com is a leading virtual donation drive platform. Our system is straightforward and safe, and we charge a 5% commission instead of the typical 20%. Payment processing usually takes an estimated 3%, so our users keep 92% of the funds sent their way! On average, a Fund-Team.com fundraiser rakes in $300 per student per campaign nationally.
Set Up a Campaign - The first step to begin raising money with Fund-Team.com is to sign up for the campaign. The coach, head booster, or other campaign organizer will sign up on our website, schedule a sign-up meeting with their students, and send out a form for the team to get together potential donors' email addresses and phone numbers. They should limit this info to family members, friends, and other community members they know - no strangers or made-up info, please.
After the sign-up meeting, which will take about ten minutes, we will send automatic messages to the people who were entered. Recipients will get a personalized email or text with the student's name and pic. Team members will also get a link to share on their Instagram, Snap, and other socials to maximize results.
The team organizer will also get a link to share on the team's feeds.
For donations, we accept debit/credit cards processed through Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. Delivery of the funds happens immediately upon receipt for 80% of the money, and we hold another 20% for 60 days to ensure payments clear.
