If you’re looking for effective solutions for how to raise money for sports teams, consider hosting a donation campaign virtually through Fund-Team.com. Our platform can help cover the costs that budgets don’t cover without interfering with other planned fundraising activities.

Sports teams may have substantial fundraising needs, so every bit helps. Fund-Team.com offers a national success average of $300/student/campaign. With zero costs to initiate a campaign and no requirements for minimum collected, what does your team have to lose?

If you’d like to find some interesting items that you could sell and rake in even more funds for the team, consider any of the following items:

  • Flowers - Whether you choose seeds, bulbs, plants, or cut flowers, make sure to time the sale with the season! For instance, poinsettias can be sold during the holidays, spring bulbs can be sold during January/February, mums can be sold during September, and so on.
  • Gift wrapping service - Another holiday-focused fundraiser would be to offer gift-wrapping services for a fee. The holidays are enough of a struggle without the added burden of making gifts look pretty! If the team doesn’t have wrapping-inclined members, recruit a few parents.
  • Raffle tickets—Classic fundraisers exist for a reason: they're successful. Selling raffle tickets is an excellent way for a team to bring in revenue. Fifty-fifty raffles are especially ideal since they don't involve risk unless you aim too high in ticket sales. Keep it conservative, assign each team member a number of tickets to sell, and keep half the take!
  • Fish fry/Spaghetti dinner/Souper Bowl - Whatever the food, the community will clamor for the opportunity to buy affordable plates and support the area sports teams. Local supermarkets usually donate or sell the items you need at wholesale prices, and parents can help! Sell tickets, advertise the event, and consider combining a few other fundraiser opportunities with the occasion.
  • Bake Sale—Another classic fundraiser is the bake sale. Why not add the twist of a theme related to the sport in question to make it interesting? Decorate cookies like the ball of the sport, invent a treat and give it a related name, or dress in uniforms to attract attention to your table.
