When the time came to volunteer for the school fundraiser, did you raise your hand, make eye contact with the chairperson, or otherwise get roped into volunteering? If you’re like most parents, you have more good intentions than time, but you don’t need much time to achieve success with Fund-Team.com. Read on for helpful tips on setting up a school fundraiser and why Fund-Team.com is the best choice.

School budgets aren’t limitless, but student needs often seem to be. Fundraisers bridge the gap, allowing students to enjoy programs that budget limitations might otherwise prevent.

PLAN FOR SUCCESS

  • Identify Fundraising Goals – the why of your fundraiser
  • Create a Fundraiser Committee – clearly defined roles for participants
  • Choose a Fundraiser or Package of Fundraisers
    • Sell products or services – such as bake sales and car washes
    • Hold a fundraising event – school fairs, raffles, art exhibits
    • Garner sponsorships from local businesses or organizations
    • Leverage virtual fundraising – crowd-funding, donation drives
  • Consider the Details 
    • Venue and schedule - where and when
    • Budget - costs and potential profit
    • Required approvals
    • Materials needed 
    • Volunteer workers and assigned roles
  • Market the fundraiser via social media, flyers, newsletters, emails, and word of mouth. Greater participation leads to greater profits.
  • Encourage Participants – engagement has a directly proportional relationship to fundraiser success.
  • Track Fundraiser Status – maintain a real-time awareness of how much has been raised and how much more needs to come in.
  • Express Gratitude and Provide Updates – thank-you messages with updates on fundraising progress encourage greater participation; leverage social media and the fear of missing out (FOMO)!
  • Assess the fundraiser’s performance and plan for the next round of fundraising.

Fund-Team.com was created in response to the high fees of other fundraising companies. The founder of Fund-Team.com saw firsthand how much other online donation platforms charged and recognized that their fees were unreasonably high for the services provided. He took action, creating a platform for his daughters’ dance team’s use, and Fund-Team.com was born. As users experienced success, the platform became more widely used and is now one of the most popular options in the industry.
