Raising money for school teams is a routine part of participation, and, as with many things, the online world has changed how sports teams pursue fundraising. Fund-Team.com is an online platform that simplifies the process of holding a virtual donation campaign.
The Costs of Playing
Sports teams face challenges related to time, dedication, and finances. While a good coach, motivated players, and appropriate planning help overcome the first two, fundraising is the only reasonable solution to the third. The allocated budget is not enough for most school sports teams.
Covering the costs of equipment, uniforms, league fees, transportation, and other expenses can be impossible without practical fundraising efforts. Fund-Team.com is a profitable, collaborative, and nearly passive option that complements other fundraising plans.
Online fundraisers are becoming increasingly popular. They allow clubs and teams to raise the money they need without the hassles that go with traditional fundraisers - no keeping track of cash or checks, no door-to-door or parking lot sales, no ticket sales or events to organize. Fund-Team.com operates through a fully web-based platform with no app to download. We help teams make donation requests to potential supporters and accept them, keeping around 92% of the donations received. Our commission is a mere 5%; most companies take a minimum of 20% for reference.
How Fund-Team.com Operates
Setting up an online fundraiser with Fund-Team.com is simple. First, the team manager registers for a donation drive. This step is entirely free, and we have a zero minimum requirement for the campaign.
Next, team members will collect email addresses and cell phone numbers from family members and friends who will likely support their efforts. These people must be known to the participant—not a celebrity or fake contact. At a special team meeting, participants will receive instructions on entering their information into our system using their smartphones. At this time, each participant will also receive a unique link to share on social media, and the team’s campaign manager will also get a link to share.
Sports teams that use Fund-Team.com will lose only ten minutes of their time—even if they raise $0. However, the typical campaign nationally sees success rates of $300 raised by each student per donation drive. Our commission is very low at 5%.
Fundraisers that pair well with Fund-Team.com include merchandise sales, food and candy sales, car washes, bake sales, exhibition games, and other fundraising efforts. We also make it possible for distant relatives to offer support easily. Plus, supporters who prefer to give a simple donation rather than purchase something find our service convenient.
Fund-Team.com accepts donations through debit/credit cards through Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. These companies charge about 3% for processing.
Harness the power of social media and virtual communication for maximum fundraising success by choosing Fund-Team.com for online school team fundraising. We simplify fundraising by requesting donations through automated, personalized email and text requests and social media posts.
