Football, soccer, volleyball, cheer, and other sports teams can benefit greatly from successful online fundraising provided by Fund-Team.com. Extracurricular pursuits are important for kids of all ages, but they require funds to pay for equipment, apparel, and transportation. With our fully web-based platform, sports teams can safely and simply raise donations. 

Fundraising - Vital for Sports Teams

Playing in a sporting league requires funds to compete in the league, and each team needs funds to pay for the essentials of participation as well. From uniforms that designate team membership to the necessary equipment and transportation to and from events, the expenses involved with sport can be great, and fundraising with Fund-Team.com is the solution.

A Full Fundraising Package

Adding online fundraising to a healthy collection of offline fundraising ventures can add real value and greatly increase your team’s ability to raise money. Fund-Team.com provides an avenue for virtual fundraising that will fit easily within your other plans. 

Offline Fundraising Plans

  • Event Hosting - Athletes have skills to share. When teams host events that show off these skills, they can charge for entrance, concessions, merch, raffles, and contests associated with the occasion. An annual dance competition, football exhibition, or other event can be a huge fundraising opportunity.
  • Food-related events - Teams often hold regular fundraisers related to selling tickets for plates of food or for weekend hamburger and hot dog sales. Community grocery stores will frequently donate items or sell them at wholesale costs for these purposes. This type of event often becomes a yearly expectation, and the community will begin to anticipate the annual Football Fish Fry or Band Booster Spaghetti Dinner.
  • Fundraising Sales - Other highly anticipated fundraising events that teams frequently pursue are sales of fruit, mulch, popcorn, and other merchandise. These sales can become so popular that not participating one year can cause disgruntlement within the team’s community supporters.

Online Fundraising Plan

The online fundraising platform provided by Fund-Team.com allows teams to integrate an easy and safe system for requesting donations. The platform is entirely web-based, requires no download, and doesn’t cost anything for setting up a campaign. Furthermore, we charge a very small 5% commission when compared to other online fundraiser providers who take a minimum of 20%.

Donations go through Stripe processing of debit/credit cards or through Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. These processors will take another ~3% of the donation total, but the team will keep around 92% of the donations they receive. 

Fund-Team.com delivers the donations to the team faster as well. Delivery of 80% of the donations will occur right away, and we hold the other 20% for two months just in case an issue arises with a donation. 

The process is simple. Students enter valid email addresses of family members and friends, and our email verification system checks for any data entry mistakes. The system then sends personalized emails with a request for donations. We also provide unique links for students and a general one for the team in order to fully leverage the power of social media.
