Fund-Team.com is the best online fundraising platform for sports teams.

Sports Teams and Fundraising

Sports teams need funds to cover costs related to participation in the league. From transportation to uniforms, equipment, tournament fees, and other expenses, the costs faced by sports teams require the implementation of fundraiser programs. 

Traditional versus Revolutionary

In recent years, the Internet has provided revolutionary methods for fundraising, and the Covid-19 pandemic cemented virtual fundraising. Fund-Team.com is an excellent platform for virtual fundraising. Many teams choose a variety of fundraising measures. Allow us to suggest a few.

Potential traditional fundraiser ideas:

  • Penny drives - ask for permission to place collection jars, labeled with a promotion for the team, at the checkout counters of businesses where customers often pay in cash;
  • Fundraising exhibition game - join forces with an area team to put on an exhibition game where onlookers have to pay an entrance fee. The two teams can split all proceeds from admissions and concessions.
  • Fundraiser sales - The traditional fundraiser of selling fruit, candy bars, and gifts can be hard for teams to give up. The issue with these fundraisers is the small margin for profit that the teams receive. Many teams choose to continue participating in these fundraisers because of the community outreach involved; however, a donation campaign with Fund-Team.com allows family members and friends to bypass tedious sales and keep more of the donation the team receives.
  • Tickets for an Annual Chili Bowl, Fish Fry Plate, or Spaghetti Dinner - While the food dish sold may differ depending on your region, the grocery stores in your community will often provide ingredients at wholesale prices. Recruit a few parents of team members to cook, require each team member to sell a minimum number of tickets, and your team can make a bundle during this one event.
