If you coach, manage, or head the booster club of a school football team, you’re likely interested in profitable, convenient, and safe fundraisers. Fund-Team.com is a fully web-based platform for holding a donation drive. On its own or as part of a fundraising package, our service can help meet your team's needs to cover the costs of equipment, travel, competition, and practice.
Football fundraisers need not be limited to the football season. As any player or supporter knows, football is more than a sport for the players. It becomes a way of life, a passion. Some fundraisers are ideal for during the season, but others are better suited to the off-season. Fund-Team.com provides the type of fundraiser that works at any time of the year, although the response might peak during the height of the season when football is on the minds of the team's fanbase.
About Fundraiser Types
Pledge-Based Fundraisers
A pledge-based fundraiser is any plan that requires participants to request pledges from potential supporters based on measurable activities related to the organization's purpose. For a football team, a pledge fundraiser could be based on drills, laps, tackles, and practice hours.
VIP Game Seating Fundraisers
Football boosters and supporters can be nearly as passionate as the players themselves. This enthusiastic support offers a fantastic fundraising opportunity. Prime stadium seating will be worth a premium during the football season, and the team should take advantage of this fact and sell 50-yard line seats for a bit more than the regular price. The difference is pure fundraising gold!
Coupon Book Sales
Coupon books for area restaurants, spas, and grocery stores are excellent fundraisers for football teams. Pulling the coupon book together before sales will take some work. Team members and supporters can reach out to area businesses for unique coupons to be included in the coupon book, and the team can either come together to compose the book manually or send off for a service to complete them. Sales of these coupon books will benefit the team financially and extend the team’s connections to the community.
Summer Football Camp
Summertime is primetime for day camps, especially for sports. Sunny skies and free days make outdoor activities ideal, and parents are always looking for productive plans for school-age children during these months. At the end of a weeks-long day camp, a blowout on the football field, complete with music, food, face painting, and jumpers, can make the fundraiser a community-wide occasion.
Online Donation Campaign
Online donation campaigns are simple and safe for raising funds, particularly when you choose Fund-Team.com to facilitate the drive. We're one of many fundraising platforms, but unlike competing companies that take a 20% commission, we take a mere 5%. After the payment processing fee of ~3%, teams that choose Fund-Team.com retain about 92% of the donations raised.
The average Fund-Team.com donation campaign successfully raises $300 per student nationally.
A Fund-Team.com donation campaign requires a campaign organizer to sign up for the drive, have students enter the email addresses and phone numbers of potential supporters, and share a unique link on their social media pages. We will also provide a team link for the campaign organizer to share on the team's social media.
As donations come in for your school football team fundraiser, students will be prompted to send messages of gratitude to their supporters!
