Fund-Team.com provides a streamlined platform for requesting and accepting online donations with a lower commission and ease of use that rivals other school fundraising websites. Our platform is fully web-based, and fundraising campaigns cost nothing to set up.
Fundraisers - Necessary for Extracurricular Programs
School budgets aren’t generally comprehensive enough to include all of the expenses for both academic requirements and extracurricular programs.
Overcoming the budget shortfalls falls to the students and boosters. Fundraisers, online and offline, make up the difference. Rather than relying only on traditional fundraisers that involve sales, event hosting, door knocking, and baked good selling, why not incorporate an online donation drive? The process is fairly effortless, and the Fund-Team.com platform is straightforward, user-friendly, and productive.
Online fundraising uses the internet to secure support for a group’s mission. For schools, these efforts target family members, friends, and other community supporters of sports teams, bands, academic clubs, and other organizations. Using the internet to reach supporters allows this type of fundraiser to become a regular part of the groups’ fundraising plans.
Online Donations through Fund-Team.com
An online fundraising platform like Fund-Team.com can provide the support required to make online fundraisers work. We’ll help you engage the community without taking 20% or more of your donations as other sites do. Our commission is 5%, and the donation processing providers take around 3%. These expenses leave our clients with ~92% of the donations intended for them, a percentage that leads the industry.
The platform that Fund-Team.com provides sends personalized emails with headshots of the student as well as his or her name in the “from” line of the email. These donation requests won’t be random; students enter the email addresses, and we use a verification system to find any data entry errors to prevent bounces.
In addition to contacting specific friends and family members, Fund-Team.com participants receive a unique link that they can share on their social media feeds or through SMS, and we send the campaign organizer a link for the team’s feed. This process allows the club to track the donations by the student.
Remembering to say thank you is important. Fund-Team.com sends automatic donation notifications as well as key prompts to remind students to say thanks as soon as possible.
Donation Processing through Fund-Team.com
The processing of donations is necessary for online contributions to be moved from donors’ accounts to ours and then yours. The Fund-Team.com platform accepts credit/debit cards, which we process through Stripe, which also accepts PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.
Fund-Team.com delivers 80% of donations right away, but we will hold the remaining 20% for 60 days in case payment issues arise with any of the pledges.
