The student council plays an important role in high school operations and in preparing students to embrace their role as citizens. Student councils raise funds for a variety of school-wide projects and field trips. The more funds a student council can raise, the more benefits the students that elect the council will experience. 

Fund-Team.com presents a method to add to your collection of student council fundraising ideas. We offer a 100% web-based platform for holding a donation drive that is free to set up, takes little time, and provides impressive returns.

Benefits of an Online Donation Drive

An online donation campaign allows supporters of the student council to donate conveniently, when and where they feel compelled. The lack of delay between the urge to donate and actually doing it often increases the amount donated. A virtual donation drive also allows distant relatives who live far away to provide support and eliminates the need to buy products that have a small profit margin and little usefulness.

Fund-Team.com allows you to set up an online donation drive for free. We charge a 5% commission on the donations received, and we require no minimum donation. Payments can be made via debit/credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal for about 3% in processing fees. These low, low fees mean that your student council fundraiser will reap about 92% of the donations.

Potential for Merchandise Sales as a Fundraiser

The student council can leverage school spirit as another way to raise funds for school purposes. Stickers, hoodies, lanyards, socks, and T-shirts are all items that highschoolers collect and use regularly. Whether the student council sets up a website to sell merch or does so within a school store, the potential return versus the cost for this fundraiser is positive.

The Profit of a Cash 50/50 Raffle

A 50/50 raffle is popular because it requires no upfront funding and offers a fairly certain profit. People like to participate in such a raffle because the tickets are inexpensive and they have a good chance to win. The downside of holding a raffle is the fact that student council members will have to handle cash, and some of them may be uncomfortable with the idea of condoning gambling.

Put Social Media Contacts to Good Use

High school students live their lives online for the most part, especially socially. With Fund-Team.com, student council members can put this social media presence to use. We will provide each member with a unique link to share on social media. The link will direct supporters to our platform to make a donation and will allow the donation to be tracked. We will also provide a single link for the council to post on its social media to leverage community and corporate support of the student council.
