Being part of a team benefits social, physical, and emotional development. From sports to academics, teams compete for fun and bragging rights, but participation requires team fundraising efforts to pay for the costs associated with activities and competition. Fund-Team.com provides a convenient, lucrative, and secure method of raising cash for a purpose-driven organization.
Maximize Fundraising by Doing It Together
Teams can raise money more effectively when they do so as a unit. In turn, the fundraising efforts also help draw teams closer together. Fund-Team.com provides a convenient way to implement a team-wide donation drive using an entirely web-based platform.
Team fundraisers need to be driven by a goal and a purpose. Evaluate your team's needs and plans with an estimate regarding how much those expenses will cost. With this number in mind, teams can begin to plan a package of fundraiser ideas.
The fundraisers that your team chooses need to parallel the team's activities, the number of members, and appropriate fundraising options.
Creative Options for Fundraisers
Selling Team Merch
Look around at what most high schoolers are wearing. You'll see branded merch everywhere. Whether they're sporting old band Ts, hoodies hocked by the influencer of the day, or a popular sporting team's branded gear, branded merchandise is on-trend. Why not leverage this trend for fundraisers? A team logo, interesting graphics, and a choice of color will make shirts, hoodies, socks, and other merchandise popular in the community. The team can sell these goods via their website and social media for a hands-free, effortless undertaking.
Restaurant Fundraising Events
Put your community's eateries to use in your fundraising plans by selling coupons for local establishments or hosting a night where a percentage of sales goes toward the team's cash-raising efforts. Local restaurants and chains will often find these arrangements appealing because they bring in business and allow the establishments to present their value as an eatery.
Team members can advertise the event on social media, hang flyers throughout town, and have family members email friends and co-workers.
Raffle Off a Prize or Cash
A fundraising raffle is another excellent choice. Prizes that you raffle can be donated from area businesses, or you can raffle off a percentage of the take. A 50/50 raffle allows the team to spend nothing but their time. For a 50/50 raffle, determine the goal amount for the fundraiser and determine that the team needs to sell twice the number of tickets. For instance, if your team wants to raise $2,000, members must sell 4,000 tickets at $1 each. Alternatively, the team can raise the price of tickets to reduce the number of tickets needed to be sold.
Online Donation Drive
While many different platforms exist for online donation campaigns, most of them charge exorbitant fees for the privilege of hosting your effort. Fund-Team.com, however, charges no fees for set-up, has no minimum raised, and charges a small 5% commission for the campaign.
Credit card processing fees typically equal about 3%, so our clients keep around 92% of the money they collect.
Fund-Team.com simplifies the process of asking for donations online. A donation campaign requires a campaign organizer to sign up for the drive, have students enter potential supporters' email addresses and phone numbers, 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. Then the team can sit back and watch the funds roll in.
