The Keys of Fundraising

Youth and school sports teams, choirs, academic and community service clubs, and all sorts of extracurricular activities during junior high and high school require fundraising. These funds are essential to the organization's activities, and participation in such clubs is vital to the adolescent experience. They teach teamwork, friendship development, sportsmanship, and more. Students find their passionate interests when growing through extracurricular participation.

Unfortunately, the old and new providers of fundraisers share one attribute: greed. When students sell overpriced, often unwanted items to family and friends, the organization receives a small percentage of the profit, and when the organization sets up a virtual fundraising campaign, many of the platforms take an exorbitant commission.

Fund-Team.com allows clubs and teams to break free from sales. Our clients’ students have nothing to sell, no doors on which to knock, no cars to wash, and no cash to handle. Using our platform will keep students safe and allow your club to keep far more of the donations made.

When launching a fundraiser, the key is to ensure potential donors or customers know the purpose of the transaction and how the money will be used. Whether the band needs new instruments, cheerleaders need transportation funds for competition, or the debate club needs new index cards, clarify the group’s needs. Family members, friends, and community members who appreciate the importance of the club to the student will be more inclined to help when they can appreciate the need.

Another prime piece of information to share when requesting donations is a deadline. When your students’ community members know the urgency of the need, they’ll be more motivated to give. Keep supporters updated regarding upcoming events and needs that need to be met by those dates!

Fund-Team.com personalizes donation requests to include the individual student’s name and headshot on the email sent to that student’s friends or family. The reassurance and connection motivate hesitant donors.

Pro Tips for Fund-Team.com

  • Emails entered by the students must be valid emails of family members, friends, and community members (no made-up emails or those of strangers);
  • Make use of the three ways to respect donations:
    • Students entering emails of potential donors;
    • Students posting unique, trackable links on their social media pages;
    • Campaign organizer posting the team’s donation request link on the team’s social media pages.
  • Send thank you messages to donors. Not only do family members and friends appreciate being recognized for their generosity and will be more likely to give in the future, but this recognition, when seen on social media, may inspire other contacts to give as well. 

Fund-Team.com’s low commission is only 5%, and our payment partners (Stripe for credit card payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal) keep ~3%. The average student earns $300 per campaign, and the team keeps around 92% of that money! Compare that figure to the 50% many other product fundraiser companies take.
