Wrestling and Fundraising Needs
Wrestling club members must fundraise to pay for everything from transportation to uniforms, mats, and other equipment. As with any other sport, wrestling teams generally face budget shortfalls. Making up the difference between the amount provided by the school and the club's needs will require fundraising, and that's where Fund-Team.com can be vital!
Our platform makes it easy to request support from family members, friends, and other community members.
Make the Most of Any Fundraiser
When you hold a fundraiser, the priority should be to raise as much as possible for the wrestling club's use. With the following tips, you'll find any fundraiser you plan to be very successful.
- Explain the Why
Supporters want to know why a club or team needs their money. In this economy, every dollar counts, so when you want someone to part with it, explain where your donation will go - competition expenses, equipment purchases, or new uniforms.
- Add Urgency
Another item of information that will help raise funds is a deadline. Supporters will give more when they understand that time is of the essence. Let supporters know when events will occur and how important it is to meet the financial goals by then.
- Target and Personalize Donation Requests
At Fund-Team.com, we understand the power of personal connection. That's why we encourage participants to enter the contact information of family members and friends and include the athlete's name and headshot in the request. This personal touch can significantly increase the likelihood of a positive response, making your fundraising efforts more effective.
- Leverage Social Media
Social media plays a significant role in most people's lives, so it only makes sense to utilize these platforms when fundraising. Fund-Team.com provides each athlete with a unique link to share via social media and a general link for the campaign organizer to share on the team's social media pages.
- Simplify Donating
Supporters are more likely to give money when it's easy! Fund-Team.com accepts donations through debit/credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, with a processing fee of about 3% per payment method. Rest assured, all transactions are securely processed to protect your donors' financial information.
