Top Online Platforms for Effective Youth Sports Fundraising
Here are the top online platforms for effective youth sports fundraising, which can be accomplished easily on TeamSnap.
Youth sports offer invaluable experiences for young people that go beyond the physical. They can teach discipline, social skills, building self-esteem, and resilience. But these days, the costs associated with participation in youth sports teams have become a barrier for many families. Equipment, travel, and other expenses continue to rise, so securing financial support is now more crucial than ever.
This financial strain has led teams to look for new and innovative fundraising methods. Many organizations are now turning to online platforms to streamline their fundraising efforts and connect with supportive communities.
Explore the top online platforms for effective fundraising campaigns, especially youth sports fundraisers. We’ll also learn how TeamSnap can make a difference. This knowledge can help you tackle the issue of rising costs of youth sports.
How to Use TeamSnap to Raise Funds
One way your team can raise funds is to use TeamSnap. We’re known as a sports management platform, but we also offer a solid fundraising feature. This feature can be useful for sports teams, clubs, or leagues to raise funds for equipment, travel, or facilities.
Signing up for TeamSnap Sponsorship
Signing up for TeamSnap Sponsorship means connecting to the platform’s sponsorship community. This model uses your organization’s information to match you with a local or national brand sponsor. Each sponsorship contains a package of deliverables that your team or club will execute. As you execute them, your team gets paid.
The TeamSnap Sponsorship team doesn’t match your team randomly. We carefully review applications and find the organizations that would best suit your team as sponsors. We even provide you with creative assets to help you execute the sponsorship.
Not only that, but TeamSnap takes care of the little details that you need to do for the sponsorship. This may include activating your sponsors and calculating the return on investment. The TeamSnap Sponsorship crew also handles looping your sponsors in on any details, creating promotional materials, and providing photos and reporting for the sponsorship activation.
HundredX Fundraising program
TeamSnap partners with HundredX for a fundraising program. Under the HundredX Fundraising program, sports clubs and teams can raise an average of $2,500 by having members and their parents participate in 60-second surveys over 30 days.
This innovative online fundraiser for sports teams is not only popular (it’s used by more than 500 leagues nationwide) but also creative and innovative.
To begin with, you must create an account with TeamSnap. Then, you must log in to that account, start a campaign, and customize it!
List of the Top 3 Online Platforms to Fundraise
TeamSnap offers all the convenience of fundraising, especially for sports teams already using our platform for sports management. All fundraising activities are seamlessly integrated with team activities and communication. However, there are other online fundraising platforms throughout the industry.
1. RallyUp
RallyUp has a friendly interface and customizable features. The fundraising tools are quite complete. You can start peer-to-peer fundraising, raffles, sweepstakes, online auctions, and team challenges. The possibilities are limitless here. But it would be wise to put up a tipping option; otherwise, you have to pay a platform fee. Full access is only for those who subscribe to a premium plan, which is quite steep ($99 per month).
2. Givebutter
Like RallyUp, Givebutter is a multifaceted platform with plenty of fundraising options. These include online donations, crowdfunding, and even ticket sales. The platform is also user-friendly. However, turn on the tips option (Givebutter has a form where donors can mark how many percentages of their donation they want to give to the platform as a tip). Otherwise, you’ll be faced with different fees for fundraising options.
3. FlipGive
Among the fundraising platforms listed here, FlipGive is probably the most unique: it doesn’t ask for external donations. Through the app, teams earn funds by shopping at affiliated brands (Nike, Adidas, Best Buy, etc.). Then, a portion of their purchase goes directly to the team. There’s no fee to use FlipGive; just shop and get cash back. However, it does make it hard to keep track of how much money has been raised. It’s fun, but managing it might take a little extra work.
Why TeamSnap Is the Most Efficient in Fundraising
We’re sure other popular online fundraisers or fundraising platforms can help you raise funds, but we think none of them works better than TeamSnap. We don’t only provide fundraising options; we integrate the fundraising aspect into our entire suite of sports management tools through our platform.
From there, coaches and team managers can quickly launch a direct donation campaign through our mobile app. Sign up today and meet your fundraising goal right now.
