All of our Fundraising University coaches are local to your community and work one-on-one with your team. They will be present and active from the moment your fundraiser kicks off until products and prizes are successfully delivered and money is in your bank. It’s your Fundraising University Coach’s job to help your team reach and exceed your goal!

We run fundraisers for a wide variety of programs for schools, from high school sports, to band, orchestra, choir, clubs, dance teams, and any other group activities that have between 10-1,000 students!

Our coaches are experienced with small team fundraisers (like volleyball fundraisers or school club fundraisers) and very large fundraisers (like football fundraisers, dance team fundraisers, or fundraisers for an entire school or school district). No matter what size team, you can still reach your goals

We want your life to be as easy as possible. Whether you’re a coach, teacher, or school administrator, you will meet with our Fundraising University Coach once before the fundraising kickoff. Then, you get to sit back and watch us do the heavy lifting.

We take the size of your team, season, and goals into account. You get to make the final call, but we’ll use our experience to guide you in the most profitable direction.

Our motto is “Dream Big.” We start by understanding how much money your team needs to raise, and then we work backward to set realistic goals and milestones for each student. Highlighting the story of a specific person can effectively inspire donors to take action, making the emotional connection more impactful. Then, we motivate them to reach those goals.

For example, we may have a football fundraiser with the goal to buy new uniforms and make repairs to a stadium. However, a softball fundraiser may have the goal of traveling to a national tournament. Each school team’s goal is very achievable. Your Fundraising University Coach will help you set proper milestones to ensure you meet those goals.

Everything is tracked and organized by your Fundraising University Coach so you don’t have to crunch any numbers on your way to the fundraising goals. You’ll receive updates along the way and a final report to show how much you sold and how much you profited.

Your Fundraising University Coach delivers all consumable products to a practice or meeting after the fundraiser. We unload the truck and sort out the products by student. Then all your student has to do is pick up their stack of products and deliver them to their supporters.

You will receive your money within 7-10 business days from the start of your fundraiser. That’s right. If we hold a 7-day football fundraiser to sell discount cards, the profits of that sale are generally available to you immediately on the last day of your fundraiser (and no more than 3 business days after that).

Some products are handed to the supporter at the time of sale (like our Discount Cards or All-In-One Pass Discount Tickets.)

Consumable products like popcorn and cookie dough are scheduled to be delivered 10-14 days after your fundraising efforts end. That means your supporters will wait no longer than 3 weeks to receive the products they purchase and will generally receive them earlier.

We take cash, checks, credit and debit cards. We also offer online donations.

Students can text their potential donors a secure link that allows that person to make a purchase through an online fundraising platform without ever handing a card to a kid. It’s a completely contact-free transaction!

We believe in the power of school communities, whether they’re private or public schools, team sports, clubs, or organizations in high school and middle school. There’s value in having quality equipment, uniforms, and playing fields and courts in our community. There’s also value in being able to travel for tournaments and other experiences when you’re in high school and middle school. But that all takes money. When our students are able to raise funds and invest in their own schools, teams, extracurricular activities, and experiences, it creates lasting memories but also sets a precedent for the students who will come after them, and the whole community benefits.

We also give back to communities with our sister nonprofit organization, the Coaching Matters Foundation, and a portion of our proceeds go to benefit Braden’s Hope for Childhood Cancer.

Coaching Matters is our sister nonprofit, created by us to help fund coaching clinics, coaching recognition and athlete recognition programs, and student scholarships. Coaches are one of the most influential people in a child’s life outside of their family but they need support in order to help student-athletes learn, grow, and succeed in their sport and life, which is charitable organizations like Coaching Matters come in.
