Break Free From the Fees: The Importance of Fee-Free Fundraising for Athletic Teams and Schools

In the fast-paced world of school sports, where budgets can often be tight, finding effective means to raise funds is crucial. Traditional fundraising methods can be time-consuming and other platforms can be laden with fees that eat into essential resources. At Schoolfundr, we understand the challenges faced by coaches, teachers, and athletic directors who strive to provide the best for their teams without the burden of platform fees. Our commitment is simple: we believe that every dollar raised should go directly to supporting school athletic programs. 

You don’t have to accept 10%, 20% or even 30% in platform fees to conduct your online fundraising. 

By eliminating platform fees, Schoolfundr empowers athletic teams and schools to keep all of their funds. This means more money for equipment, travel expenses, uniforms, and vital training resources, as costs for each continue to rise and public budgets get squeezed. Every little bit counts, especially in the competitive landscape of school sports where every advantage can make a significant difference. We are dedicated to ensuring that teams can focus on what truly matters: training hard, competing fiercely, and fostering a love for the game among young athletes.
