Donations

Thanks for choosing to support a TeamSnap Fundraiser, powered by Accelerist. You’re helping make youth sports more accessible to kids – and that’s awesome! When donating to a TeamSnap fundraiser, the minimum donation amount is $1, and there is no maximum donation.

To make a donation, you don’t need to sign up for a TeamSnap or Accelerist account. 

To donate, just follow these steps:

1. Find the correct fundraiser and select “Donate”
2. Choose from one of the pre-loaded donation options, or enter a custom amount you’d like to donate
3. You can also elect to cover transaction fees and share your information with the Team for recognition purposes
4. Choose from one of two payment methods:
• PayPal
• Credit/Debit Card
• Visa
• Mastercard
• American Express
• Discover
• Payment options may vary by country. All currencies will be available and will automatically revert to the geographic location of the donor.
5. Confirm donation by clicking “Pay Now”. You’ll be sent a confirmation receipt through the email you provided.

Now that you’ve made your donation, you’ll be able to share the fundraiser with your network.

To share a fundraiser, just choose one of the share options – either email, SMS or social network.

Please only use your own card and email address to make a donation. Do not use someone else’s card or donate on their behalf. For payment information, please enter your name exactly as it is shown on the card.

If you’re receiving an error message or your donation isn’t processing, please try the following:

• Double-check the information and spelling you entered matches the card or the PayPal account you’re using.
• Clear your internet’s history by clearing cache and cookies, using a private browser, or trying a different device.
• Use a different payment method, or contact your bank to ensure there are sufficient funds and the bank isn’t blocking the transaction.

Multiple donation attempts within a short amount of time may result in the donation failing for your protection. If you’ve tried all of the above steps and still can’t complete the donation, it’s best to wait 24 hours and then try making your donation again. If you’re still having trouble, you can click the “help” button to contact the TeamSnap Fundraising team.
