Share Your Fundraiser
The more people who know about your fundraiser, the more successful it will be. Don’t forget to let your team know about it. Send a message through the TeamSnap app with a link to your fundraiser and invite them to donate and share your fundraiser with others! Team Members will be able to access your team fundraiser directly through their app in the “More” menu. They simply look for “Fundraising” and click “Donate”. Anyone can also share the Fundraiser with family and friends through social, sms and email share buttons on the Fundraiser Page.
You can find more tips and tools in our online Fundraising Hub, including Message Templates, Social Media Graphics, creative ideas for fundraising, and more! Team members, parents, and guardians can also access the Fundraising Hub for fundraising guidance and inspiration.

Thank you for setting up a fundraiser with TeamSnap Fundraising powered by Accelerist. Now it’s time to start working toward your fundraising goal.
Whether you’re fundraising to supplement team costs for uniforms or away games, or you’re fundraising to support a specific team member, your fundraiser is important. Here are our top fundraising tips to help you reach your fundraiser goal:
1. Set a challenging goal. A goal can help keep your team motivated as you raise funds. If you reach the goal early, you can increase it through the Teamsnap Fundraising powered by Accelerist portal and work toward a stretch goal.
2. Share why you’re fundraising. Donors are more likely to give when they understand how the funds will be used, so update your fundraising page and explain how the donations you receive will help your group.
Fun Fact: Fundraisers who update their fundraising page raise 3 times more, on average, than those who do not.
3. Lead by example. Get your fundraiser moving by making a donation to let your team and prospective donors know you’ve got skin in the game. Challenge others to match – or exceed – your donation amount.
4. Get the word out. Send a message to your team and invite them to share your fundraiser link via email, text, and/or social media. The more your team shares your fundraiser, the more you’ll raise. Point them to the pre-written messages, posts, and graphics available in the Fundraising Hub for help and inspiration.
5. Make it fun! Challenge your team to come up with creative ideas that will motivate them to raise funds. Reward their efforts with prizes, treats, or experiences they will enjoy. Check out the Creative Fundraising Ideas for inspiration!
We can’t wait to see your team come together and crush your fundraising goal!
