School Teams
One team. One season. One goal that fits both.
A school team fundraiser lives or dies on timing and on how many of the roster actually take part. Get both right and a modest goal is comfortable; get either wrong and the same goal becomes a slog carried by five families.
What this actually looks like
The pressures that shape a campaign for this kind of group.
The budget rarely covers the whole list
Uniforms on a rotation, travel, meals, equipment replacement, the thing that broke in week three. Programs raise the difference, every year.
The coach is not a fundraiser
Nor should they be. The setup work should sit with us and with a couple of parent leads, not with the person running practice.
Participation beats generosity
Twenty players reaching ten people each raises more than three players reaching a hundred. We plan for the roster, not for the top of it.
How we would approach it
A starting point, not a script. The plan changes once we know your calendar.
- Set the window against your first practice and first home date
- Give every athlete their own sharing page and a participation target
- Recruit two parent campaign leads so it does not fall on the coach
- Name the goal after the thing it funds so families know what they are backing
- Close it before the schedule takes over

Questions
Questions from groups like yours
Straight answers, including the ones without a comfortable number attached.
When is the best time in the season to fundraise?
Most groups do best starting shortly before their season begins, while attention is high and the schedule has not taken over yet. Season dates vary by sport and by state, so we plan the window around your actual calendar.
How much work is this for our coaches and volunteers?
The setup work is front-loaded and we do most of it with you. Once the campaign is live, the day-to-day is participants sharing their own pages rather than volunteers managing inventory, order forms or cash.
How does participant sharing work?
Each participant gets their own page on MoneyDolly to share with family and friends. Contributions made through that page count toward both their personal progress and the group total.
How does our group receive the money?
Funds raised come to your group through the MoneyDolly platform once the campaign is complete. Specific terms, timing and any applicable fees are set by MoneyDolly and are covered during setup.
