How donation platform fees actually work (and what to ask before you sign up for one)
Every fundraising platform charges something: the difference is whether you can say exactly what, before a parent asks you to explain it. Here's what to actually check.
Peer-to-peer vs. one shared team link: which actually raises more
Both models work. They work for different reasons, and picking the wrong one for your group is the most common reason a fundraiser undershoots its goal.
Running a walk-a-thon without a shoebox of pledge sheets
Pledge-per-unit fundraising works, donors like paying for laps actually run, not just a flat ask, but the old version means weeks of paper chasing after the event. Here's the version that doesn't.
Turning the team group text into a fundraiser
The families on your roster already have group texts and grandparents who'd give if they were asked directly. The job isn't finding more donors: it's making it effortless for the donors you already have access to.
What actually happens after you hit publish
The setup guide gets you to launch day. This is what the next few weeks actually look like, where to check progress, when money really shows up, and what's normal versus what needs your attention.
