This is the biggest difference. On a $10,000 fundraiser, a competitor charging 25% commission takes $2,500. Fund-Team.com takes only $500. That's $2,000 more in your team's pocket.
Other online fundraising companies employ commissioned salespeople whose salaries come directly from the fees charged to your organization. Fund-Team.com has no salespeople and passes those savings on to you.
With many competitors, a salesperson sets a fundraising quota and pressures participants to meet it — sometimes making students feel guilty if they don't raise enough. Fund-Team.com was built by booster parents who experienced this firsthand and refused to run their platform that way. Every team is supported equally, and there are no quotas.
Fund-Team.com pays out 80% of funds the day your campaign ends, with the remaining 20% sent 60 days later once all transactions clear. Many competitors hold your funds for 60 days or more before sending any payment — during which time you have no access to the money your donors already gave.
Some larger fundraising companies are openly dismissive of small organizations because they earn less commission from them. Fund-Team.com charges the same flat 5% to every team regardless of size. A small 20-person orchestra gets the same quality of service and support as a 200-person band.
Fund-Team.com offers live phone, text, and email support throughout your campaign — for organizers, participants, and donors. Competitors often route support through automated queues or chatbots, leaving questions unanswered during critical fundraising windows.
On a $100 credit card donation:
That difference compounds significantly across hundreds or thousands of donors.
Setup takes 10 minutes. No contract, no commitment, no salesperson to deal with.
