There are many different ways you can raise money for your team. Here are some options. Raffles can be big money makers especially if you can get all your prizes donated by local businesses. Then the only cost you will have is printing the tickets.
You can sell products to raise money. From beef jerky to seat cushions there are opportunities to sell many things. Some of them you get the product and then sell them one by one. While others you take orders from a catalog.
Another option is selling discount cards or coupon books. They provide great value for the price if used regularly. You can raise money much faster selling $20 coupon books than with the $1 items.
Many large corporations such as Nike and Microsoft offer grants available to youth sports organizations. Some government agencies also help with funding youth sports.
Fundraising is a great way to help keep costs down for parents. We all know the expenses can rack up fast for our kids sports. Just check out STATS DAD for more on the cost of youth sports.
Not everyone can do this; however our son’s baseball academy allows for individual teams to host a tournament where the team receives proceeds from admission and team tournament fees. We also have a barbeque during the tournament and sell stuff like turkey legs etc.
