Donations & Campaigns
Set up a fundraising campaign in minutes. Donors give online through secure Stripe checkout. Your organization receives the full donation — donors cover all fees.
Youth sports fundraising platform
Your team deserves better than paper pledge sheets.
HometownLift is a fundraising platform built for youth sports programs. Campaigns, athlete pages, pledge events, ticketing, and a cashless event-day store — all in one place. Your organization keeps 100% of every donation because donors cover the fees.
Platform Features
One platform. All your fundraising.
Everything a youth sports team needs to run a successful fundraiser — without the spreadsheets, cash boxes, or follow-up emails.
Athlete-Owned Pages
Each player gets a personal fundraising page with their own story, goal, and QR code. Personal pages drive more donations because supporters give to a kid, not a logo.
Pledge Fundraisers
Run walk-a-thons, squat-a-thons, or any pledge-per-unit event. Athletes share a link, supporters commit per rep or lap, and payments are collected automatically after results are entered.
Event Ticketing
Sell game tickets and event admission through the same platform. QR checkout — no cash box needed at the gate.
QR Code Store
Run a snack bar or merch table at your event. Each station gets its own QR code and live order feed. Volunteers fulfill orders as they come in.
Built-In Reporting
One dashboard shows donations, store sales, fees, and net to your organization. Export to Excel or CSV anytime for accounting.
Donor-Paid Fee Model
Your organization keeps 100%
Many platforms deduct a significant share from your donations before payout. HometownLift adds a 5% platform fee plus card processing to the donor's checkout total instead. Your organization receives the full gift amount — always.
HometownLift
Donor pays $108.53 at checkout. Your org receives $100.00. Donor covered all fees.
Typical org-deducted platform
Donor pays $100. Your org receives a reduced amount after the platform deducts its share from the gift.
How It Works
From setup to donations in four steps
Step 1
Create a Campaign
Choose your fundraising type — donation, pledge, or event — and set a goal.
Step 2
Athletes Share Personal Pages
Each athlete gets a unique page with a QR code to share with family, friends, and supporters.
Step 3
Donors Support Your Team
Supporters visit the page, donate or pledge, and pay securely online. Fees are added to their total — not deducted from your gift.
Step 4
Your Organization Keeps Everything
Donations go directly to your connected Stripe account. Your org receives 100% of every gift amount.
