Booster club fundraising
School booster clubs support football, basketball, soccer, track, and a dozen other programs, but most fundraising tools are built for one team at a time. HometownLift gives your booster club a single dashboard where every sport runs its own campaigns, every athlete has a personal page, and the treasurer gets one consolidated report.
The challenge
Football does a golf tournament, soccer sells discount cards, basketball runs a shoot-a-thon, and the swim team uses GoFundMe. The booster board has no visibility into total dollars raised or which programs are falling short.
When donations come in through Venmo, cash, checks, Square, and three different online platforms, the treasurer spends hours reconciling. Audit season turns a volunteer role into a part-time job.
Booster club officers rotate every one to two years. When the outgoing president kept everything in personal email and a Google Sheet, the incoming board starts from scratch with no donor history or campaign templates.
When three sports launch campaigns in the same week, the same pool of school families gets hit from every direction. Without a shared calendar or dashboard, overlap is inevitable and donation fatigue sets in.
The HometownLift approach
See fundraising totals across every sport from one screen. Drill into any program to see individual campaigns, athlete progress, and donor details without switching between tools.
Give each sport the same fundraising workflow: create a campaign, upload the roster, set a goal, and share links. Coaches and team parents run their own campaigns while the booster board maintains oversight.
Export all donations by sport, campaign, date range, or donor. Reports include payment method, fee coverage status, and athlete attribution. Your treasurer gets a clean file instead of a shoebox of receipts.
Donor history, past campaigns, and organizational settings live in the platform, not in someone's personal inbox. When officers change, the new board picks up where the last one left off.
