Online fundraising with TeamUnify will generate significant revenue for your team, in a very short period of time. Since the introduction of TUMoney in 2013, TeamUnify teams have raised an astonishing $15.125 Million.

Traditionally one of the hardest roadblocks with fundraising is reaching out beyond your team's normal donation circle. The TUMoney platform enables swim teams and participants to reach potential donors at a significantly larger scale.

 

The traditional fundraising methods of going door-to-door, writing letters, and making phone calls become much less impactful. With this larger outreach, your team will collect FAR more donations in FAR less time!

  • Immediate online donations avoid donation fall out. Email links and the TUMoney platform decrease the risk of promised donations never being collected.

 

2. Leverage Social Media - The impact is HUGE!

 

3. Utilize Online Credit Card Processing to Grow Donations 

  • Take a step towards making cash collection even easier and add Credit Card Processing.
  • You will see larger donations via credit card than cash/check by 50%+. No more $10-$25 dollar donations. TUMoney’s average online donation is $76.
  • This provides fast access to donated funds within 24 - 48 hours after the transaction occurs.
  • Access simple and effective reporting, getting your results posted faster than ever to stay on top of the donation circle. 

 

4. Share Your Results

  • Post a Blog or News Article on your success with pictures of the event, the swimmers, and the team.
  • Let donors feel like they are a part of the event and share your results and your success. Use those great social and e-mail channels to follow up with donors on your teams success.
