Founded in 2009, Fundraising University is the leader in the school sports fundraising having raised over $45M dollars across 8,000+ schools. Their success stems from a positive community impact, low start up and overhead costs, proven documented systems, strong leadership, exceptional training, and exceptional unit-level economics.
Equipping students, coaches and communities to…Dream Big, Raise More, Work Smart! We have found that often the word “fundraising” makes students, staff and coaches cringe. It doesn’t have to be that way. Fundraising should unify teams, fuel programs and create lasting, positive change for entire communities. At Fundraising University, we plan, execute, and repeat a successful fundraiser that student athletes and the community will look forward to year after year. Most of all, we believe in customer service. We serve coaches, students, schools and communities. As a personal Fundraising University Coach, we’re alongside the coaches, and students every step of the way. From launch to product delivery, we’re here to help coaches and students have the best fundraising experience possible. If the team can dream it, we help bring that dream to life.
