Cheer Fundraising

How Does Cheer Fundraising Work with GoPledge?

GoPledge makes peer-to-peer fundraising straightforward. Each participant receives an individual landing and donation page that they can share with family members, friends, neighbors, alumni, and other supporters.

Instead of relying on product sales or complicated fundraising activities, a cheer team can focus on pledges and flat donations. Each athlete can reach out to their own network, expanding the number of people who have an opportunity to support the team.

Set Clear Cheer Fundraising Goals

Before starting a cheerleading fundraiser, determine what the team needs and how much you hope to raise. A campaign might support uniforms, equipment, competition expenses, travel, or other team needs.

Clearly communicating these goals can help supporters understand how their contributions will benefit the program. The team can establish an overall goal and encourage each athlete to participate in helping the group reach it.

Cheerleading Fundraising Ideas Using Pledges and Donations

The best cheer fundraising ideas should fit naturally into the team’s schedule and make participation straightforward for athletes and supporters.

A cheer-a-thon or another cheer-related challenge can provide the foundation for a pledge-based campaign. Teams can also run a peer-to-peer campaign in which every participant shares their personal donation page.

For supporters who prefer to contribute a set amount, flat donations provide another simple option. These fundraising ideas allow teams to focus on reaching supporters rather than selling products or managing complicated fundraising activities.

Promote Your Cheerleading Fundraiser

Successful cheer fundraising depends on participation. Encourage athletes and parents to share individual donation pages with their personal networks through appropriate digital communication channels.

Explain what the team is raising money for and provide updates during the campaign. Consistent communication can keep the fundraiser visible while reminding participants to continue sharing their pages.

Schools and organizations should also follow their applicable policies concerning fundraising, participant information, and athlete photos.

How Much Does GoPledge Cost?

GoPledge is completely free for organizations to use. There are no setup fees, hidden costs, or complicated contracts. GoPledge also does not keep a percentage of the money raised.

Organizations keep 100% of the funds they raise, minus standard credit card processing fees. This structure allows cheer teams to keep more of the money supporters contribute toward their fundraising goals.
