Fundraising for teams and players
Fundraising for teams and players, with no fee
Run the $1 to $31 calendar, a sheet of squares or a goal as one link. Supporters pay you directly, you confirm what arrived, and nobody keeps a clipboard.
Free, and no fee on the money. Already have a fundraiser? Sign in.
Three ways to run it
Pick the one that matches the paper sheet you would have used. Want a mix of small and large squares? See mixed amounts.
31-day fundraiser
Day 1 is $1, day 15 is $15, day 31 is $31. Supporters pick a day, you see what is taken, and it adds up to $496.
See how it worksChoose-a-square fundraiser
Any number of squares, any amounts. Supporters pick theirs and nobody can pick the same one twice.
See how it worksGoal fundraiser
Set a goal and let people give any amount. A bar shows what has arrived and what is on the way.

Everyone can see what is taken
A paper sheet gets double-booked, goes missing and has to be totaled by hand. One link fixes the part everyone hates.
An example of the $1 to $31 sheet. Yours updates as people pick and as you confirm.
Pick, send, confirm
- A supporter picks. They open your link, choose a square or an amount, and enter a name only you can see.
- They send the money to you. The page shows your Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, cash or check details, and a code to put in the note. They tap "I sent it".
- You confirm it. You check your payment app, press "I got it", and only then does it count toward the total.
Playbook Logix never holds, moves or touches this money, and charges no fee on it. Supporters send gifts straight to the organizer by the method the organizer chose, and Playbook Logix only keeps track of what was picked and what has been confirmed.
Venmo, Cash App, PayPal and Zelle are trademarks of their respective owners. Playbook Logix is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

Does it cost anything?
No. Making an account and running a fundraiser are free. There is no fee on the money either, because it never passes through Playbook Logix. The payment apps your supporters use have their own rules and may have their own fees, so check each one.
Can people give by credit card?
Not through our pages. We never take a card number. Supporters send the money straight to you by Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, cash or check, whichever you list. If a relative wants to use a card, PayPal is the usual way, and that happens on PayPal, not on our site.
Do supporters need an account?
No. They open your link, pick a square or an amount, see how to pay you, and tap "I sent it". You are the only one who needs an account, and it is free.
How do I know a payment really arrived?
You check your payment app. Every supporter gets a short code to put in the payment note, so you can match the money to the claim, and nothing counts toward your total until you press "I got it". The bar on the page shows confirmed money and money that is only on the way as two different colors.
What stops two people picking the same square?
The first person to pick a square holds it while they pay. It stays theirs until they tap "I sent it" or the organizer releases it, so nothing opens up on a clock while the organizer is away from their phone. Two people reaching for the same square at the same moment cannot both get it.
Is a page about my child public?
Anyone with the link can open it, and the page shows a child as a first name and last initial, like "Emma S.". It is kept out of search engines, and it shows no age, school or address. What you write and whether you add a photo is up to you.
Is this a charity, and can people deduct their gift?
No. Playbook Logix is not a charity and does not verify who a fundraiser is for. A gift to a person or a team is generally not tax-deductible, and we do not give tax receipts.
Can I offer a prize or a drawing?
No, and please do not. Squares are only a way to choose an amount. A game with a prize, a payment and an element of chance is regulated, and often illegal, in many states. Our terms do not allow it.
The fundraiser is one part of Playbook Logix
Playbook Logix is sports management software: registration, rosters, schedules, payments and team communication in one place. Fundraising is free to use whether or not you use the rest.
Put the clipboard away
Make a fundraiser in a few minutes, share the link, and see what is taken at a glance. It is free, and the money goes straight to you.
