Fundraising for teams and players
The $1 to $31 fundraiser, without the clipboard
Thirty-one days, thirty-one amounts, one link. Supporters pick a day and give that many dollars, and you stop crossing names off a paper sheet.
Free, and no fee on the money. Already have a fundraiser? Sign in.
Thirty-one days, thirty-one amounts
Day 1 is $1. Day 2 is $2. Day 15 is $15, and day 31 is $31. A supporter picks a day and gives that many dollars, and when the sheet is full it has raised $496.
It works because the ask is small and specific. "Can you do the 12th?" is easy to say yes to, and a supporter who picks the 25th has made a decision on the spot instead of promising to think about it. Everyone can also see which days are gone, which gives the rest of your list a nudge.
An example. Your page shows each day as open, taken or confirmed.
Set it up in a couple of minutes
- Make the sheet. Start a fundraiser and choose the classic $1 to $31, or every day of a month. Add a title, say what the money is for, and set a last day to give if you want one.
- Say where to send the money. Add your Venmo username, your Cash App cashtag, and any of PayPal, Zelle, cash or check you accept. Supporters only see these after they pick a day, so a stranger scrolling past cannot copy them.
- Share the link. Send it by text, post it, email it, or print the QR code on a flyer. People do not need an account to give.
- Confirm as the money arrives. Each supporter gets a short code to put in the payment note. When it shows up in your app, press "I got it" and the day turns to confirmed.

How teams get the whole sheet taken
- Ask for the big days first. Message three or four people you know will say yes and offer them the $25 to $31 days. The sheet then looks active before you ever post it.
- Name the day in the ask. "Would you take day 18?" gets a yes far more often than "please donate".
- Post it again as it fills. "Only 9 days left" works because it is true and visible. The share link always shows the current picture.
- Say what the money buys. A tournament entry fee or the bus to nationals is easier to give to than "the team".
- Thank people by name once you confirm their gift. A short text after you see the payment does more than a bigger post later.
- Give it an end date. A last day to give turns an open-ended favor into something to do this week.

Common questions
How much does a 31-day fundraiser raise?
If every day is taken, $496: the numbers from 1 to 31 add up to that. A 30-day month comes to $465, a 29-day February to $435 and a 28-day February to $406. Most sheets do not fill completely, so plan around the days you can realistically get taken.
Can I tie it to a real calendar month?
Yes. Choose "every day of a month" and each square is a date, with day 1 at $1 and day 15 at $15. Or choose numbered squares and run it whenever you like.
Can I change the amounts?
Yes. The classic sheet goes up by $1, but you can start and step by any amount ($5 to $155 over 31 squares comes to $2,480), use the same amount on every square, or type your own list.
What if someone wants to give more than their day?
They can add a little extra when they pick. It is counted as part of their gift and shows in your total once you confirm it.
What if a day is taken and the person never pays?
A day stays held for the person who picked it until they tap "I sent it" or you release it, so nothing reopens on a clock while you are away from your phone. If the money never shows up, or somebody picks a day and never finishes, you release it and the day is open again. If you would rather an unfinished pick opened up by itself, you can choose a time from 15 minutes to 24 hours instead.
