Fundraising for teams and players

The choose-a-square fundraiser, online

A grid of amounts, each one claimable once. It is the paper sheet people already understand, with the double-booking and the lost clipboard taken out.

The paper sheet, fixed

Every square can be claimed once

You have probably seen the paper version: a grid on a clipboard, a name written in each square, a team parent adding it up at the end. It works until two people take the same square, the sheet goes home in somebody's bag, or the total will not add up.

Online, a square belongs to whoever picks it first. It is held while they pay, it shows to everyone as taken, and it stays that way until they tap "I sent it" or you release it. Try it on the sheet below: pick a square, send it, confirm it, and then try to take one that is already gone.

This is a demo. Nothing you tap here is saved or sent anywhere, and reloading the page starts it over.

Make it your own

Any number of squares, any amounts

Setting up a squares sheet comes down to one question, "Which sheet?", and the squares follow from your answer. Try each choice here. This is a demo of that screen, so nothing is saved.

Set up this sheet online

Nothing you type here is sent anywhere. The button opens the real setup screen.

The fundraising calculator works out the total for any start, step and count before you decide, and the printable sheet gives you a paper copy for the lobby.

Want a few big squares and a lot of small ones? The mixed-amounts page shows three sheets to start from and how to choose the amounts.

Good to know

What a supporter does, and what you do

They pick up to eight squares and enter a name that only you can see, so you can match their payment.
They send one payment for the total, to the handle you listed, with a short code in the note.
They tap "I sent it". The squares stay taken, and you are told there is something to confirm.
You confirm it when the money shows in your app, or release it if it never does.
A supporter can add a note for the player, which appears on the page only after you confirm their gift.

Where the money goes

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.

Common questions

How many squares can a sheet have?

From 5 to 100. Each square can be from $1 to $1,000, and a sheet can add up to as much as $100,000, though most teams run something far smaller.

Can two people pick the same square?

No. The first person to pick a square holds it while they pay, and a square that is held or taken cannot be picked by anyone else. It stays theirs until they tap "I sent it" or you release it, so a pick that never gets finished waits for you instead of vanishing on a clock. If you would rather it opened up by itself, you can choose a time from 15 minutes to 24 hours in your settings.

Can I have a few big squares and a lot of small ones?

Yes. Choose "Two or three amounts" or "A mix of amounts" when you set up the sheet, then say how many squares have each amount: for example 20 squares at $10, 20 at $20 and 10 at $50. The cheapest squares come first on the sheet, so supporters can find the amount they want. It still has to fit the same limits as any sheet: 5 to 100 squares, each from $1 to $1,000.

Can a supporter take more than one square?

Yes, up to 8 at a time, in one gift. They send one payment for the total, and you confirm it once.

What if a supporter picks a square by mistake?

Before they press the Hold button, a tap only highlights a square, and tapping it again un-picks it. Once it is held, a "Never mind" link gives it back. If they pressed "I sent it" by mistake, they can take that back too, until you confirm it. None of it needs a login: it works from the browser they used, or from their private link on another device.

What if someone pays me in cash at practice?

Record it yourself. You choose the squares and who gave, and it counts as received straight away. That is what replaces writing a name on the paper sheet.

Can I run a squares game with a prize?

No. A squares sheet here is only a way to choose an amount. Adding a prize, a drawing or a winner can turn it into a lottery, which is regulated or illegal in many states, and our terms do not allow it.
