Fundraising for teams and players

A goal, a thermometer and a link to share

Name a number, share a link, and let people give what they want. The bar only fills with money you have confirmed.

The simplest kind

Say what you need, and share one link

A goal fundraiser is for when there is a number to reach and no neat sheet to hang it on: the entry fee, the bus, the new uniforms. You set the goal and a deadline, tell people what it is for, and they give whatever they like.

Every gift is tracked the same way as on a squares sheet. A supporter picks an amount, sees where to send it, and taps "I sent it". You confirm it, and the bar moves.

Example
$1,425 received of $2,500
On the way
$250 waiting for the organizer to confirm
Why two colors

The bar never counts money that has not arrived

Most fundraising pages treat a promise as money. When a gift is sent from a phone, there is a gap between "I sent it" and "it is in the account", and an organizer who plans around the first number ends up short. Here the solid part of the bar is only what you have confirmed, and what is still on the way is shown beside it, so you and your supporters are both looking at the truth.

  • Set a real goal. A number tied to a real cost ("$1,800 for the tournament entry") beats a round number with no reason behind it.
  • Add a deadline. The countdown on the page is a reason to give this week.
  • Print the thermometer. Our free thermometer poster makes a printable page with a QR code, so the lobby and the bleachers can give too.
  • Say the number out loud. "We are at $1,425" in the group chat keeps it moving.

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

What is the difference between "received" and "on the way"?

On the way means a supporter tapped "I sent it". Received means you checked your payment app and pressed "I got it". The bar fills with received money in solid green and shows money on the way in a lighter stripe, so the page never claims money you do not have.

How much can a supporter give?

Any amount from $1 to $5,000 in one gift. The page suggests a few amounts and lets people type their own.

Can I set a deadline?

Yes. A last day to give shows as "days left" on the page. After it passes, the page stops taking new gifts, and you can still confirm anything that was already on the way.

Can I show who gave?

If you turn on the supporter list, the page shows confirmed gifts by the name each person chose, or "Anonymous". A supporter's private name and contact are only ever shown to you.

Can I set a goal and also use squares?

A fundraiser is one or the other. A squares sheet has its goal built in: the total of all the squares.
