Fundraising for teams and players
A squares fundraiser with a mix of amounts
Not every family gives the same. Say how many squares are small and how many are big, and the sheet builds itself, cheapest first.

Say how many squares have each amount
A sheet that goes up by the same step decides every amount for you. Sometimes you know better. You want plenty of $10 squares for the neighbors, a handful of $50 squares for the grandparents and the business that keeps asking how to help, and nothing in between. For that, you tell the setup screen how many squares there are at each amount, and the sheet builds itself.
Two or three amounts
Three lines, each with an amount and how many squares have it. The third line is optional. It is the quick way to make a sheet of small, medium and large squares.
A mix of amounts
A table with up to ten lines. Five are open, and "Add another amount" opens the rest. Use it when three is too few: $5, $10, $20, $25 and $50 on one sheet.
Either way the setup screen shows what each line adds up to, and what the whole sheet adds up to, before you create it. Try the choices on the choose-a-square page, where a demo of the setup screen draws the sheet as you type.
Three sheets to start from
Each button opens the setup screen with the lines already filled in. Change any number before you create it.
A small team
- 15 squares at $10 ($150)
- 10 squares at $20 ($200)
- 5 squares at $30 ($150)
30 squares, $500 if every one is taken.
Mostly small squares, because most families will give a little. Five bigger ones are there for the people who want to do more.
A bigger ask
- 20 squares at $10 ($200)
- 20 squares at $20 ($400)
- 10 squares at $50 ($500)
50 squares, $1,100 if every one is taken.
Three clear steps: a gift almost anyone can make, a middle one, and ten squares for the supporters who would rather give $50 once.
A fuller table
- 10 squares at $5 ($50)
- 10 squares at $10 ($100)
- 10 squares at $20 ($200)
- 5 squares at $25 ($125)
- 5 squares at $50 ($250)
40 squares, $725 if every one is taken.
Five amounts, so a neighbor can give $5 and a grandparent can give $50 from the same sheet. This is the point where a table is easier than three boxes.
How to pick a mix that works
- Build a sheet that adds up to more than you need. A sheet only reaches its total if every square is taken, and most sheets do not fill. If you need $1,000, make the total more than $1,000. The fundraising calculator shows what 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent taken would leave you with.
- Put most of the squares where most of your supporters are. Most people will give a small amount, so most squares should be small. The large squares are for the few who want to do more, and they only help if somebody takes them.
- Keep it to three to five amounts. A supporter should see the pattern at a glance. Ten amounts is the most a mix takes, and few sheets need it.
- Remember the sheet is cheapest first. Square 1 is the smallest amount and the last square is the largest, so a supporter looking for a $20 square finds the $20s together.
- Let people combine squares. One supporter can pick up to 8 squares in one gift and send one payment for the total. A family that wants to give $100 can take two $50 squares, or a $50 square and five $10 squares.
- A big square is a bigger gift, nothing more. There are no prizes, drawings or winners on a Playbook Logix sheet, and we do not allow them. A square is a way to choose an amount.
The same sheet, just not in a straight line
Supporters see numbered squares, each showing its amount. They tap the ones they want and press Hold, and those squares are held for them until they tap "I sent it" or you release them. Nobody else can pick a held square. When the money reaches you, you press "I got it" and the square counts toward your total.
None of that changes with a mix. The how it works page walks through it, and the choose-a-square page lets you try each step on a demo sheet.
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 two or three amounts and a mix of amounts?
They make the same kind of sheet. "Two or three amounts" has three lines and is the quick way to get small, medium and large squares. "A mix of amounts" has up to ten lines for when you want more control. Pick the one with the number of lines you need.
In what order do the squares appear?
Cheapest first. Square 1 is your smallest amount and the last square is your largest, whatever order you typed the lines in.
Can two lines have the same amount?
Yes. Both lines make squares at that amount, so the sheet has all of them. It is usually simpler to put them on one line.
What are the limits?
A sheet needs from 5 to 100 squares in all, and each square can be from $1 to $1,000. The whole sheet can add up to as much as $100,000. "Two or three amounts" takes three different amounts and "A mix of amounts" takes up to ten.
What happens if I fill in only half of a line?
The setup screen asks for both the amount and how many squares, or for the line to be left empty. It never guesses what you meant.
Can I make a sheet with only one amount?
Yes, choose "Same amount on every square" for that. A mix needs at least two amounts.
