Free Printable 31-Day Fundraiser Sheet for Any Month

It is a page of squares, one for each day of a month, each worth as many dollars as its number. The 1st is $1, the 15th is $15 and the 31st is $31. A supporter picks a day, writes their name on it and gives that many dollars. When every day is taken, a 31-day month has raised $496.

Teams like it because the ask is small and easy to say yes to. “Would you take the 12th?” is a question a neighbor can answer on the spot, and a sheet that is slowly filling up on the clipboard is a reminder to everyone who walks past it.

Calendar or list?

The calendar looks like the one on the wall, with the 1st under the right day of the week, so it is easy to photograph and post. Each square has a line for a name, and people usually cross out the day they took. The list gives every day a row with a line for the name and a Paid box, which suits a clipboard that someone is going to total at the end.

Bonus days

A bonus day is an extra square worth an amount you choose. Use two or three at $25 for the people who would rather give more, or at $5 to fill the last squares near the end. On the calendar they take the empty squares before the 1st and after the last day, so the page still looks full.

How to run the paper version

• Fill in the top. Put your team or player, what the money is for and a last day to give. A sheet with no reason on it asks people to guess.
• Write down how to pay. Add the Venmo username, Cash App cashtag, Zelle or PayPal address, and who a check goes to. Leave out any you do not use.
• Print it and put it where families are. Beside the sign-in table, in the concession stand, on the coach's clipboard. Print a few so each family can take one to a relative or a neighbor.
• Mark a day only when you have the money. A name on a day is a promise. A check mark in the Paid box, or an X through the square, is cash in hand or a payment you have seen arrive.
• Add it up at the end. The line at the bottom is for the total collected, so the sheet is its own record.

Getting the whole sheet taken

Ask for the big days first. Take the $25 to $31 days to three or four people you are sure will say yes before the sheet goes anywhere else, so it already looks busy. Name the day when you ask, set a last day to give, and thank people as their payment arrives. Teams that do those three things tend to fill far more of the sheet than teams that just leave it out.

The problem with paper

Paper sheets get double-booked, go home in someone's bag and have to be totaled by hand. Two people want the same day and nobody knows who wrote first. A grandparent two states away cannot reach the clipboard at all.

The same sheet works as a link. Supporters pick a day from their phone, the days that are taken show as taken for everyone, and you confirm each gift as it arrives in your payment app. There is no fee, because the money goes straight to you and never through us.
