Best fundraising apps for sports teams in 2026

There is no single best app. Each one is built around a different kind of fundraiser, and the right pick is the one that fits yours. This guide covers seven platforms that teams use, and every fact comes from the company’s own page, read November 8, 2026.

Donors pay differently on each one:

Wallets means Apple Pay and Google Pay. Ways to give come from each company’s own help or product pages, read November 9, 2026. FundMyClub takes PayPal and Venmo on one-time gifts once the team links its bank.

FundMyClub is our product, and it is not the best pick for a raffle, an a-thon or the lowest cost per gift. It is built for one thing: a team page where supporters can give at a merch level and get gear with the team’s logo, without the team buying or handing out stock.

This is what the team keeps from one card gift with no donor tip, at each company’s published rate.

Fees are rounded to the nearest cent, half a cent up, and the team keeps the rest. Snap! Raise is its help center’s “keep 80%”; its pricing page says a Snap! rep tailors pricing to each program. Givebutter with tips off assumes the team absorbs the fees, and with tips on its guarantee is written for nonprofits. RallyUp’s Free plan is shown at 2.9% processing; where the processor charges 1.9%, the team keeps 25¢ to $1 more. Vertical Raise’s terms say its fee is set in each contract and kept confidential. GoFundMe, 99Pledges, RallyUp’s Free plan and Givebutter with tips on ask donors for a tip, paid on top of the gift. The full breakdown is in team fundraising fees compared.

• Who can sign up. Some platforms serve registered organizations only, and some fee terms apply only to nonprofits.
• What the team keeps from a typical gift. Compare at $25, $50 and $100, not only the headline rate.
• What the donor sees. A tip line or a fee to cover changes what supporters pay. Our post on donor tips at checkout explains it.
• Cash and checks. 99Pledges says it tracks cash and checks for free and the team keeps all of them.
• Who does the work. A rep or coach from the company does part of a full-service campaign; on a self-serve page the team runs it, though some, like 99Pledges, say they do the setup.

Snap! Raise

A campaign set up with a local rep; its pricing page says teams can raise what they need “in just 28 days.” Its help center says partners keep 80% of the total and that any IRS-registered organization can run one. A coach cannot start one alone online: the help center says a local rep helps set it up.

99Pledges

Pledge drives and a-thons for U.S. schools and teams, with no platform fee and a 3.49% + 49¢ transaction fee per donation. Its terms say a partner that runs the event with you may charge up to 15% for its services, so ask who your partner is.

GoFundMe

Crowdfunding pages with no platform fee and 2.9% + 30¢ per donation in the U.S. Donors are offered an optional tip, and recurring donors pay a 5% fee. Its team feature lets members help post updates, thank donors and share the fundraiser.

RallyUp

Event and campaign tools: raffles, auctions, ticketing, a-thons and crowdfunding. Its Free plan has no platform fee and asks donors for a tip; its Flex plan charges 2.9% to 6.9% by activity.

Givebutter

A fundraising platform for organizations, with a free CRM for donor records. With tips on, its pricing page says nonprofits pay no platform or processing fees. With tips off, it charges 3% plus processing. Its Plus plan, from $29 a month, is optional.

Vertical Raise

Fundraising with a coach who builds the team’s page, in formats from donation campaigns to discount cards, popcorn sales, a-thons and fun runs. Its fee is not published, and its terms let it keep all of a fundraiser that raises less than $150 in total.

• Free to start. No setup or monthly fee.
• Fees. 10% platform fee plus 5% payment processing on each gift. A team keeps $85 of a $100 gift.
• No tip. Supporters are never asked for a tip.
• Gifts. Supporters give $5 to $25,000 by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Cash App Pay, and by PayPal or Venmo on one-time gifts once the team links its bank.
• Merch. Gifts at merch levels come with gear printed with the team’s logo and shipped to the supporter. Its cost comes out of the gift that earned it, so the team never pays upfront.
• Payouts. Through Stripe to the bank account the team links.
• Players. Every player gets their own link to the team goal, with first name and last initial on public pages.
