Fundraising has always fueled programs, but traditional methods—like car washes and raffle tickets—take time, planning, and face-to-face effort. Today, Gold Athletics’ digital fundraising app makes raising money faster, easier, and more sustainable.

Why Teams Are Going Digital 

If you’ve ever planned an in-person fundraiser, you know the intensive hours and effort needed leading up to the one-day event. With our digital fundraising app, many of our teams have found that they can put in the same amount of effort but manage their time more efficiently.

What is digital fundraising? Digital fundraising uses online platforms and apps to raise money instead of traditional methods like car washes or paper sales. With our teams, online fundraising is driving more success. Players can fundraise anywhere and at any time, and coaches are able to spend more time on the team and less time on the fundraiser. 


The Gold Athletics App also provides live progress tracking for players and coaches to see how they are doing throughout the fundraiser. And, even better, teams can instantly see when they achieve their goal.

 

Why is a digital fundraising app better? It saves time, offers live tracking, and makes donating easy for supporters–while reducing paper waste. 


Gold Athletics’ Fundraising Tools Drive Success

At Gold Athletics, our teams have all the tools at their disposal. Wondering how to run a digital fundraiser? Look no further: 

  • The Gold Athletics App: From the launch of your fundraiser to Blitz Day, you can track and share your fundraiser throughout its duration using our app. 

  • Automated Text Reminders: Send follow-ups directly to supporters until they donate, encouraging people to support our teams. 

  • Seamless Payments: Our app offers a seamless, quick, and secure payment process with no hidden fees.

  • Real-Time Analytics: Coaches can see participation and live results on the app.

The Power of Community & Merchants

Community has always been at the forefront of success for teams with our fundraisers. Our digital offers get small and growing local businesses involved in their community with online fundraising for schools. 


The tech industry has consistently given more promotions to businesses, and that is no different with our digital fundraisers. Businesses continue to be seen, get repeat customers, and see loyalty to their brands after fundraisers end. 


With merchants, it’s always a win-win situation. The more merchants who join the app, the more valuable the Gold Card or ticket becomes for supporters. 

Player & Coach Experience

What makes the experience seamless for players? With the younger generation being equipped with technology, they are able to simplify their outreach by sending texts, emails, and promoting their team's fundraiser on their social media. 


For the coaches, they don’t have to be in their players' ears about keeping up with fundraising every day. As they are still administering the fundraiser, they can rely on the Gold Athletics App as a fundraising platform for their teams while they put their attention on coaching. This was seen with GNBVT Girls’ Soccer team, which we highlighted on social media for Testimonial Tuesday.

Supporter Benefits on GoldDeals+

In any fundraiser, success is seen with the more supporters you get. Our app allows for an easy donation process. With just a click of a button, supporters can instantly donate and get access to digital deals and exclusive discounts through the GoldDeals+ app. 


Not only that, but all of the national and local offers are located in one place. The app serves as a home base, with everything supporters need to know about the fundraiser being available at their fingertips.
