31 Days. 31 Ways. How a Baseball Calendar Fundraiser Can Change Your Program (+ Free Template)

The idea? A Teamfi calendar is a unique way of fundraising where fundraiser participants ask donors to fill their calendar. The 1st of the month is a dollar donation, the second of the month is a two-dollar donation, and so on until you hit the 31st day of the month.

Supporters “sponsor” their chosen dates on our online fundraising calendar or on a baseball-themed printed template, and the organization collects up to $496 when the calendar fills. If a fundraiser participant fills their calendar, they are always welcome to do another if they want to keep fundraising. The format is quick to launch, easy for donors to understand, and visually motivating for teams tracking progress in real time.

Filling an entire Baseball Calendar Fundraiser grid raises $496 for your program—a simple, visual way to bring in money. We'll send you the ready-to-print template for free, just drop your email below!

Now that you’re up to speed on baseball calendar fundraisers and what they are, here’s a fun twist that you can do while fundraising. You can run baseball calendar fundraisers without it, this is just a way to have some fun while doing it. You can have your players answer 31 questions about baseball, and as donors claim dates on the calendar, they’ll learn something new about each athlete at the end of the fundraiser that you can share at the end of the fundraiser on your team’s website or social media.
