Free Fill My Football Fundraiser Template

An Easy Way to Fundraise For Your Football Team

In a series of interviews with 14 different NCAA Division II administrators, researchers with the University of Illinois and Marquette University found that even in the college ranks, fundraising from both private sources and public through organized team crowdfunding was essential.

Donor fatigue was a huge hurdle hitting programs.

“It is not uncommon for individuals to have multiple philanthropic interests. Athletic fundraisers are vying for these philanthropic dollars in a crowded market (i.e., competition). As individuals and families show a willingness to give, other non-profits in a community may ask for similar support, and this can lead to donor fatigue.”

To combat this, programs have gotten creative. Incentivization to donate, yes, but fundraiser variety matters. Sometimes you’ve got to switch things up. Whether you’re a college coach, high school or youth coach, team parent, or just one of the many important cogs helping to run your program, we’re here to help with our free Fill My Football fundraiser template.

What is a Fill My Football Fundraiser?

A simple twist on our breakthrough Fill My Bow fundraiser that has been super popular with cheer teams, a Fill My Football fundraiser is as simple as it sounds.

Each football graphic has small dollar amounts, $10 to $50, with donors picking and signing any open amount they want to “fill in the football.” It’s visual, easy to track, and super effective.

Fundraisers like Fill My Football also have the added benefit of involving the athletes themselves. When players hand out their sheets, explain the cause, and personally thank supporters, it strengthens their communication skills and sense of ownership in the process. It's a low-pressure way to teach young athletes about accountability and community support. It becomes less about sales and more about team pride.

Football programs at every level, whether it’s middle school, JV, varsity, or college, face constant financial pressure. The cost of travel, safety equipment, and even things like team meals or pre-game warmups adds up quickly. While booster clubs and gate revenue help, they often fall short of covering everything. That’s where creative, community-driven fundraising can fill the gap. It raises money and gives families and fans a simple way to show their support.
