These may be a few groups that are looking for a specific set of traits that Leading Edge Fundraising can provide.
A high school baseball team is looking to raise money for a batting cage in their gym.
This team has run a cookie dough fundraiser the previous year, but found the results to be lackluster. They found many people wish to donate, but they would much rather make a straightforward donation rather than purchasing an item that splits up some of the revenue.
They are looking for an alternative to product sales that allows them to minimize fees and maximize their take home.
This would be a great example of Teamfi being the correct choice for fundraising. Teamfi ensures that more of each donor's dollar is going towards fundraising.
A middle school choir has run multiple successful discount card fundraisers in their previous years, but they do not have any digital discount options. The community enjoys these discount cards, and the choir has built a successful rapport with these sales year over year.
Leading Edge Fundraising offers fully digital and physical services that will allow this choir to continue their discount card sales as well as provide digital options to broaden their fundraising potential.
This would be an example of Leading Edge Fundraising being the correct choice for your organization.

Pricing clarity is a leading factor for most organizations when it comes to fundraising. Teamfi has a fully transparent pricing structure that ensures you walk away with as much of your fundraiser as possible. Platforms such as Leading Edge Fundraising do not publicly list their pricing structure. This often means in order to discover what you will walk away with requires discussions with sales representatives and contracts/agreements.
Fundraising decisions are often made quickly, especially for athletic programs, booster clubs, and activity groups operating on tight timelines. When pricing is clear:
If understanding the take-home revenue requires a scheduled sales call or custom registration, asking for the exact platform percentage and how product margins impact the final total is an additional required step.
At the end of the day, the most important number is not what a program raises. It is what the program keeps
Let’s take a look at how the pricing structures of Teamfi and Leading Edge Fundraising compare.
Teamfi has no platform fees, meaning the only fee you will face with Teamfi is standard credit card processing fees. These fees of 2.9% +$0.30 a donation leave you with an average of 96.5% of your total donations after you close out your fundraiser.
With Leading Edge Fundraising because their pricing is not listed it leaves you to guess based on industry standards what you may potentially walk away with. For many platforms with similar fundraising models fees can range anywhere from 10-30% of your total donations raised.
Product and service sales tend to have even higher revenue splits often ranging around 50% to cover product and logistics costs.
