What is a Fill My Football Fundraiser?

Introducing the Fill My Football Fundraiser

Fill My Football is an interactive online digital fundraiser for football teams and clubs in which participants try to get a donation for each space on their football. Each football has 30 spaces, and the donation amounts vary from $5 to $100, totaling $740 – helping you raise money for new new helmets, pads, jerseys, travel or field upkeep.

A Fun, Interactive Fundraising Option for all Football Teams

Everything you need to know about running a fill my fundraiser.

  • Youth & Middle School: Rosters of 20–35, and parents are already used to selling something. This one runs itself compared to a concession stand, because the players share their own link and you're not coordinating shifts.
  • High school: Where most programs land. A 40–50 player roster filling most of a football covers a helmet reconditioning cycle or a set of travel expenses without going back to the same twenty families you hit last season.
  • College club & small programs: Large rosters usually mean spreadsheet chaos. Participant groups let you split by position or class year and see who's actually moving.

Ideal timing for a Fill My Football fundraiser is either right before the season (Late July or August), during pre-season, while anticipation and excitement for the season is growing and support is high, or towards the end of a successful season or playoff push when momentum is high. Even the offseason in the spring can be highly successful to fund expenses for the upcoming year.

Usually, anywhere from a 2-4 week window works best –a short and organized campaign is more effective than a long one. Give it a clear end date.

Book a demo, get your sign-up link, then create your fundraiser and add your roster — Teamfi generates a donation page for each player automatically. A 45-man varsity roster sets up just as fast as a 20-man middle school squad. A few things worth considering:

  • A team meeting or message could be a good way to introduce the fundraiser.
  • Group by position or grade to stay organized, or to run offense against defense.
  • Let the booster president or an assistant coach own it.

Football fundraising usually means discount cards or a liftathon — both work, and both are what every family has done for three seasons running.

This one is a football. Players watch their shape fill in with their name on it, and so do donors. That lands differently than a coupon book, especially for the participant who hates asking.

It also runs alongside the season instead of interrupting it. No lift day to schedule, no cards to count back in. Launch in August and it works while the team practices.

Fill My Football Fundraiser FAQs

Still Have Questions? 

No problem, here are the answers to all the most frequently asked questions we get about Teamfi Fill My Football Fundraisers

How do the digital Fill My Football donations work — can someone claim more than one space?

Yes. A donor can claim as many spaces as they want, and their name shows on each one they take (if they choose to leave their name). They can also give a custom amount outside the $5–$100 range if they'd rather. Every donation goes straight to your account through Stripe, so there's no cash to collect or checks to deposit – all football spaces and custom donations are automatically tracked in real time on your Teamfi fundraiser dashboard.

Can we run a Fill My Football alongside our liftathon, calendar, or crowdfunding fundraiser?

You can, though most families give once a season — running two at the same time often means getting half of each. Many football teams decide to run a Fill My Football fundraiser in the opposite part of the football calendar as one of the other digital fundraising options like pick-a-date calendar fundraisers, lift-a-thons, or crowdfunding campaigns.

For example, if your football team runs a crowdfunding campaign in the fall during the season, a Fill My Football fundraiser could be the perfect option during the spring practice period or during 7-on-7 season.

When should we run a Fill My Football fundraiser?

Late July through August tends to work well — preseason, when the roster is together most days and anticipation for the season is high. Additionally, the end of a strong season or a playoff run is a good second window because support can be at an all-time high for your football team.

In any case, most fill my football fundraisers can find success in just a 2–4 week campaign – leaving your team will plenty of funds for new alternate uniforms, sports tech to help you on the football field, or anything else.

What happens if some of the players on our football team don't participate?

That is no problem at all – nothing breaks. Your team's fundraiser total is just the sum of what each player raises, so there's no threshold to hit and partial participation still works. North Miami Senior High raised $8,090 with 41 active players. Grouping participants by position or grade makes it easy to see which units are moving and where a nudge would help.

One way to increase participation is to offer an incentive for funds raised – like a free t-shirt or pizza party – Lexington Christian Football in Lexington, Kentucky even incentivized their players to participate by offering free team-customized gloves. The result? they raised over $40,000.

How do out-of-town family members donate to our Fill My Football?

This is the beauty of running a Fill My Football fundraiser with Teamfi – it's all digital! 

To donate, all anyone needs to do is tap the player's link and claim a space from wherever they are. A lot of football's donor base is grandparents, aunts, and uncles following the season from a few states away — the group a paper fundraiser usually can't reach. Players can share their link by text or social in one tap. The best part? If your football team is using Teamfi's free automated donor outreach feature, the work is done for you!
