The youth basketball fundraising problem

Tournament fees, uniforms, and travel pile up. The same parents end up running every fundraiser.

Youth basketball programs need money for tournament registration, referee fees, travel, and gym time. The typical answer is product sales or a single event that burns out the same booster club parents every season.

MonthFund gives every player on the roster a defined role. Each player shares their own 31-day calendar with their personal network. Their fans and family claim days. The team fills the month together without any single parent running the whole thing.

The model

31 days. Every player a fundraiser.

01

Set up the campaign and invite the roster

The coach or booster club creates the campaign in minutes. Each player gets their own calendar page to share with family and fans.

02

Players share; fans claim days

Each player shares their calendar with their personal network. Fans claim a day and give the matching amount. Day 10 is $10. Day 22 is $22. Donors can cover the infrastructure fee at checkout so the program keeps 100%.

03

The team fills the month

When every day is claimed across all player calendars, the team has hit its goal. The calendar is the scoreboard. Progress is public and visible to the whole community.

The math

A full roster month covers tournament fees.

One player, one month$496

A single fully claimed 31-day calendar.

12-player roster$5,952

Twelve players each running one calendar simultaneously. One month, one shared goal.

Two seasons per year$11,904

Run winter and summer AAU. Same model, different month. Predictable funding for travel and equipment.

MonthFund provides structure. Outcomes depend on participation. The model makes them calculable, not guaranteed.

Built for basketball programs

Tools that fit how booster clubs actually work.

Every player is a fundraiser

Each player gets their own shareable calendar link. Their network is your reach.

Public progress board

Families and fans see the team calendar fill in real time. Visible progress drives participation.

Runs alongside other fundraisers

Keep your annual shoot-a-thon or spirit wear store. MonthFund is a parallel digital layer that runs in the same month without competing for the same families.

No products, no inventory

No popcorn to sell. No order forms to reconcile. Donors give a day amount and the program keeps 100% of what they intend to give.

Why it works for basketball

A model the whole roster can own.

Distributed ownership

Every player has a specific role. Claiming a day gives each athlete one manageable piece of the goal.

Built for busy families

Parents do not need to attend a meeting or manage inventory. They share a link, donors claim a day, and the calendar tracks everything.

Repeatable every season

The team learns the model once. Winter season or summer AAU, the structure stays the same.

FAQ

Questions from basketball booster clubs

Can AAU and high school teams both use MonthFund?

Yes. MonthFund works for any size basketball program, from local AAU leagues to competitive high school teams. The organizer sets up the campaign and invites players as fundraisers.

Does the program need a 501(c)(3)?

No. MonthFund is available to school booster clubs, parent organizations, and community basketball programs regardless of tax status.

Can we run this alongside our annual shoot-a-thon?
