Fundraising without raffles or cake sales
Every team needs funds, but few parents want to run another raffle or cake sale. With Sideline Spons supporters pledge an amount per goal and per win, and the team skips stock, lists and cash.
Nothing to sell
Nothing to bake, order, collect or deliver. The team sets up Spons in a few minutes and shares a link or team code with family and friends.
Less work for the team manager
The team manager enters the result after the match. Spons works out what each supporter owes, sends reminders and shows who has paid.
The money goes straight to the team
Spons costs a fixed monthly price per group and takes no share of what the team raises. Supporters pay straight into the team's own account.
