Fundraising is a crucial part of supporting Australian sports teams, whether they’re playing at the junior, senior, or rep level. When it comes to team fundraising, parents and supporters are constantly seeking ways to cover costs like travel, gear, and training. RepRaiser offers a unique solution, combining traditional raffle fundraising with digital convenience, so teams can raise funds effectively while focusing on what matters most: supporting each athlete’s journey.
Why Team Fundraising is Essential in Australia
For Australian sports teams, covering expenses is often a community effort. Unlike individual fundraising, team fundraising spreads the costs across all team members, ensuring every athlete can participate without financial barriers. Team fundraising helps families come together to support each other and make team events, tournaments, and training more affordable.
How RepRaiser Makes Team Fundraising Easy and Effective
RepRaiser is a tailored platform for Australian sports teams looking to raise funds. By using RepRaiser, teams can create group campaigns where each athlete has their own link. Families, friends, and community members can then purchase raffle tickets, with a portion of each sale directly supporting the team’s expenses.
Key Features of RepRaiser for Team Fundraising:
- Individual Campaign Links for Each Athlete: Every team member receives a unique link, ensuring that funds raised go directly to each athlete.
- Raffle-Based Fundraising: Raffles are a popular fundraising method in Australia. RepRaiser’s platform makes it easy to set up raffles and sell tickets online, so teams can reach supporters across the country.
- Transparency and Ease: Families can feel confident that 50% of each ticket sale supports the team directly, while the other 50% covers operational costs.
Steps to Launch a Team Fundraising Campaign with RepRaiser
- Sign Up and Set Up the Team Campaign: Getting started is quick and easy. Teams can sign up and create a group campaign in just a few steps. Once the campaign is set up, each player receives a unique link for ticket sales.
- Share Across the Team’s Network: Sharing is key to reaching fundraising goals. Families, friends, and local supporters can be reached by sharing the link on social media, through email, and via community groups.
- Stay Engaged with Updates and Thanks: Team fundraising benefits from regular engagement. Posting updates about the team’s progress, thanking supporters, and sharing achievements can help maintain excitement and encourage continued support.

Why Raffles Are Perfect for Team Fundraising in Australia
Raffles are a time-honoured tradition in Australia, offering a chance to win while supporting a great cause. RepRaiser enhances this approach with a user-friendly online platform, allowing teams to reach more supporters than ever before. Here’s why raffles work so well for team fundraising:
- Attractive to Supporters: People love a good raffle, especially when it supports a local team. RepRaiser’s platform makes it easy to purchase tickets, which means more people are likely to participate.
- Easy to Share and Promote: The digital nature of RepRaiser’s raffle link means families and team supporters can share it widely on social media and other digital channels. More visibility means more ticket sales and faster fundraising.
- Seamless for Busy Families: Managing a traditional raffle can be time-consuming. RepRaiser simplifies the process by handling operational aspects like permits, prize distribution, and transaction management, allowing families to focus on cheering for their team.
Tips for Maximising Team Fundraising with RepRaiser
To make the most of your team fundraising campaign, here are some additional tips for success:
- Use Social Media to Your Advantage: Share the team’s RepRaiser link on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Families can help spread the word by posting updates about team progress, upcoming tournaments, and other events that will get supporters excited.
- Encourage Team Spirit and Friendly Competition: A little friendly competition between team members can boost motivation and help reach the fundraising goal faster. Families can see who raises the most and celebrate individual contributions.
- Involve Local Businesses and Community Groups: Reach out to local businesses or community groups to support your team campaign. Businesses often enjoy being part of community initiatives, and many will gladly share your link or provide prizes for your raffle.

Our Values
The main benefit of creating our social enterprise later in life (we are all founders in our forties), is we have both business and life experience. We strongly believe a healthy culture is based on a purposeful and practiced set of values. Our very first action was to create a meaningful set of values to guide every decision we make.
We recruit staff and key partners who share these principles and compliment our culture.
Show Kindness
Simple!……Kindness is expected! It starts with being kind to ourselves and the rest is duck soup.
Our Better Selves
Our own physical and emotional wellbeing is a priority. We are better able to benefit and enrich the lives of others, when we are our better selves.
Community
Strengthen and support one another. We are pleased to support volunteers who are making differences in their communities, and we are grateful for their support in return. We are all in this together!
Appreciate Our Differences
The key to ‘getting along’ is accepting we are, and will always be different from one another. In fact, we think these differences are to be embraced.
Own It!
Our lives are shaped by the choices we make. We can’t control everything, but we should be expected to take resposibilty for our own decisions.
Let’s Play!
The time we spend at work should be enjoyable, memorable, rewarding and motivating. Work hard at having fun!
