I tried to search the forum but couldn't find the answers to this.
1) How much does Snap Raise take in fees? I couldn't locate their fee structure.
2) Will it allow you to see how much each athlete raised?
3) How does it compare with Hudl campaigns for those that have used both? I know Hudl campaigns are supposedly going away but we still have the option of using it as of right now. I know their fees are pretty low but does it work as well?
4) Are there better alternatives to Snap Raise that work in a similar fashion?
Thanks in advance!

I also would love some information from someone who has used this service. I was thinking about starting a gofundme, but that feels like begging!

i havent sat down and met with the guy
your % back can change, it is based on how many kids you have participate and their level of participation
the guy bugs me, texts me all the time about meeting which is a bit annoying
but he did guarantee we would make more than what we made last year through a different company
if you guys do it post on here how it goes we usually do this type of fundraiser in august

I looked into them last year but couldn't get anyone to talk to me. IIRC the percentage is a sliding scale, the more you make the less they take. Yes the have a dashboard where you can look at donations from each player's contacts. I liked their stuff and would have used them over Hudl Campaign if they would have worked with me.

A lot of people have said they're getting rid of it, but it's still on our account. When I asked support about it they said if it's still up then we have it available.

I used snap raise two years ago and everything was good except it took forever to get the rewards for the ones who raised the most in. They had are School address wrong or something and I think my rep had quit. We did it in August and it was like May before we finally got the stuff. Our soccer teams did it this year and did ok with it. I would use it again and just maybe not offer the rewards they offered and do my own maybe.

We made 18k year 1 and 15k last year and it's the easiest thing we have ever done. It allows you to see how much each athlete has raised as well as who sponsored the athlete. You can also check to see if the athlete has sent out enough emails to potential sponsors. Fee structure is a sliding scale based on the number of athletes who have received contributions. It may be an 80/20 split??

well, we met with our local rep
he was pretty convincing and GUARANTEED that we would make more than we did with another company
the biggest factors -Our HC loved that you can track the emails and who has done what/has opened what -our track team used them and has made 5k, and our cheer team just started and has 2k in less than 2 weeks and i KNOW we have WAY more kids than them
so i feel like we can get at least the 5k that track raised, which would be more than we had through different companies

Used these guys last year and was not happy. they guaranteed me 75% but that was only if EVERY player got an email so even though I had way more emails go out then what would have been 75% of my team I only received 70% because not every team member sent out emails. Then it took over a month to get me my check even though the rep had texted me 3 different times saying he was on his way with the check. Then the guy wanted to make excuses and argue with me when I told him to mail the check. I will go back to e-team sponsors even though I won't get as big of a cut they don't BS and nickel and dime me.

SnapRaise charges 25%. I'm a sports fundraising coach and I can help your team raise money on my company's platform, at a cheaper rate than SnapRaise. The money is available to you to deposit to your bank account instantly. We've been serving the nonprofit sector but recently decided to focus on sports teams as we have helped few exceed their target with little effort on their part. You can start by taking my FREE email course at www.giv2team.com (Give2Team is a product of CauseSquare). And if you decide you need my service after taking this course feel free to be in touch and I will be glad to assist you (you'll learn a great deal from this course).

Our platform enables organizations full control of all online fundraising efforts fortified by consolidated reporting provided by donasity on an on-demand basis and unlike most offerings we charge the donors a small 4.95% transaction fee that covers all costs - your organizations pays nothing to utilize the platform.
Some of our key features are:

Glad to help any organization or school that is tried of all the fees. Our platform works.

Try www.Fund-Team.com as an alternative to Snap Raise. They only take 5%. You can see how much each team member raises and you get the money immediately rather than being held for however long.

Hopefully I can help here. We have a few guys out here that started an alternative to snap raise. Snap raise takes a bunch of fees on the back end if you don't have enough kids participate/other BS fees. Blast Athletics is the company we've used. They're up front about the fees and have a really cool model where the people who donate actually get an account on their website where they can follow your team and get updates throughout the season. Really Effective. They raised something like $35K for a team out here. www.blastathletics.com/

We're currently using snap raise. The only thing we don't like is our kids did not take advantage of it. If they would have put in their emails it would have turned out a lot better. So it was on us, not the company. We still got close to 5k. I believe if you get 70% participation you get 77% of profits. Without you get 70% profit. It's been easy for us because there is very little work for us coaches to do.

Hey all. I'm a co-founder of a competing platform called FanAngel (www.fanangel.com). Happy to answer any questions. We've had a lot of teams switch to us and had excellent results (happy to supply URLs). We've been around a couple years but switched to working with HS back in Dec 2017.
As for the initial question, my understanding is that Snap's initial fee is 23%. If you don't meet their participation requirements, they take 30% instead. They also offer the kids incentives (shirts, hats, etc.), for which the costs of those items also come out of your funds...so it's 23% or 30% plus incentive costs.
I apologize for the following bullets (shameless plug), but hopefully, it will help some compare to our platform:
* FanAngel fees: 7% + credit cards * Extensive tracking of every athlete (every email/text sent, opened, clicked, donated...) * Extensive automated reminders to donors and athletes * Optional Direct Donations, where funds go straight to your booster or ASB account (or opt for a check...many schools require a check) * No incentives -- but with the tracking, you can offer them yourself * No onsite visit -- we help remotely and pass the savings to you * A remote representative will help you with templates for parent email/letter, video script, checklist, etc.

We used Blast Athletics for my daughter's volleyball team last year after using Snap Raise before that. We made more money bc they don't take as much of a cut as snap raise. The people that donate to the kids get updates with pics and videos of the games and everything, so that's great too. All around it was a better experience than snap
