Many districts are facing tighter-than-ever budget deficiencies that threaten the quality and future of their athletic programs. Juggling numerous competing priorities with insufficient funding can be incredibly stressful. However, Snap! Mobile has a variety of innovative solutions available to help bridge these budget gaps:

Industry-leading fundraising platform

Snap! Raise is an industry-leading online fundraising platform that guarantees programs will raise the same or more than their previous fundraiser*. While some competitors advertise free fundraising tools, the truth is you get what you pay for. Snap! Raise’s proven outreach process, dedicated fundraising reps, support team, and commitment to student and donor privacy delivers value that goes beyond price. For more details, check out our blog on The Cost Of Free Fundraising.

Beyond fundraising: Strategies for Athletic Directors to enhance funds even further

Snap! Raise goes beyond running fundraising campaigns by partnering with athletic directors to deliver a customized partnership package to help strengthen your budget even more. When you partner with Snap! Raise as your exclusive online fundraising provider, we tailor agreements to meet your organization’s needs and offer perks such as discounts on service fees, a custom-branded app for your school (FanX), or administrative products to streamline your backoffice (Snap! Manage, Snap! Insights). This partnership is the ultimate way to raise more, save more, and meet your department’s specific needs.

Here’s what one AD had to say about the outcome of his exclusive partnership with Snap! Mobile:
“My school certified business official… calls me and says, ‘Steve, why do we have an extra 30 or 40 thousand dollars this year?’ And I said, well, it’s because we fundraised [with Snap! Raise].”

– Steve Lucas, Athletic Director at Plano High School, IL

Take your sponsorship game to the next level

Sponsors can play a critical role in the financial health of your athletic program. FanX is a custom-branded app for your school that not only centralizes your athletic and activity event information but is also designed to provide opportunities for interaction between sponsors and the community.

Sponsors love being aligned with your brand. The FanX platform houses a variety of unique sponsor opportunities throughout the app. The sponsor inventory includes static ad opportunities, clickable placements to drive user traffic to sponsor sites, brand awareness for sponsors with digital signage, and more.

For example, you can engage app users with a gameday-sponsored promotion for a discount for pizza after the game. Our team collects insightful data that you can then share with sponsors to measure the effectiveness and engagement experienced with their sponsored placements. Discover what sponsors love about FanX in our blog 3 Things Your Sponsors Will Love About FanX.
