Fundraisers that are actually fun.

The Who

TournaFund is being built for organizations seeking fun ways to raise funds for a cause, including 501(c)(3) and other organizations typically identified as nonprofits and certain political action or campaign committees.

If your organization provides or promotes human services, education, arts and culture, health, environmental welfare, youth development, civil rights and advocacy, or community development, TournaFund may be the right platform for you to raise funds while having fun. Join the waitlist for updates and an invitation to create an account when the platform is launched.

The developer of TournaFund has over a decade of experience raising funds for nonprofit organizations.

The What

Galas, auctions, cocktail hours, rubber chickens… they all have their place in the development plan for your organization. That doesn’t mean that this is the only way to engage with your supporters and many of your current or potential donors might not be so excited about attending yet another function where they have to dress up to go sit down to the yet another catered three-course meal your budget will allow for while halfway listening to the guest speakers and award presentations in your program.

What if you hosted opportunities for your supporters to actually have fun while raising funds for your cause? What if you could actually leverage your supporters to bring others to your event?

The vision of TournaFund is to empower nonprofit organizations to raise funds by hosting team-based events, like bowling, kickball, softball tournaments, and more. We will do this by providing an easy-to-use platform for adding your organization, creating events, and publicizing your event using email, SMS, and social media. Your supporters will be able to easily sign up to existing teams, create their own teams, and invite others to join. Real-time dashboards will keep you informed about how well sign-ups for your event are going and how much you are raising. Data exports will allow you to quickly create your own reports or upload to your preferred reporting or CRM platforms.

If this sounds like something you want in your fundraising and development toolkit, join the waitlist.

The How

Here’s how TournaFund works:

Join the waitlist for development updates and an invitation to create a TournaFund account when the platform launches.
Create a free TournaFund account.
Apply to have your organization use TournaFund at no cost.
Once approved, upload contacts for email and SMS marketing.
Create your first event by setting a date, time, purpose, maximum number of teams and participants, and minimum donation amount to participate. When ready, publish your event. There is no charge for publishing events.
With the help of AI, promote your event via email, SMS, and social media.
Participants sign up using your public event page, and invite others to sign up via social media.
Track event sign-ups and donations using the event dashboard.
Host your event.
Receive a payout for your organization’s portion* of participant donations.
Yes, we said portion. TournaFund is free for you to create an account, add organizations, and publish events. We want to eliminate any hurdle that may cause you not to use TournaFund to organize your event, including financial. That’s why we only accept payment for you to use TournaFund after you’ve hosted your event. We’ll keep just 15% of all funds donated (including transaction fees) and $10 per sponsor added to your event (plus transaction fees, if applicable) and send you the remaining amount of donations and sponsorships. As you can see, we’re only successful if you’re successful.
