Greetings Coach,
Over the years, we’ve heard from coaches about the need for additional fundraising opportunities to help support your esports programs. MHSEL has been hard at work searching for options to meet this need and we believe we’ve found the perfect solution!
We are pleased to announce that we will be working with Fundraising Solutions Group (FSG) to help local scholastic esports programs quickly raise all the funds
they need. FSG provides a high-value incentive to give; delivered on a 21st-century digital platform; making players, parents and supporters happy to participate and give to your program!
The following is a brief overview of why so many teams are choosing to use the FSG platform to achieve or exceed their fundraising goals:
WHAT MAKES THE FSG FUNDRAISER A WIN-WIN-WIN?
FAST - IN AS LITTLE TIME AS 1-HOUR
FSG works with schools from across the country to raise all the funds quickly & easily; believing fundraising should be fast, we recommend all teams run what is called a POWER HOUR. This is a terrific way to jump-start or meet your fundraising goal. Fundraisers can last as little time as 1-hour to several months. It is all based on the team’s commitment.
SAFE - NO DOOR-TO-DOOR SELLING OR DELIVERY, NO MONEY COLLECTING
Utilizing the FSG customized digital dashboard provides teams a fast, easy, sustainable and safe way for participants to reach out to family and friends nationwide.
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE - SUPPORTERS ARE HAPPY TO DONATE
Every person who donates receives a 1-year membership to a high-value savings app. Exclusive savings of up to 50% off at over 1.6 million top-tier retailers nationwide, (think of it as a new version of the old coupon books on steroids). They also receive a $100 hotel voucher and if they share the fundraising opportunity with just 2 people they earn an additional $150 hotel voucher, significantly magnifying your supporter reach & increasing your response rate by 54 percent. Average savings of over $2,000 annually.
EASY - 21ST CENTURY PLATFORM MAKES FUNDRAISING A BREEZE
There is no upfront cost, no setup, and no heavy lifting for anyone involved. Simply provide the required info & your digital dashboard is created & ready to go. The FSG platform utilizes ALL 21st Century technology to increase the ease of sharing, response rate and supporter reach to assure your fundraising success!
Coaches love it because they are provided with everything needed to succeed.
- An email to share with their players & parents which explains the fundraiser, what every supporter receives, the number of donations each participant should get to reach the goal, and how to set up their individual campaign link so that they earn credit for their
efforts.
- Coaches receive access to be able to see all the fundraising activity so they KNOW who is doing or not doing their part to reach the goal.
Parents love it because of the tremendous value of the “Thank You Gift” making them happy to donate and share with co-workers & on social media.
Players love it because they simply text/email their dedicated fundraiser link to their list of friends and family that live anywhere in the U.S.
Coach, we are pleased to announce we have negotiated a special bonus for you. FSG has agreed to provide every esports coach with a one year membership and a $100 hotel voucher to enjoy. Once your fundraiser is completed you will also receive an additional $500 hotel voucher bonus, so be sure to mention MHSEL when reaching out to their director of fundraising Ann Myers, her direct line is 314-306-0338 and her email is ann@fundraisingsolutionsgroup.com.
