Amador Valley Football
Raises $34,000 with a Lift-a-Thon
In August 2025, one school football team in Pleasanton, CA raised over $34,000 in a single two-week Lift-A-Thon. This helped them to wipe out the debt they owed their school district and provide them with discretionary funds to upgrade equipment and purchase new uniforms.
Every fundraiser is always free when you power it with FutureFund, so every pound you lift and every dollar you raise goes where you need it most.

Run game day without the chaos
Between ticket sales, gate check-ins, and concession stand lines, game day has a lot of moving parts. FutureFund's companion apps handle ticketing and concessions so your volunteers can focus on the event, not the logistics.
Sell tickets online before the event, then scan them at the gate with the free Turnstile app. Volunteers don't need an account to scan. Supports single-game tickets, season passes, and multi-sport bundles.

See why coaches across America love FutureFund
Most coaches are stuck using dated tools, chasing spreadsheet versions via email, and getting lost in unnecessary busywork. Coach, FutureFund is here to show you a better way.
FutureFund is donor-supported, which means schools never pay platform fees. Your team keeps 100% of what it raises. Small processing fees are covered by the donors, not your program's budget.
FutureFund was started in 2014 by a high school dive coach who saw how much time fundraising, fee collection, and chasing parents and players for waivers took away from coaching. The platform is designed for people who don't have hours to spend on setup or administration.
FutureFund isn't backed by private equity or venture capital. The team ships updates every week based on what coaches and school groups actually need. Your feedback shapes the product.
