A Donation Drive Fundraiser is one of the most effective ways to run tennis fundraising, especially when you want high profit with minimal work. Instead of managing inventory, players and families reach out to friends, neighbors, and local businesses to request direct donations that support equipment, uniforms, and travel costs. With low overhead, most of what you raise goes straight to your team.
Popular options include a “Name Your Price” donation drive and a “Sponsor a Player” campaign, where supporters give any amount or pledge to sponsor a specific athlete. These strategies can raise substantial funds while strengthening community support—making it easier to fund future seasons, too.
