Nose Creek Swim Association has a fundraising success story that swims laps around the competition

 

In fact, over the past couple of years NCSA has raised over  $30, 000 with TeamFund Fundraising.

Given those results, it’s important to celebrate this kind of fundraising success.

 

“Our organization relies on various fundraising initiatives to keep the costs of our program at a reasonable level” – Fundraising Director, NCSA

Consequently, their Director of fundraising, Derrick says that TeamFund is now a “key part” of their fundraising program.

In addition, they also hold bottle drives, raffles and their “Laps for Loonies” campaigns.

However, they realized they needed something to make a splash without requiring as much volunteer time and organization.

 

The Lengths They Will Go To

Nothing wears down a volunteer as quickly as a disorganized, time-consuming and lacklustre fundraiser.

Teams need to focus on successful fundraising initiatives that make it easy on the people that are promoting and supporting their fundraising goals.

 

“Our parent volunteers do not have to spend additional hours shuffling multiple order forms and combining entries” 

 

October 2017, NCSA raised over $6300!

TeamFund has a sustainable and successful fundraising strategy which:

  • First, uses known and trusted food fundraising options in your area
  • Offers a webpage and store to support your campaign
  • Lets you invite participants from your school, team or club to buy and promote the fundraiser
  • Has quick order-to-delivery times
  • Mails profits directly to your team coordinator/organization

NCSA loves the Fill your Freezer Fundraiser, which offers best-selling products.

Supporters can stock up on delicious products to get them through the season.

Stay in your Lane

By the way, NCSA has provided a competitive swim program to North Calgary and Airdrie since 1994.  Their aim is to:

 

“promote and support a highly competitive swim program, along with offering a pre-competitive development program. NCSA is committed to providing a superior coaching staff accessible to all levels of swimming ability”

In order to keep providing this program, NCSA needs to have fundraising options that are easy and streamlined.

 

Some amazing features and benefits of TeamFund

  • Sales and profits are tracked per participant in real-time online
  • No order forms, cash or cheques to distribute or collect
  • Logistics and payments are online and streamlined
  • No upfront costs or campaign set-up fees
  • No need to hold or juggle inventory
  • Products are proven and sell

 

In the end, with so much taken care of, all your team or organization needs to decide is how to get the word out.

 

November 2019, NCSA raised over $3800!

“The platform is very well organized and fits very well with our organization. The online system and process makes it very easy to set up, communicate with those involved, monitor and manage. Since the process is online and electronic, we can reach a broader audience and increase the amounts that we are able to raise”

In February 2023, the group raised over $1,600 for their Away Camp!

NCSA also believes strongly that travel is an integral aspect of its program. As a result, they believe that providing swimmers with opportunities to experience different locations in Alberta and Canada is important.

By staying with host families at these locations, the swimmers learn to be excellent representatives of their family, club and community.

However, they recognize that rewarding experiences like this require funds.

Luckily they have a fundraising success plan in place!

On Deck

In conclusion, teams find that working with team fund is profitable and easy. NCSA’s fundraising success has helped their members reach their personal goals.

 

“We are happy to have TeamFund as part of our fundraising program and look forward to working with them again in the near future”
