For clubs

Club fundraising ideas that parents actually like

Church-gate collections and bag packs are hard work. These ideas raise money for your club while giving families something they want – and they all run from one link in the team WhatsApp.

Design your shield
GAA players with a personalised player shield

1. Squad player shields

The coach sets up the squad and shares one link. Every parent designs their child's shield and the club adds a fundraising amount to each order. No cash, no spreadsheets – you just collect your total.

2. Fundraiser games

Run a digital Spot the Ball, Score Squares on the big match or a Duck Race. Parents pay by card on their phone and every draw is encrypted before the first sale, so it's fair.

3. End-of-season awards

Swap generic trophies for personalised shields for player of the year, most improved and clubperson of the year – a keepsake families will treasure.

How the money works

With squad shields, every parent pays online when they order and the club's fundraising amount is added to each shield. The club never handles cash and there's no stock to buy upfront. When the squad closes, the club's total is paid by bank transfer. With fundraiser games, entries are paid by card and the club's share is transferred after the draw.

Why parents prefer it

Parents get something they actually want – a keepsake of their child's season – rather than another raffle ticket. Everything happens on their phone from one WhatsApp link, so busy families can take part in a couple of minutes.

Ideas for your shield

  • An U11 soccer squad raising money on every shield ordered
  • A camogie club pairing squad shields with a Duck Race
  • A rugby club running Score Squares on an international
  • A GAA club using shields as both end-of-season awards and a fundraiser

Size guide

Every shield is printed on rigid board and cut to the shield shape, ready to hang or stand. Not sure which to pick? Medium suits most bedroom walls; Small keeps squad orders affordable.
