The Smart Giving Card Program is a great way for youth sports organizations to responsibly raise money while the teams, leagues, coaches, parents, volunteers, staff members, friends and family use the MasterCard® prepaid card for their normal day-to-day purchases.

 

    Everyday spending becomes every day funding when the Smart Giving MasterCard® Prepaid Card is used at retail stores, and for gasoline, groceries, entertainment, sporting goods equipment, online shopping, etc. as well as for team expenditures including registrations, insurance, uniforms, equipment, and team travel.

     The Smart Giving Card can also be used as a valuable tool to teach youth how to responsibly use money. By loading their allowance and expenses on the card and monitoring their habits, parents and mentors can teach valuable life lessons before credit is used. Smart Giving is a program of Locker 81 Fundraising Solutions, a Tim Brown company committed to supporting non-profit clients by providing them the most responsible and effective fundraising concepts in the marketplace.

 

     Some organizations may already be using a traditional fundraiser. They might also have great business arrangements already in place for team purchases. These existing programs can be enhanced and earn the organization even more money when individuals and teams purchase the products with their Smart Giving MasterCard® Prepaid Card.
