Trusted by thousands of schools and organizations
Fees shouldn't keep athletes off the field
Some families want to pay but can't do it all at once. Others just need a link they can click from their phone. FutureFund removes the friction so more students get cleared to play, faster.
Not every family can pay $200 up front for a sports fee. Installment plans let parents split payments into manageable chunks on a schedule that works for them. You'll see fewer unpaid balances and more athletes ready to play on day one.
Credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. Parents pay from their phone in under a minute. No envelopes, no checks lost in backpacks, no trips to the school office. You get paid faster, and parents appreciate the convenience.
Every family should understand what they're paying for. FutureFund's AI translation covers Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Russian, Haitian Creole, and English, so no parent is left guessing about fees, forms, or deadlines.
Paperwork goes home in a backpack. It doesn't always come back.
Physical waivers and permission slips have a way of disappearing. They end up crumpled at the bottom of a bag, forgotten on a kitchen counter, or buried in a pile of homework. FutureFund ties forms directly to fee payments so everything is collected in one step.
Build the forms you need for your program: medical clearance, emergency contacts, food allergies, equipment agreements, photo release, or anything else. Each form is fully customizable, and you can require different ones for different teams.
When you tie a form to your fee collection campaign, parents complete everything before their payment goes through. No more chasing signatures weeks after the season starts. Payment and paperwork happen together, every time.
See exactly which athletes still owe fees or haven't completed their forms. Use FutureFund's built-in messaging to send friendly reminders directly to the parents who need them, without blasting your whole directory.

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.

FutureFund replaces all of that with one platform that handles payments, forms, reminders, and reporting. And it's free, so there's nothing to budget for and no contract to sign.
