Hockey is an expensive sport. From equipment to ice time and officials, youth hockey associations need to raise as much money as possible. We’re not telling you to stop the bake sales or raffles, but adding online fundraising to the mix can really help to raise funds for your hockey team or association. It’s easy to set up a hockey fundraising form online so that you can collect donations any time that the internet is open (which always is, of course). You can also announce fundraising goals and campaigns or give teams their own fundraising pages to set up a little competition. And your online fundraising page will even help solve a problem for your donors – post suggested donation amounts so everyone feels good about giving, rather than awkward.

The entire process is easy from set-up all the way to confirmation and thank you emails. Also, and most importantly, the exchange is totally secure because Active Network is PCI level 1 compliant. That’s a fancy way of saying that we’re held to the highest standards of online security by a third-party in the industry. It also means that every donation is guaranteed to make it safely to your association’s account. And when a donation goes through, a confirmation email will automatically be sent to the donor to let them know you got it and you’re thankful. All of your hockey fundraising information will be organized for you to view with just a few clicks.
