Who We Are

Participation in Youth Sports is expensive. Most teams and families have to fundraise to offset the cost of playing but fundraising sucks. No one enjoys doing it. It’s time consuming, awkward and you end up having to buy stuff you don’t really want or need. FlipGive helps keep kids in the game by offering a new, easy way to raise money.

FlipGive is a free team funding app that makes raising money a breeze. Teams earn cash back for buying the things they already need. Get paid whenever you shop, dine out, book hotels or activities.
