Harry Potter fans know the magical sport ‘Quidditch,’ and movie-goers may know it from the boy wizard flying around on his broom. What you may not know is that the sport has made its way into the real world of us Muggles.
There are twenty-two Quidditch teams on FlipGive, and while earning funds out of the air may seem like magic, it’s possible for us without wands as well: all you need is a page on FlipGive and you’ll be earning back on everyday purchases made online.
USA Quidditch’s tip: Be Ready for Shopping Seasons
This isn’t Amanda’s first FlipGive fundraiser – her shoppers earned $30 each just during the run-up to Christmas. This year the USA Quidditch is starting earlier in the year to be ready for other top earning times, like back to school shopping, Halloween, and black Friday.
Fundraising Coach tip: Timely Reminders
Our most successful teams make suggestions to the group. Reminding the team on mother’s day that flowers and spa gift certificates can earn cash back, for example. A good idea spreads across the team and multiplies the team’s earnings!
Quidditch Team Canada’s tip: Team Outings
Ultimate dining gift cards sold through FlipGive are usable at restaurants all over, and earn 10% back. After all wizarding is hungry work! Quidditch Team Canada have co-ordinated with other team members to get their gift cards before heading out for a meal, meaning their earnings are multiplied.
Fundraising Coach tip: Lots of Options
Lots of teams have shared interests, and these wizarding fans are big fans of reading. So the fact they can earn cash back with purchases from Chapters, Kobo, or Barnes & Noble means they can earn back often! There are plenty of retailers on FlipGive to choose from, so teams of any sort can find something to earn back on.
Bowling Green Quidditch’s tip: Conjuring Support from Afar
Jack has the team earning from shopping trips, but with supporters far away, something that they have benefited from is the ability to accept donations. A large piece of this year’s raised funds for the team has been through FlipGive allowing people to donate directly.
Fundraising Coach tip: Anyone can Help your Team
FlipGive turns to power of online shopping into team funds, meaning anyone can help the team! By sharing your page with friends and family, it means more people can earn for the team, even if they don’t play.
