Fundraising pilot for Australian basketball clubs

Bring the team together.
Fund the season in one focused hour.

Instead of passing every travel or equipment shortfall back to the same parents, give the whole team a way to reach the wider community. Players use their phones while a live leaderboard turns the fundraiser into a shared challenge.

The pilot is not accepting contributions yet. Talking to us does not activate a campaign or create any spend.

No catalog

Nothing to order or deliver

The fundraiser is digital. Coaches and parents are not left storing products, handling forms or collecting cash.

Player-led

Every athlete has a part to play

Players reach their own support network from a private share link. The public board uses anonymous player labels.

Live momentum

The team sees progress together

Put the live board on a screen, refresh when you choose and celebrate each push toward the team goal.

The problem clubs know too well

Another team cost should not automatically mean another parent invoice.

Travel, accommodation, tournament fees and equipment add up quickly. Coaches should be able to open the opportunity to the whole community instead of repeatedly asking the same families to cover the gap.

Keep the club day. Make it work harder.

The BBQ, bake sale or raffle can still be part of it.

Run the CourtLab fundraiser alongside a Combine, training night, tournament launch or community day. Put the QR code at the venue, the live board on a screen and give people near and far one simple way to back the team.

Choose the format

One fundraising engine. Two ways to run it.

Use the same roster, player links, club payout account and live leaderboard whether everyone meets for an hour or the team works through the campaign over a couple of weeks.

60-minute team event

One room. One hour. One team target.

CourtLab prepares the roster links, QR code, event prompts and live board. The team meets, players reach out together and the coach keeps everyone moving through four short rounds.

Best for: a launch night, training session or club event where energy and focus matter.

Self-led fundraiser

Run it on your own timeline.

Publish the campaign, give every player their link and keep it open over several days or weeks. The club controls the schedule and shares reminders when they are useful.

Best for: distributed teams, longer travel drives or clubs that want full control.

What happens in the hour

Simple enough to explain before training.

1

Bring the team together

Players arrive with their phones and a short list of people who already care about them and the team.

2

Share a personal link

Each player texts or emails their own secure CourtLab link. There is no catalog, stock or door-to-door selling.

3

Watch the board move

Verified contributions move the live team leaderboard. The room can see the goal getting closer and keep the energy up.

4

Finish with a clear result

Money is processed for the club through Stripe, with the campaign total, refunds and disputes kept in one place.

Why it belongs in CourtLab

The team is already here.

The club chooses an existing roster and can connect the fundraiser to a real CourtLab Combine, registered tournament or season goal. Player links, team progress and payment records stay with the club instead of becoming another spreadsheet and another login.

How the pilot is priced

Terms are agreed in writing before launch. The model is a disclosed percentage of funds raised, plus Stripe processing fees—not another upfront fundraising software subscription.

What does your team need to fund?

Nationals, tournament travel, uniforms or equipment—tell us the team, the target and whether you want a one-hour event or a self-led campaign.
