Collect Money This Year with Online Sign Ups

Want to simplify your group organizing this year? Look no further than your online sign ups. SignUpGenius' recently updated online payments system lets you easily collect money from group participants at the same time you're organizing events and recruiting volunteers.

For inspiration, we've rounded up some of our favorite ways to collect money on your signs ups:

Fundraisers

Whether you're raising money at school, for a nonprofit or to support your group or club, you can rally people to give online — it's the easy and quick way to ask people to give!

• Sell school spirit wear directly on a sign up. You can even customize the theme so that images of your spirit wear are displayed on the sign up.
• Need to raise money in a short amount of time? Create a capital campaign sign up and share it on social media and through email lists.
• Consider organizing a festival or carnival fundraiser — they're a great way to provide low-cost fun and raise money at the same time. Sell tickets and recruit volunteers with a sign up.
• Organize a 5K, 10K or fun run fundraiser through SignUpGenius, and use a sign up to coordinate the race registration.

After-School Activities

Anyone running after-school activities or sports can use sign ups to organize students and collect fees at the same time.

• Register dancers with a semester dance class sign up. You can include class descriptions and prices, and remember you can hide names to protect privacy.
• Schedule after-school tutoring participants and collect payments on one sign up. Genius Tip: Learn how Wise Owl Tutoring simplifies scheduling with SignUpGenius.

Professional Appointments and Businesses

Give your business a boost this year by offering your products or services and collecting money online — a simple, valuable and efficient decision.

• Offer tax preparation appointments to clients — and collect fees ahead of time — with an appointment sign up.
• Optimize your photography business and collect money for photo sessions as people sign up.
• Pop-up classes are a popular way to promote your business and make money. From crafting sessions and yoga classes to barista competitions and post-race massages, you can organize and collect money with a sign up.

Group Gifts

A group gift is a great way to show appreciation for a teacher, coach or boss. Check out these examples, and get started spreading the love!

• Teachers deserve appreciation and love for their hard work bringing up young geniuses. Create a teacher gift sign up, so that people can contribute to a variety of gifts.
• For the perfect coach's gift, think about places and services that would serve coach best. Create a sign up with options for gift cards, babysitting, dinner and an overall monetary gift.
• Get your whole team at work to pitch in for a group gift that shows how much you appreciate your boss.

These ideas will get you one step closer to accomplishing your goals this year. Get started collecting money and start giving more, earning more and raising more.
