How does Early Access work?

If you’re running a fundraiser with Snap! Raise in the next six months, you’ll have the option to receive a portion of your Projected Total Raise for the year to make purchases in the off-season so your team can hit the ground running when the season starts. They’re your funds. We’re just giving you Early Access to them.

Get Started With Early Access

Here's how 3 programs are already tapping into Early Access:

Lincoln Park Dance in Chicago, Illinois, used their Early Access to pay for their team trip to summer camps.

Garfield Football in Garfield, New Jersey, used their Early Access to offer financial assistance and lower barriers to participate in summer training.

Mt. Carmel Football in San Diego, California, used their Early Access to get ahead of equipment purchases for their season.

“Starting the season not knowing if we could afford some of the things that the players needed was scary. Having that Snap! Raise Early Access money just gave us the jump start that we needed.”

This is a highly unlikely scenario. We would not launch a campaign that was not prepared for maximum success. However, if you do not raise enough to cover the advance amount, we will cover the cost, so there is not any risk to you or your program.

No, we simply recoup the funds that you were advanced from the total funds raised at the end of your Snap! Raise campaign.

Our mission is to support leaders in building great programs. We’ve seen the positive impact of having early access to funds. We believe in your mission and have the experience and resources to support it. Why wouldn’t we?

The amount you are approved for is based on a projection of how much you’ll raise in your upcoming fundraiser. If you have run a Snap! Raise fundraiser with us in the past, we base our information on your previous fundraiser. If you haven’t fundraised with us before, we use information from comparable fundraising campaigns.

We will send the Financial Admin (AD, Treasurer, etc.) an agreement that outlines the terms, confirms payable information, the targeted start date of the campaign, and the program roster size. Once the agreement is signed, we will issue the Early Access funds to the Snap! Wallet. The Financial Admin will claim the Early Access funds on the Snap! Wallet dashboard which gives them complete oversight of the funds. We will launch your fundraising campaign at the agreed upon start date.

Yes, we will support all programs that need access to their funds in advance of their campaign.
