BoosterHub

Almost everyone uses apps on a daily basis to navigate, communicate, transact, and more. In many ways, apps can make life easier and more convenient.

Booster club software, along with a mobile app, can do the same for your organization. An app can simplify day-to-day management, improve communication, and make your life easier, all in one location.

What Is a Booster Club App?

A booster club app is a bundled solution that makes it easier to manage the essential parts of your day-to-day operations. BoosterHub’s booster club software and app offer a variety of services to simplify your operation, including:

Volunteer organization
Streamlined communication
Calendar management
Event promotion
Accounting
Member login

The software and app give access to both the club officers as well as parent volunteers. Parents can log in to the app on a mobile device and have access to everything they need, from contact lists to volunteer opportunities to information about fundraising.

How an App Can Help Your Booster Club

Running a booster club takes a lot of time and patience from dedicated parents. Maximizing efficiency to get the most out of precious volunteer hours and fundraising efforts is key. An app can remove many of your organization's inefficiencies and bring you several other benefits.

Improve Parent Communication

Parents can be tough to get hold of when it comes to booster club communication. Between kids, work, and other responsibilities, getting parent engagement can be a big challenge. But no matter how busy parents are, they are usually consistently on their mobile devices.

Being able to communicate with them via an app can be a game-changer. Parents have all of the information they need about the club right at their fingertips, maximizing the chance that they will see reminders and other important info.

Save Time

One of the biggest time commitments in managing a booster club is the administrative work. Accounting, organizing volunteers, and fundraising efforts can take several hours a week. With only so much time in the day, the administrative work can take away from core activities like fundraising.

With a booster club app, you can easily manage all of these things in one central location. BoosterHub’s solution helps you manage calendars, communicate with supporters, promote fundraisers, and more, all with just a few clicks.

Save Money

Many booster clubs seek help from third-party vendors for a variety of services. Oftentimes, they find themselves with expenses from many vendors that become disorganized and add up over time.

Instead of managing several different vendors and different problems, booster club software gives you one affordable solution for everything you need. In addition, it makes taking digital payments and tracking income and expenses easy so that you can uncover any inefficiencies or improper accounting practices.

Non-Profit Donation Receipt

Whenever someone donates to your club, you must ensure that you send them a clear receipt so they can take advantage of their tax deduction. These receipts are your club’s way of saying, “Thanks for being on the team,” and they’re essential for keeping records organized. Providing a timely and well-documented receipt also makes your club appear professional and organized. In turn, you’ll be able to more easily build trust with donors and encourage them to give again in the future. After all, donors need to be confident that you’re acknowledging and managing their contributions properly. On that note, here are a few tips to help you create compliant receipts:

Booster Club Rules

You certainly wouldn’t sign up for a sports league without knowing the rules of the game, so why would you attempt to run a booster club without a clear set of guidelines? In a booster club, the rules take the form of bylaws, which are policies and procedures that are vital in keeping everyone on the same page, helping to avoid misunderstandings, and ensuring that each member understands their part in supporting the club’s mission. In some cases, these bylaws will spell out who can and can’t be members, as well as who is eligible to serve on the board. Some states even have standardized playbooks that you need to follow. The University Interscholastic League (UIL) in Texas, for instance, has a playbook of its own, covering specific bylaws for booster clubs that support school programs. In any case, here are some tips for ensuring everyone in your booster club plays by the rules so you can have a productive year:
