Fundraisers are a part of football, because it takes money for football equipment, helmet reconditioning, field improvements and other necessities. 

USA Football Rewards by FlipGive is a new method to help your football team or league raise the funds it needs to make next season a success. FlipGive is a rewards program for sports teams, schools and community groups, not just football programs. If you need to raise money, it can work for you.

With the free program, a percentage of each sale made through the more than 400 retailers at the USA Football Rewards site goes right to your account. Retailers include USA Football partners like Cutters, Shock Doctor and McDavid; sporting goods specialists like Dick's, Under Armour and Eastbay; the NFL Shop, restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings and much more.

Whether you order groceries, book hotels, prep for back-to-school or go out for dinner, you can earn cash back on all of it. 

For football coaches or league administrators, here's how it works:

1. Create a new team

It takes less than a minute to set up your own team shop. For leagues, you can create an account for every team.

2. Shop and earn cash back

Earn money from every purchase made from the massive list of participating brands.

3. Invite your team

Ask team members, their families and coaches to shop together, and monitor the top fundraisers.

4. Share with others 

Earn more cash toward expenses by inviting everyone you know who'd like to support your program.

5. Get perks

Take advantage of year-round promotions and enjoy special offers.

6. Withdraw funds

Once you reach $100 or more in accumulated cash, you can make withdrawals for expenses. 

If you shop online, why leave money on the table? Sign up to make online shopping work for you.
