4 peer-to-peer fundraising platforms 100% dedicated to sport

Since 2020, the French Sport Foundation has been using iRaiser’s fundraising platform to structure and develop a peer-to-peer fundraising strategy. Three campaigns have been launched, targeting various stakeholders in the sports world:

  • Support Your Club: A platform that allows clubs affiliated with federations to engage their local communities.

  • Support Your Athlete: A programme dedicated to high-level athletes to help fund their training and careers.

  • Sport Territories: A regional participatory sponsorship programme designed to support and strengthen local sports development.

  • Sport and Foundations: Designed for foundations hosted under the umbrella of the French Sport Foundation to run and unify their own campaigns.

The challenges faced


  • A previous solution that was not suitable (Le Pot Commun), particularly in terms of donation tracking, campaign communication, and managing tax receipts.

  • A heavy administrative burden, including the manual generation and issuance of tax receipts.

  • Limited campaign visibility, making it difficult to engage the general public or sponsors.

An optimised fundraising solution for the entire sports community

Thanks to iRaiser, the French Sports Foundation was able to transform their strategy by harnessing the power of peer to peer fundraising. The platform provided a simple and intuitive interface, well-suited for both clubs and individual athletes to run their own campaigns independently.

A more engaging and dynamic fundraising experience

The French Sport Foundation’s peer-to-peer fundraising platforms have become powerful drivers of fundraising success, thanks to advanced features that encourage the direct involvement of fundraisers:

  • Customisable fundraising pages
  • Donation rewards or incentives
  • Built-in communication tools (QR codes, social media sharing, etc.)


Each athlete or club can personalise their fundraising page, integrate a QR code, share it on social media, and offer rewards for donations that speak to their community, which boosts visibility and viral reach of each campaign.

 

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

A smooth and automated payment system that simplifies administrative management

With iRaiser, all transactions are processed through Stripe and consolidated into a single monthly transfer, streamlining the redistribution to project leaders.

The automatic issuance of tax receipts also significantly reduces the foundation’s day-to-day administrative workload. This valuable time savings allows the team to focus on supporting projects and driving development strategy.

Supporting the world of sport through peer-to-peer fundraising

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

The French Sport Foundation has been able to launch multiple peer-to-peer initiatives to meet a wide range of needs and engage various stakeholders in the sports world—from individual athletes and clubs to sports foundations.

iRaiser offers ideal scalability, making it possible to reach everyone from small amateur clubs to the largest national federations.

Peer-to-peer fundraising: Over €6 million raised through Support Your Club

In June 2020, the French Sport Foundation launched the Support Your Club (Soutiens Ton Club) platform with iRaiser. The goal: to enable federation-affiliated clubs to engage their communities through a simple and intuitive platform.

The success was immediate: over €6 million was raised in less than two years, with thousands of clubs getting involved across France.

Over €500,000 raised in just five months through Support Your Athlete.

In November 2024, the Foundation launched Support Your Athlete (Soutiens Ton Sportif), a platform dedicated to high-level athletes, allowing each of them to raise up to €20,000. In just five months, this new campaign raised €500,000—demonstrating both its effectiveness and the strong interest from donors in supporting this programme.

On the online donation platform, each athlete can create and personalise their own fundraising page, and share it via a QR code or on social media. This allows athletes to independently engage sponsors, supporters, and partners—giving each one real visibility and the power to amplify their campaign reach.

3 Tips from the French Sport Foundation for a Successful Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign

To run an effective peer-to-peer fundraising campaign, the French Sport Foundation recommends focusing on three key areas:

  • Training: Organise webinars to explain the platform’s features and train fundraisers.

  • Optimised Use: Guide participants on how to personalise their fundraising pages and maximise their reach (QR codes, social media, etc.).

  • Targeted Approach: Share tips for identifying and persuading potential supporters to give and get involved.

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

“The forms we’ve built are really practical. They allow us to collect crucial information, such as whether an athlete is on the ministerial list or has participated in the Olympic Games—details that are essential for better understanding our beneficiaries. Before using the platform, we used to receive athletes’ files by email, which was quite a manual process. With the iRaiser form, everything is centralised, and we can export the information into an Excel file, which makes things much easier for us.”

Robin Gaillot-DrevonPartnerships Administration Manager | French Sport Foundation

"Each club or athlete registered on the platform can then share their fundraising page themselves. And that represents a huge power of reach and communication."

"Centralising the fundraising and receiving a monthly transfer via Stripe is very convenient. It greatly simplifies administrative management, as we can directly extract information about both donors and beneficiaries."

"Our Customer Success Manager, Beatriz, has been excellent in supporting us. She’s always very responsive to our questions, and working with her is a real pleasure—it has truly enhanced our collaboration with iRaiser."
