SPORTS & SCHOOL FUNDRAISING PARTNERSHIP
Why Partnering with COLA Just Makes Sense
Running a team or school program is expensive — uniforms, equipment, travel, tournaments, field fees, and more. Most fundraisers ask families to sell things they don’t really need. COLA takes a different approach.
We turn something families already pay for — lawn care — into steady support for your team or school. When parents, relatives, and neighbors sign up for COLA’s lawn service through your group, we send money back to you. No extra work, no door-to-door selling, just clean yards and real dollars for your program.
How the Program Works
1. You share COLA with your community
2. Families sign up for lawn care
3. Your program earns a grant
We give you simple flyers, a custom QR code, and a clear message to share with families, friends, and neighbors.
When someone uses your QR code and starts recurring service with COLA, we track that they came from your team or school.
For every new account that signs up and pays for their first service, your organization receives a $50 grant. The more families who join, the more support you receive.
Benefits for Teams and Schools
- No selling or inventory – No candy, no coupon books, no storage. Just sharing a service people already need.
- Real, repeatable funding – You can run this program year-round, not just once a season.
- Supports local families – They get reliable, professional lawn care while helping your team or school.
- Easy to manage – COLA handles the service, billing, and tracking. You focus on your players and students.

Lump Sum vs. The Residual Advantage
Sustainable funding is a marathon, not a sprint. Let's look at the stats if you add 20 new families each year:
• Year 1: 20 families
• Year 2: 40 total families
• Year 3: 60 total families
Option A: $50 One-Time Grant
Year 1: 20×$50=$1,000
Year 2: 20×$50=$1,000 (new only)
Year 3: 20×$50=$1,000
3-Year Total: $3,000
Option B: $5/Month Residual Grant
Year 1: 20×$5×12=$1,200
Year 2: 40×$5×12=$2,400
Year 3: 60×$5×12=$3,600
3-Year Total: $7,200
The residual plan creates a championship budget that doubles and triples as your community support grows every single year.
Why Families Benefit

Selecting COLA means every lawn mowed is a contribution to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, fueling community growth and athletic programs.
Supporters can deduct a part of their lawn care bill as a charitable gift, making professional maintenance more affordable for them.
