RAISING FUNDS
In addition to raising and granting money to the Athletic Department as a whole, the BAF acts as the fiscal agent for your team funds. Per BHS policy and CIF and NCS Bylaws, ALL team funds must be managed in a BAF account. We are a registered 501C-3 non-profit, so funds deposited into your team’s account are tax deductible. Our organization is an all-volunteer organization, and in particular the treasureer & clerk jobs are extremely time consuming. In order to keep the jobs manageable, we ask you to work with us to make it as easy as possible.
TEAM CAMPAIGNS
BAF helps all teams fundraise with the help of a fundraising software platform. Each team has access to the platform to create their own custom team fundraising campaign. Team parents have realtime access to how much the team is raising. You can see all these campaigns on our main fundraising page.
PARKING LOT
Parking lot fundraisers are an easy way for Berkeley High sports teams to raise money for their own programs by selling our parking spots on Friday and Saturdays in the Berkeley High staff parking lot. We also have a team rotation for parking during Cal Football games and the Berkeley Half Marathon.
EVENTS
Some teams run bake sales, offer a snack shack, hold clinics,o r other small in-person events and collect $$ during those events. Please reach out to the BAF clerk (bafclerk@berkeleyathleticfund.net) to coordiinate depositing those funds &getting them allocated to your team accounts.
