Guide
Raise money for your group
A practical guide for sports teams, school classes and associations that want to raise money by selling clothing.
Overview
Raising money by selling clothing
Rius Legacy is a Swedish fundraising platform where sports teams, school classes and associations raise money by selling quality clothing and receive 35% of the VAT-inclusive product amount.
Instead of selling products people buy out of politeness, you sell clothing people actually want. Orders, payment routes and period settlement are tracked digitally, with no stock to buy and no start-up cost.
The guide below applies to sports teams, school classes and associations — the setup is the same.
Step by step
How you raise money for your group
Decide on goal and audience
Set a clear fundraising goal — an amount and what the money is for (tournament, class trip, equipment). A concrete goal makes it easier for sellers to motivate purchases.
Apply and get your store
Fill in the application in under five minutes. Within 1–2 days you have your own store with the full range and a personal sales link for each member.
Share the sales links
Each seller shares their link with family, friends and on social media. The more who share, the more you raise — without buying stock.
Raise and reconcile the money
Customers choose home delivery with Stripe to Rius or pickup via the group with Swish to you. The group receives 35% of the VAT-inclusive product amount. Each period lasts no more than three months and ends with a clear settlement.
Example calculation
How much can you raise?
The revenue depends on how many sellers take part and how much each one sells. The group receives 35% of the VAT-inclusive product amount, so the total grows with the number of active sellers.
10,500 kr
20 sellers
1,500 kr/person
15,750 kr
30 sellers
1,500 kr/person
26,250 kr
25 sellers
3,000 kr/person
* Example amounts at 35% commission. Actual revenue depends on the number of sellers and sales volume.
Tips
Five tips for a successful fundraiser
Set a clear goal
Tell people what the money is for. A concrete goal motivates both sellers and buyers.
Get everyone involved
The more sellers who share their link, the bigger the fundraiser. Invite the whole team.
Use social media
A link in stories or the parents' group reaches far more people than door-knocking.
Set a deadline
A time limit of 4–6 weeks creates a pressure that drives sales forward.
Remind people along the way
Share how it's going toward the goal. A halftime reminder often produces a new peak in sales.
Thank the buyers
A thank-you strengthens the relationship and makes more people support the next campaign.
