Minnesota Hockey today announced a partnership with FlipGive, a free fundraising platform used by thousands of sports teams, schools and community causes across North America. The partnership will focus on supplying hockey families, teams and associations with a simple, online solution for making the game more affordable.

“We are thrilled to form this partnership with FlipGive to aid fundraising efforts for our community associations,” said Minnesota Hockey President, Steve Oleheiser. “This has been a challenging year for families and communities across the state so we’re excited about providing teams an opportunity to raise funds through services they’re already using.”

FlipGive offers a modern approach to fundraising, using technology and partnerships with hundreds of businesses to make the entire process more convenient for families. Rather than requiring participants to act as salespeople, FlipGive provides team members and supporters with the ability to earn cash back while shopping popular brands both online and in-store. The results have made a significant impact on hockey already as over 6,600 hockey teams combined to raise nearly $1.7M dollars on FlipGive in 2019.

“As a hockey coach, I signed up for FlipGive last year and watched our team raise over $2,000,” said FlipGive VP Growth Sam Menard. “At a time when everyone is looking for new or unique ways to reduce the cost of hockey, we know parents will love watching their team earnings add up starting right now in the pre-season with each online purchase from retailers you already shop with.”

Associations are invited to get started today at FlipGive.com/MNHockey, where you can book a call with a FlipGive coach who will explain how FlipGive works and how to get every team and parent involved in earning to help with costs this season. Associations will earn referral bonuses for every team that signs up.

FlipGive is a free team funding platform that allows teams to invite parents and supporters to earn cash back for online shopping and gift card purchases to make sports more affordable.
