Fundtool was founded on the principle of inclusion and the belief that, with enough community support, everyone deserves the chance to take part in the life-changing, life-giving opportunity that is youth sports.
Brian Preston, Fundtool’s founder, recalls:
“There was a girl on my daughter’s softball team who couldn’t pay the team fees. I felt the pain and devastation from her father that day when he told the team he couldn’t afford for her to continue to play.”
It was in that moment Brian knew he had to create a solution—something that could take the financial pressure off families and give kids a chance to keep playing.
Three months of late nights and hard work later, he had a viable product to offer that dad—and so many other families just like his.
He called it Fundtool.
No door-to-door sales. No hidden fees. Just a simple, viral message that rallies support from loved ones near and far—creating real community connection and speaking belief into the life of a young athlete.
Since its inception, Fundtool has helped thousands of families and teams raise what they need so their athletes can stay in the game—and grow from the character-building, community-shaping experiences that outlast any single season.
