About Grand Slam Network
The Smarter Fundraising Platform
Grand Slam Network is a powerful, all-in-one online and compliance ready fundraising platform built for baseball and softball players, parents, coaches, and organizations. Our mission is to make fundraising easier, more effective, and more rewarding—for everyone involved.
If you're searching for the best fundraising platform that offers real value to supporters and sustainable income for fundraisers, you've come to the right place.
A Better Way to Fundraise
Traditional fundraising can be exhausting—raffles, sponsorships, car washes, donation drives, and paper coupon books. Grand Slam Network replaces outdated methods with a smart fundraising app that helps you raise more money while offering your supporters something of real value: access to Best-in-Class discounts at thousands of local and national merchants.
We call it “Give and Save.”
