Brian Berkenbile - FanFundIt

Brian Berkenbile, Buddy Broyles' guest on Caddo Convos, discusses his innovative fundraising platform, FanFundIt, which merges the functionality of GoFundMe with a wedding registry to empower high school programs and non-profits. Unlike traditional fundraisers reliant on soliciting individual contacts, FanFundIt uses the strength of a school's mascot and community pride to reach a broader audience, including alumni and supporters without direct ties to current students. The platform enables transparent, itemized donations—for example, funding specific meals, trips, or equipment—allowing contributors to see exactly how their money is used. This approach fosters community engagement, creates recurring revenue streams, and alleviates the burden on parents and booster clubs by offering structured, enterprise-level tools. With national reach and success stories, such as enabling a new rowing team to compete at nationals, FanFundIt exemplifies how targeted, transparent fundraising can elevate school programs while strengthening community ties. https://fanfundit.com/ Welcome to Caddo Convos, the podcast that explores the vibrant community of businesses thriving in Caddo Office Reimagined.
