FlipGive is a team funding app that simplifies raising money for sports teams, schools and community groups. Teams earn cash back by buying the things they need to get anyway and are paid whenever they shop, dine out, book hotels or activities.
FlipGive has worked with Dikembe Mutombo[1] as an investor and corporate ambassador to raise awareness of the rising costs of youth sports in North America.
