CoyotevilleParkingFundraiser50% of Parking Revenue to Your Alice Organization
Work a game day at Coyoteville and your organization keeps half the parking money, paid within 7 days and posted publicly, game by game.
The Parking Fundraiser starts with Coyoteville home games. It opens to other event nights and community nights as those get scheduled, and this page is where they will appear.
How it works
Four steps, start to finish
- Apply. Tell us who you are and which home games you can cover. It takes a few minutes.
- Get picked. One organization works each game, drawn at random from the applications for that night. We email you either way.
- Work the game. Bring 6 adults. Run parking, keep the lot clean, help keep things in good order.
- Get paid. Half the parking for that game after card processing, within 7 days, with the number posted on this page.
On the night
What your organization actually does
This is work, not a bucket by the gate. Here is the whole job.
- Run parking. Direct vehicles into the lot, collect $10 per vehicle, and hand every dollar to Coyoteville as you collect it. We count it together.
- Keep the lot clean. Pick up litter across the lot during the event, then walk it once more at the end so it is clear before anybody leaves.
- Help keep the crowd in good order. Friendly presence, point people where they are going, keep lanes clear. Anything involving alcohol, a dispute or an injury goes straight to Coyoteville staff, never to your volunteers.
- Bring 6 adults. Aged 18 or over, for the whole shift, from before gates open until the lot is clear. Someone from Coyoteville is on site the entire time.
The money
Half the parking, and we show you the one deduction
Your organization receives 50 percent of the parking revenue for the game it works, after the 3.25% it costs us to take a card.
That 3.25% is the only thing that comes out, and it is not ours: it is what the card processor charges. No labor, no supplies, no overhead, no Coyoteville expense of any kind. If 300 cars park at $10 each, the parking is $3,000, card processing is $97.5, and your organization is paid $1,451.25.
Anyone paying for parking can also add a gift for your organization. Every cent of a gift is yours. It is not split and the card processing cost is not taken off it.
Payment is made within 7 days of the game. Both the parking total and the payout are published below, so you can check the arithmetic and so can everybody else.

The ledger
Every game, every number, posted
What was collected and what was paid, for each game once it has been played and settled. This is the whole reason to believe any of the above.
Nothing here yet. The first number goes up after the September 11 home game, and every game after it.
Eligibility
Who can apply
Alice area organizations. Schools and school groups, booster clubs, sports teams, churches and faith groups, youth organizations, civic and service clubs, and nonprofits.
501(c)(3) status is not required. A booster club with a bank account and six reliable adults is exactly who this is for.
Your organization has to bring adults. Anyone under 18 may help with a parent or guardian on site for the whole shift, does not direct traffic, and does not count toward the 6 adult minimum.
The rules
Stated plainly, before you apply
- One organization per game. No sharing a night between two groups.
- The pick is random, drawn from the eligible applicants for that game. Applying does not guarantee a game.
- An organization that does not turn up with at least 6 adults at the agreed time forfeits that game's share in full.
- Every individual volunteer signs a waiver on the night, before they start. We provide the form, and you can read the waiver in full now so nobody is reading it for the first time in a dark parking lot.
- Coyoteville counts the vehicles and determines what the parking revenue was for the game, then publishes it here.
- This is payment for services at an event. It is not a donation or a grant, and we cannot give you a charitable receipt for it.
Questions
Things organizations ask
Who can apply to the Parking Fundraiser?
Any Alice area organization: schools and school groups, booster clubs, sports teams, churches, youth organizations, civic clubs and nonprofits. You do not need 501(c)(3) status. You need adults who will turn up.
How much does an organization actually get?
50 percent of the parking revenue for that game after card processing. Card processing is 3.25% of every payment, which is what it costs us to take a card. Nothing else comes out: no labor, no supplies, no overhead. Anyone paying for parking can also add a gift for your organization, and every cent of a gift is yours with nothing deducted.
How are organizations chosen?
One organization works each home game, drawn at random from the applications for that game. Until every applicant has had a game, an organization that already has one is left out of the draw.
What does my organization do on the night?
Run parking, keep the lot clean during and after the event, and help keep the crowd in good order. You bring at least 6 adults for the whole shift. Someone from Coyoteville is on site the entire time. Every volunteer signs a waiver before they start, and you can read it in advance at coyoteville.com/volunteer.
Can students or young people help?
Yes, with a parent or guardian on site for the whole shift. Anyone under 18 does not direct traffic and does not stand in a traffic lane, and does not count toward the adult minimum.
When do we get paid?
Within 7 days of the game, by check or whatever method we agree. The amount and the parking gross it came from are both published on this page.
What if it rains?
Events run rain or shine. If a game is shortened or cancelled, the parking revenue is whatever was actually collected and your organization is paid half of it on the same terms. If no parking was collected there is nothing to split and you go back into the draw for a later game.
What happens if we cannot make it?
Tell us as early as you can and we will put you back in the draw for a later game. Not turning up on the night, or arriving with fewer than 6 adults, forfeits that game's share in full.
