YORK City's "Pitch In a Pound...or More" campaign raised £2,311.60 during its launch at Saturday's home game with Forest Green Rovers.
The appeal has been set up to raise money for essential repairs to the damaged KitKat Crescent pitch, which is likely to cost the club £10,000 this summer.
Supporters' Trust board member Ian Tyssen led a team of York Minstermen volunteers in a bucket collection, which will also now be held during City's remaining home matches.
The money has been banked by the York Minstermen and will be donated to the club once the refurbishment work is completed in the close season.
City community and communications director Sophie McGill was delighted by the venture, saying: "This is an amazing effort and the club and the Trust would like to thank all the volunteers who took part in the collection as well as all those fans who contributed to the appeal."
