For Teams, Schools & Athletes — Every Sport, Every Level, All 50 States. One PDF covers everything NBF offers your program.
One Foundation. Every Resource Your Program Needs.
The National Boosters Foundation exists for one reason: to remove the financial barriers that keep teams and athletes from competing at their best. We are a verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in Arizona and serving programs in all 50 states.
We are not a single fundraiser. We are a platform. Through vetted partners and negotiated programs, we give your program access to fundraising tools, apparel, NIL opportunities, donor tools, and discounts that most schools and clubs would never be able to build on their own — and we do it without charging your team a setup fee.
Our Promise
- No upfront cost, no inventory, and no minimum order on our core fundraising programs.
- A real person walking your coach, booster president, or athletic director through setup.
- Tax-deductible receipts issued to your donors under our 501(c)(3) — even if your team has no EIN.
- Programs that work for every sport and every level: varsity, club, JV, youth, cheer, dance, esports and more.
- Transparent splits. You always know exactly what your program keeps.

Get Funded
Your program collects revenue. Your donors get tax-deductible receipts. Everyone wins.
Two Proven Campaigns. Zero Upfront Cost.
Both programs are completely free to set up, easy for families to participate in, and carry no upfront cost. The National Boosters Foundation takes no share of partner fundraising — every dollar your program earns goes straight to your program. Many programs run both campaigns at the same time, or back-to-back, to maximize what they bring in.
Note for your supporters: because they receive a product, these purchases are not tax-deductible donations.
Ripped Jerky — Online Sales, 20% to Your Team
Premium jerky your athletes sell entirely online, earning your program 20% on every sale. There is no inventory to handle, no cash to collect, and no order forms to chase down. Each player simply shares a personalized link with family and friends or posts it to social media. Orders are processed and shipped directly to the supporter.
Because there is nothing physical to manage, this is the easiest campaign to run mid-season — and the easiest for out-of-state grandparents, alumni, and family friends to support.
Digital Gold Card by Gold Athletics — 50% to Your Team
A digital coupon book featuring negotiated deals from businesses right in your own community. Your families choose which local favorites to include — and if a business isn’t already on the list, Gold Athletics will reach out to add it.
Each card sells for $25.00 and your team keeps $12.50 — a full 50% return on every single sale. Because supporters get real, usable value in local savings, these cards practically sell themselves.
What Running Both Campaigns Could Look Like
Illustrative only — actual results depend on roster size and participation. Assumes each athlete sells roughly $250 in Ripped Jerky and 15 Digital Gold Cards over a campaign window.
| Roster Size | Ripped Jerky (20%) | Gold Card ($12.50 ea.) | Combined Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 athletes | $600 | $2,250 | $2,850 |
| 20 athletes | $1,000 | $3,750 | $4,750 |
| 35 athletes | $1,750 | $6,562 | $8,312 |
| 50 athletes | $2,500 | $9,375 | $11,875 |
These figures are illustrative. Results vary by participation rate and market.
Give Your School the Store It Didn’t Know It Needed
In partnership with JLD Designs (James Lee Dean), setting up a team store has never been easier. Your program gets a clean, professional online storefront where players, parents, students, alumni, and fans can order gear on their own — no bulk orders, no leftover boxes of the wrong sizes, no coach playing warehouse manager.
What Goes in the Store
- Player packs — the full kit your athletes need for the season in one purchase.
- T-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, joggers, and warmups.
- Hats, beanies, bags, and sideline accessories.
- Options across a range of different brands, not just one supplier.
- Fan and parent gear so your community can rep the program too.
Your Name. Your Number. Your Story.
Influxer — NIL Merch Stores at Zero Cost
Every high school, collegiate, and professional athlete can launch their own online merch store at zero cost through Influxer. Influxer handles everything — the technology, the inventory, the printing, and the shipping — so athletes can focus on competing.
Every sale puts compliant NIL compensation in the athlete’s pocket, with live analytics and easy payout.
Cheer. Dance. Wrestling. Flag football. Track. Swim. Every sport, every level. You don’t need a million followers — you just need people who support you.
Ripped Jerky Individual Athlete Campaign
Our newest NIL offering lets an individual athlete raise funds for their own needs — whether that’s league fees, registration, travel costs, camps, or equipment. The athlete drives their own sales and keeps 20% of everything they bring in.
It works exactly like the team campaign, but the earnings follow the athlete instead of the program. It’s ideal for the player whose family is covering a club season, a showcase trip, or an out-of-state tournament on their own.
No 501(c)(3)? No Problem.
Many teams — especially youth leagues, club programs, and informal community teams — don’t have their own nonprofit status. That’s exactly why we exist.
The National Boosters Foundation can create a donation campaign on your behalf and issue your donors a legitimate tax receipt under our 501(c)(3). Your supporters get the deduction. Your program gets the funding. Nobody has to file for an EIN or stand up a nonprofit from scratch.
This is the tax-deductible route. It is separate from the partner fundraising campaigns above, where supporters buy a product and therefore cannot deduct the purchase.
Why This Matters for Your Donors
- Local businesses can write off their support — which makes a bigger ask far easier to say yes to.
- Alumni and community members get documentation for their taxes.
- Your program looks organized and credible, because the paperwork is handled properly.
- Coaches spend their time coaching instead of managing donation accounting.
