Keep a roster funded in whatever state it plays
The mission of National Boosters Foundation is practical: a team that is not in Arizona should still be able to raise tax-deductible money, sell a real product, and find partner pricing without forming its own charity.
Make the out-of-state ask as clear as the in-state one
Travel, dues, uniforms, and meals price kids out of seasons in every state. A booster club that only sounds local leaves those families unsure whether a tax-deductible campaign is even allowed where they live.
National’s job is to say yes, with the legal name attached. We help teams raise under Arizona Boosters Foundation, Inc., connect them with product fundraisers and partner discounts, and point athletes toward NIL education and a scholarship fund that is still being built.
The mission does not create a second nonprofit. Gifts are received by Arizona Boosters Foundation, Inc., EIN 39-3080525. See how National describes the fees.
What success looks like
- A campaign in a state that is not Arizona can go live without that team filing Form 1023.
- A donor can see the EIN before they give, and can open the parent financials.
- A product sale returns the team’s cut without a National admin fee stacked on top.
- An athlete’s family can read NIL and scholarship notes that are not written as an Arizona-only guide.
What we measure
We measure whether a coach outside Arizona can tell, in one reading, that this is the nationwide program and that the charity is the Arizona entity. Confusion between the two brands is a failure of this site, not a marketing style.
How we work
- Name the charity. Receipts, fees, and filings stay with Arizona Boosters Foundation, Inc.
- Serve the other 49 states on purpose. Arizona visitors get a direct link home.
- Keep the fee table public. 95% on donation campaigns. $0 National fee on jerky and discount cards.
- Do not invent programs. The menu matches the parent organization. The audience does not.
