Fee Transparency
How the Money Works
| Program | Your Team Keeps | NBF Keeps | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Donation Campaign | 95% of donations | 5% admin fee | Covers platform costs & 501(c)(3) umbrella |
| Ripped Jerky Fundraiser | 20% of each sale (team keeps all) | $0 | NBF earns nothing; all team profit goes to your program |
| Gold Athletics Gold Card | $12.50 per $25 card sold | $0 | NBF earns nothing; all team profit goes to your program |
| Direct Donations to NBF | N/A | 100% | Used entirely for nonprofit programs and operations |
NBF charges a 5% admin fee only on Donation Campaigns to cover platform and processing costs. Product fundraisers (Ripped Jerky, Gold Card) carry no NBF fee — 100% of your team's profit is yours. See our full financials →

How sponsorship payments are treated for tax purposes.
National Boosters Foundation is a program of Arizona Boosters Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 39-3080525). Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The deductible amount may be reduced by the value of goods, services, advertising, or other benefits received.
The IRS distinguishes a qualified sponsorship acknowledgment — your name, logo, and neutral recognition — from advertising. Payments for advertising, marketing exposure, introductions, or products and services you receive in return may be non-deductible as a charitable contribution, or deductible only in part.
We provide every partner with a written acknowledgment describing any goods or services provided in return for a payment. We do not provide tax advice — please consult your own tax advisor. See our financial transparency page for details.
