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 →
Fundraising
A Smarter Way to Fund Your Program
Bake sales and car washes still have their place. But for most programs, the real fundraising story has changed. Donors want digital. They want tax receipts. They want to see where money is going. Booster clubs need infrastructure that matches.
National Boosters Foundation gives you that infrastructure — with the credibility of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit behind every campaign.
What You Get
- Custom online campaign page with photos, story, and progress meter
- A written acknowledgment for every donor
- Multiple payment options including credit, ACH, and offline donations
- Donor tracking and easy thank-you communications
- Coach and parent training on running a successful campaign
Who It's For
- High school team fundraising for travel, tournaments, and equipment
- Youth sports fundraising for leagues and clubs
- Booster club support for both new and established organizations
- Teams without an EIN that need 501(c)(3) backing
- Nationwide team fundraising support across all 50 states
How the Money Flows
Donations are made directly to National Boosters Foundation, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donors receive an immediate tax-deductible receipt. NBF then disburses funds to your team or program according to the campaign purpose — with full accounting and transparency.
Most teams launch their first NBF-backed campaign within a week of reaching out.

Tax-Deductible Team Donations
No EIN? Use Ours.
The biggest fundraising blocker for new teams is the lack of nonprofit status. Without it, donors have no recognized charity to give to and businesses have no acknowledgment to bring to their accountant. NBF solves that by campaigning with qualifying teams under our 501(c)(3) — so you get the structure of a nonprofit without having to file one.
