The Funding Game Plan: Securing Long-Term Support for Sports Nonprofits
A Step-By-Step Playbook for Sports & Rec Nonprofits to stop scrambling and start WINNING sustainable funding!
Are you tired of…
❌ Chasing one-time donations that barely cover expenses?
❌ Applying for grants that go nowhere?
❌ Funders ghosting you after one big event?
❌ Always feeling one bad season away from shutting down?
You’re not alone. Most small sports & rec nonprofits hustle hard but lack the systems to bring in consistent, long-term funding.
This Playbook Changes That.
Inside The Funding Game Plan, you’ll learn exactly how to:
✅ Package your sponsorship offers so funders actually say yes.
✅ Write emails & follow-ups that turn “maybe” into committed partners.
✅ Close the deal with confidence (no more under-asking).
✅ Keep sponsors renewing year after year with impact reporting that’s simple & effective.
✅ Navigate the grant game without wasting your time on bad fits.
✅ Add extra momentum with bonus events & giving campaigns.
This isn’t theory. It’s plug-and-play strategies, templates, and checklists you can use today.
