Strategic Partnerships Growing alliances with athletes organizations, foundations, and corporate sponsors present strong cross-pollination opportunities. Leverage recent partnerships with Athletes Untapped, Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation and GameChanger to propose bundled sponsorships, co-branded programs, and expanded access initiatives that align with donor interests and youth wellness objectives.
Funding Growth Significant annual revenue in the multi-million range indicates available budget for program expansion. Target corporate CSR teams, national youth sports leagues, and grantmakers with a focus on youth development, obesity prevention, and access programs to scale the Every Kid Sports Pass and introduce tiered sponsorships or regional funding cycles.
Technology Enablement Utilize tech stack strengths to streamline partner onboarding, reporting, and impact dashboards. Propose integration of CRM and analytics (iCIMS, Zendesk, Google Cloud, Piwik PRO) to deliver transparent impact metrics to funders and partners, enhancing renewal rates and multi-year commitments.
Expansion Opportunities Recent launches such as Grow Her Game and collaborations with major foundations signal openness to new program categories and geographic reach. Develop sales plays around gender equity, accessibility, and underserved markets, offering pilot programs or regional grants to demonstrate impact and scale.
Public Recognition Strong credibility from GuideStar Platinum, Aspen Project Play recognition, and strategic awards can be leveraged in outreach to high-profile funders. Capture and package impact storytelling, case studies, and KPI milestones to accelerate donor conversations and shorten sales cycles with large foundations and corporate sponsors.
