About FundraisHER
Simplifying support for female athletes
We are on a mission to simplify support for female athletes by providing the professional infrastructure needed to bridge the gap between social media awareness and valuable opportunities.
Why we exist
The equity gap in sports still exists. For female athletes at any level, a major key to success is fundraising, partnerships, and being prepared for opportunities as they come.
To secure sponsors, we've all been told how important it is to share our athletic journey effectively and pitch professionally. But we were never shown how, or given the tools to do it.
How we're building it
Instead of chasing the get-rich-quick trends of AI, we let our passion for the game lead us. FundraisHER's secret sauce is crafted from experience as an athlete, but also leadership roles in sports brand strategy, team operations, corporate charitable giving, and a deep passion for the success of women and girls in sports.
From there, we started building something we could only dream of when we were competing: an all-in-one platform to help athletes pitch sponsors, represent themselves professionally, raise funds, and engage with supporters, without having to beg or juggle a dozen different links.
Bootstrapped
No venture capital or private equity. Every decision puts women and girls in sports first, not investors.
$19.99 a year
An Athlete Hub subscription priced so athletes at every level can use the technology.
Athlete-founded
Shaped by a founder's experience as an athlete and in sports brand strategy, team operations, and corporate giving.
True to the spirit of the athletes we serve, FundraisHER is a completely bootstrapped company. We chose not to take outside investment because we believe in making decisions that put the needs of women and girls in sports first. We're growing this together, one Athlete Hub at a time, and keeping our subscription at just $19.99 for the year is how we hope athletes at every level can use our technology.
This approach means we're more hands-on and a little less automated, but every step we take is intentional, designed with both athletes and their supporters in mind. Our roadmap includes so many features we can't wait to share with you in future releases.
From our founder
My superpower has always been supporting the success of others, and I am now able to do it at scale. They say if you build it, they will come, and I've since been met with opportunities to support student-athletes, nonprofits, and teams, and to provide a casting network of female athletes to production and influencer marketing agents, creating additional opportunities for women and girls in sports. Talk about both fulfilling and rewarding!
I've always wanted so much more for the women, girls, and their families that sacrifice so much to keep her in the game. In 2012, I bought a new desktop computer with the help of my O-line coach, Coach Billy F. Hughes, may he forever rest in peace, and invested in my first DSLR camera. I took it upon myself to build a website for my Dallas Diamonds women's tackle football team, learned a bit about Photoshop, and turned my living room into a photo studio for what I now understand to be “media day.”
We didn't have the budget for a brand manager, so while protecting my QB from sacks on Saturdays, I spent every other day figuring out how to best help my team get sponsors and fans in the stands. I printed personalized business cards for each of my teammates to promote themselves and the team, and produced hundreds of pieces of content for our social media. It was pretty much the blueprint, and the unofficial case study, for our Athlete Hubs and Team Dashboards. It's crazy to think about how much of my original vision has evolved, but also how much my mission has remained the same.
My hope is that FundraisHER is a catalyst for keeping women and girls in the game, which we know can get very costly over time. Social media is great for exposure, but not for tangible support. The opportunities are out there, but our preparation, presentation, and professionalism are the keys to getting to the next level. We may not get paid big bucks to play, but there is so much value in our voices and so much space for us to create opportunities that weren't there before.
