Sport Fund
Recurring fan and sponsor funding for individual athletes
Sport Fund lets athletes create a fund page and receive one-off or recurring support from family, friends, clubs and sponsors, paid out directly to their bank account through Stripe. It is free for athletes, with a transparent fee added to each supporter contribution.

The problem.
Athletes outside major sponsorship deals had to self-fund training, travel and competition costs, with no simple way to turn a small circle of supporters into predictable, recurring income instead of one-off asks.
What we built.
- Athlete fund-page builder covering story, season goals, club, achievements and sponsors
- Stripe-based one-off and recurring payments with direct bank payout in 1-3 business days
- Three-tier post visibility (public, followers-only, supporters-only)
- Built-in supporter email updates with segmentation and read tracking
- Multi-currency support (USD, EUR, GBP) with ACH and SEPA transfers
- A public athlete cost calculator as a lead-generation resource
What it does.
Fund page in 2 minutes
An athlete adds a sport, photo and a short paragraph about their season to create a live page.
Recurring monthly support
Supporters commit to monthly amounts that can be paused at any time from their own dashboard.
Direct Stripe payouts
Contributions reach the athlete's bank account in 1-3 business days; Sport Fund never holds the funds.
Visibility controls
Each update can be set to public, followers-only or supporters-only.
Multi-currency giving
Supporters can give in USD, EUR or GBP via card, ACH or SEPA.
Zero platform fee for athletes
Athletes pay nothing to use the platform; a transparent fee is added to the supporter's contribution instead.
