HELPING ATHLETES
STAY IN THE GAME.
Arizona’s free youth sports fundraising foundation. No EIN required. 100% of raised funds go to your team.
Sports Cost Too Much. We’re Here to Change That.
Registration fees, uniforms, travel, and equipment costs have priced millions of kids out of youth sports. For underfunded programs, the gap between a great team and a funded team comes down to one thing: access to money.
For many families, that number is the reason their athlete sits out.
Without an EIN, tax-deductible fundraising is out of reach — until now.
Programs that can’t fundraise effectively face impossible choices every season.
How ABF Helps
Tax-Deductible Fundraising
We run donation campaigns under our 501(c)(3) so any team can raise money with tax-deductible receipts for donors — no EIN required. 95% of every donation goes directly to your team.
Cost-Saving Programs for Teams
We connect teams with vetted partners offering discounts on uniforms, gear, meals, travel, and nutrition — cutting the everyday costs that eat program budgets.
Resources for Athletes & Families
NIL education, scholarship opportunities, recruiting guides, and operational tools — the resources youth sports programs can’t afford to pay for on their own.
How the Money Works
| Program | Team Keeps | ABF Keeps |

Most youth leagues, club programs, and informal community teams don’t have their own EIN or nonprofit status. That’s exactly why we exist. Raise money under our 501(c)(3) umbrella — donors get tax-deductible receipts, and your team gets the funding it needs to compete.
Fundraising Questions, Answered
Arizona Boosters Foundation is rooted in Gilbert and Phoenix, and we also support qualifying teams nationwide.
Can my team fundraise without an EIN?
Yes. Many youth leagues, club programs, and informal community teams don't have their own nonprofit status. Arizona Boosters Foundation can campaign with qualifying teams and provide tax-deductible donation support through our 501(c)(3) structure — so donors get receipts and your team gets the funding it needs.
Are donations to ABF team campaigns tax-deductible?
Arizona Boosters Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 39-3080525). Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The deductible amount may be reduced by the value of goods, services, advertising, or other benefits received. Donors receive a written acknowledgment for their records. ABF does not provide tax advice — consult your tax advisor.
