A Nonprofit Built to Remove Barriers for Athletes & Teams
Arizona Boosters Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sports foundation. Our mission is to give athletes, teams, coaches, and communities the funding, partnerships, and resources they need to compete.
Sports Should Be About the Game — Not the Budget
For too many families, the cost of playing sports is the biggest obstacle to the experience itself. Uniforms. Travel. Meals. Equipment. Tournament fees. The financial weight adds up — and when teams don't have the structure to fundraise effectively, opportunity gets left on the field.
Arizona Boosters Foundation was founded to change that. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sports foundation that gives athletes, teams, coaches, and communities the resources to compete on equal footing. We started in Arizona, but our work isn't limited by zip code.
What We Do
- Fundraising: Tax-deductible team fundraising under our 501(c)(3), including support for teams without their own EIN.
- Partnerships: Vendor relationships that translate to real savings on meal prep, uniforms, gear, and nutrition.
- NIL Opportunities: Connections, education, and brand pipelines for student-athletes.
- Scholarships: Direct financial recognition for student-athletes who excel.
- Community Building: City- and state-level collaborations that lift local sports culture.
Why "Boosters"?
A booster club has always meant the same thing: a group of people who refuse to let a team go without. We took that idea, scaled it, gave it 501(c)(3) structure, and made it available to teams everywhere. Whether you're a small youth league in rural Arizona or a high school program in upstate New York, ABF can be your booster club.
Arizona Boosters Foundation & National Boosters Foundation
The National Boosters Foundation (NBF) is the national arm of the Arizona Boosters Foundation, operating under the same 501(c)(3) status, EIN (39-3080525), leadership, and program infrastructure. ABF was founded and is headquartered in Arizona; NBF extends the same fundraising programs, partnerships, and fiscal sponsorship capacity to teams and programs in all 50 states. Both organizations serve the same mission under one roof — they are not separate entities.
Our Values
- Access. Every athlete deserves a real chance to play.
- Accountability. Donors deserve to know their dollars are well spent.
- Action. Programs that move — not red tape.
- Athletes first. The people on the field always come before the politics around it.
"We help teams turn the words 'we can't afford it' into 'let's get to work.'"
Wherever Your Team Plays, We Can Help.
From Phoenix to Pittsburgh, ABF supports athletes and teams across all 50 states with funding, partnerships, and the tools to compete.
