The Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) has unveiled a new collaboration with the leading online management platform revolutioniseSPORT (revSPORT) to enhance fundraising options and simplify operations for grassroots organisations.
This collaboration enables clubs using revSPORT to effortlessly receive tax-deductible donations from members during the registration process, thanks to the introduction of the membership donation add-on.
The ASF and revSPORT membership donation add-on provides significant benefits to sports clubs by offering new revenue opportunities through tax-deductible donations integrated into the registration process.
This streamlined approach allows clubs to easily secure vital funding to cover expenses such as equipment and facilities.
Automating donation management through the membership donation add-on minimises administrative work, freeing up volunteers to concentrate on improving the overall sporting experience.
Starting in December, ASF’s fundraising platform will be fully integrated with revolutioniseSPORT’s comprehensive sports management system, allowing members to handle operational data like schedules, payments, and registrations through a single, user-friendly interface.
With an API (Application Programming Interface) integration, ASF and revolutioniseSPORT will join forces to simplify the fundraising process, providing a critical financial boost during tough economic times.
The upgraded tools and resources will enable year-round fundraising, enhance communication and engagement, and leverage technology to reduce the administrative load on community clubs and associations.
ASF’s CEO, Sue Hunt AM, explained how this deal will benefit the sports industry.
“As part of our commitment to supporting grassroots sports, the Australian Sports Foundation is excited to announce this collaboration with revSPORT, one that will provide the tools to grow and sustain funding at a critical time for our sports industry,” she said via press release.
“Our investment in technology is a cornerstone of our mission to support Australian sport, and this partnership with revSPORT is a perfect example of how we’re expanding our capabilities for the benefit of our sporting community. By harnessing innovative digital solutions, we can offer streamlined, accessible fundraising opportunities that empower sports organisations, especially at the grassroots level.
“These advancements are making it easier for clubs and teams across the country to secure the funding they need, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: enhancing the participant experience, supporting volunteers, and fostering a thriving sports culture.”
Chief Operations Officer of revSPORT, Nic Watkins, encouraged the 18,000 local clubs and 270 governing bodies currently using the platform to take advantage of the benefits offered by the ASF partnership.
“Australian sports clubs have been in desperate need of a revolutionary solution to funding and fundraising. Coming from club-land ourselves, we understand this challenge all too well – they are under-resourced and underfunded. That is why we built revSPORT, to simplify sport and maximise the impact of grassroots administrators,” he said via press release.
“Our exclusive partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation has the power to change the face of our industry. By providing an innovative solution centred on an exceptional user experience, sporting clubs using revSPORT will be able to leverage the capabilities of our two organisations, and unlock previously untapped revenue opportunities.”
