Two ways to activate a board

Choose Your Impact

Whether you're backing an athlete or you are the athlete, there's a board built for you. Each one activates a network — the difference is where the funding goes.

Community Support Board

Support an Athlete

Activate your network and help fund an athlete's journey while creating opportunities for future athletes. For businesses, clubs, schools, families and philanthropists.

First $2,032 to your athlete · next $2,032 to the Future Athlete Fund · remainder to the Working Fund.

First $4,064 raised goes directly to you · remainder supports Fundathon.

What Fundathon is

Grassroots fundraising at its best.

Fundathon is a network activation platform — a micro-giving movement that helps businesses, individuals, community groups and philanthropists activate their existing network to support athletes.

Activate your network

Staff, customers, suppliers, friends, family and community — the people you already know become a funding force, one number at a time.

Fund an athlete

Nominate an athlete you believe in, or let Fundathon match you with one from our athlete network. The first $2,032 raised goes straight to them.

Change a future

Micro-giving adds up. Every board funds an athlete, the Future Athlete Fund and the movement — even if it never fully sells out.

How a board works

Buy a board. Fill it with numbers 1–100.

A board costs $10 to purchase. It then contains 100 numbers, each sold for its face value — number 1 is $1, number 50 is $50, number 100 is $100. A fully sold board raises $5,050.

Each number = its face value$0 of $5,050
Transparent by design

Where the money goes

For a fully sold $5,050 board, here's exactly how every dollar is directed. We show it openly so supporters always know their micro-gift counts.

Athlete · $2,032
Future Athlete Fund · $2,032
Working Fund · $986
First $2,032
$2,032

Nominated athlete

The first $2,032 raised from every board goes directly to the nominated or matched athlete.

Next allocation
$2,032

Future Athlete Fund

Funds above $2,032 build a pool that supports the next athletes coming through the movement.

Remaining
$986

Fundathon Working Fund

Keeps Fundathon running — promoting boards, technology, administration, marketing and growing the movement.

If a board raises less than $5,050, the first $2,032 still goes to the athlete, then the remainder above $2,032 is split between the Future Athlete Fund and Working Fund using the same proportional model. See the full breakdown →
