Give me an example of someone asking for sponsorship
Jordan is a young athlete who needs a new professional bicycle to compete at a higher level. The bicycle costs about $3500, with an additional $1500 for importation.
Jordan, or his parents, can share his story with the Sporty Bajan community, explaining his journey, goals, and why he needs support. We then create a dedicated page for him, which he can share with fans, friends, family, and potential sponsors who want to be part of his success.
How does team sponsorship work
Team sponsorship on Sporty Bajan allows teams to create a dedicated page where they highlight their players, achievements, goals, and specific needs such as equipment, uniforms, travel, or tournament expenses. The team shares their story and sets a clear sponsorship goal, giving potential sponsors a better understanding of how their support will be used. Once the page is live, the team can promote it to fans, friends, family, and businesses. Sponsors who come on board receive visibility through the team’s page and social media, making it a mutually beneficial partnership that supports the team while promoting the sponsor.
What is the cost to create a page
There is no cost to create a page for teams or athletes seeking sponsorship or fundraising. Sporty Bajan is free to get started. When you receive sponsorship from a business, a small fee of 10% or less is applied. However, private individuals such as friends, family, and supporters can donate directly to you with no fees at all.
Sponsorship levels and different advertising durations
There are three sponsorship levels, each offering a different advertising duration to give sponsors meaningful exposure and show appreciation for their support. Premier Sponsors receive 4 months of advertisement on the athlete or team page, Champion Sponsors receive 6 months, and Platinum Sponsors enjoy the longest visibility with 8 months. This tiered approach ensures that every sponsor gets value in return, while also recognizing higher levels of commitment with extended promotion.
Can I post an event
Yes, all sporting events are free to list on Sporty Bajan.
What is the duration of a fundraising campaign?
A fundraising page remains active until the athlete or team chooses to remove it. This allows ongoing financial support to be available throughout their career.
