Recommended
Best for youth teams. The coach connects Stripe once, collects funds on behalf of players, and donors still choose which player they want to support.
Tradeoff: the coach, not each player, receives the Stripe payouts.
Individual Payouts
Use this only if each player can comfortably complete Stripe onboarding and receive funds personally.
Tradeoff: minors can run into Stripe onboarding limitations.
Gridiron Give is a fundraising platform built to help youth sports teams organize equipment and team-cost support in a way that is easier for families, clearer for donors, and more manageable for coaches. Donors can search for a player or a full team, review real equipment or shared team needs, and contribute directly to the items or goals that matter most.
Over time, the platform has expanded beyond simple player pages. Team managers can now upload rosters, choose whether the coach or each player receives funds, connect Stripe when payouts are required, upload a team logo, manage shared pricing for coach-led teams, and review donation history in one place. Players can claim their accounts with a Player ID, maintain a public page, and stay aligned with the fundraising structure their team selected.
The platform is built to keep each user path clear. Donors can search by player or team, review team logos and location details, and choose between item-based or general giving. Managers can set up a team, choose a payout structure, upload rosters, manage pricing, and track donations across the full roster. Players can claim their pages with a Player ID, update public details, and work within the funding structure their team selected. We continue to refine the platform with clarity, compliance, and ease of use in mind.
Gridiron Give is a product of SPE.
By accessing or using Gridiron Give, you agree to use the platform only for lawful fundraising, donation, roster management, and account administration purposes. Users must provide accurate information when creating accounts, maintaining team or player profiles, processing donations, and communicating through the site. Coaches and team managers are responsible for the accuracy of roster data, team details, payout configuration choices, and any public-facing information published on behalf of their teams. Players are responsible for maintaining accurate profile information and following the fundraising structure selected by their team. Donors are responsible for reviewing recipient information before completing a contribution.
Donations made through Gridiron Give are voluntary and generally intended to support athlete equipment, team costs, facilities, officials fees, or other sports-related purposes represented on the platform. Gridiron Give does not guarantee tax deductibility, charitable status, athletic eligibility outcomes, roster placement, or any particular use of funds beyond the general fundraising purpose described by the team or player. Platform operators may suspend, limit, or remove accounts, fundraising pages, or content that appears misleading, abusive, fraudulent, unlawful, or materially inconsistent with the platform’s intended purpose.
Users understand that payment processing, onboarding, identity verification, and payout services may be handled in part by third-party providers such as Stripe. Additional terms from those providers may apply. Certain payout options may not be available to all users, including minors or users located in certain jurisdictions. Teams are responsible for choosing the payout flow that fits their circumstances, and coaches are specifically informed during signup that the selected donation recipient model cannot be changed casually after account creation without operational consequences.
Gridiron Give is provided on an as-available basis. While we work to keep the site reliable, we do not warrant uninterrupted access, perfect data accuracy, or error-free operation. To the maximum extent allowed by law, Gridiron Give and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of the platform, donation disputes, payout delays, onboarding restrictions, or unauthorized account use. Users should contact us promptly if they believe an account, donation record, or public page contains an error or requires urgent review.
Gridiron Give collects and stores information needed to operate the platform, including account details, team and player profile information, roster data, donation records, contact form submissions, and administrative activity related to account access and fundraising management. This may include names, email addresses, team names, team locations, player identifiers, profile images, donation metadata, and operational notes required to run the site safely and effectively. We use this information to create and maintain accounts, deliver emails, process or reconcile donations, display public fundraising pages, support administrative tools, and respond to user questions.
Certain payment and payout functions are handled through third-party providers, including Stripe. When users connect payout accounts or complete a donation, some information may be processed directly by those providers under their own privacy and compliance obligations. Gridiron Give does not store full payment card details. We may store limited transaction references, donation amounts, payout-related identifiers, and associated recipient metadata so that coaches, players, administrators, and support staff can understand what happened on the platform and correct issues when necessary.
Public pages may display selected information such as athlete names, team names, sport, location, fundraising progress, itemized needs, and approved logos or profile images. Coaches and players should avoid uploading information they do not want presented on public fundraising pages. We use reasonable measures to protect stored data, limit access to administrative tools, and preserve operational backups. However, no online service can promise absolute security, and users should use strong passwords, protect their devices, and notify us quickly if they suspect unauthorized access.
We may retain operational records, donation history, backup files, and communications for administrative, legal, security, or support reasons. If you need help correcting account information or have a privacy-related concern, use the Contact Us option and we will make a good-faith effort to respond quickly and address the request appropriately.
Use the athlete search on the home page. Suggestions include the athlete name, team, sport, and location so you can confirm you selected the right person.
Yes. Search for the team and open the team page. Some teams also enable general donations or item-specific team support.
Item donations target one listed need. General donations are applied according to the fundraising flow set up for that player or team.
That option helps more of your intended contribution reach the athlete or team after processing and platform costs.
Use Get Started, open the Managers tab, and choose team signup. Coaches select their payout structure during signup, and that choice should be made carefully because it is intended to stay fixed.
Not as a normal self-service setting. The payout structure chosen at signup is treated as a foundational setup choice, so coaches should review it carefully before creating the account.
No. That depends on the team’s payout structure. Some teams route donations through the coach, while others require players to connect individually.
Reach out to your coach or team manager first. They control roster setup and the invitation flow.
Yes. Coaches can upload a team logo from the dashboard, and that branding can appear on team pages, player pages, and search suggestions.
Coaches can upload roster data by CSV or add players manually. Large CSV imports may take a little time, and the dashboard now shows progress while processing.
Use Contact Us and include the player, team, or donation details you are looking at. We want to respond quickly and fix real issues fast.
Yes, if that option is offered in the donation flow. Operational donation records may still be retained for support and reconciliation.
Teams and players can raise support for equipment, uniforms, facilities costs, officials fees, and other approved sports-related needs shown on the platform.
We aim to respond quickly and thoughtfully. Use the Contact Us button with enough detail for us to help without unnecessary back-and-forth.
All messages are read and responded to within 1-5 days of receipt.
