Why Work With Athletes
Expand Your Mission. Multiply Your Reach.
Student-athletes today are some of the most influential voices on college campuses and social media.
Their platforms, passion, and purpose can help you raise awareness, attract new donors, and reach younger, values-aligned audiences.
What NIL Really Is - and Why It Matters to You
Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) gives college athletes the right to earn money by partnering with brands, appearing in campaigns, or supporting causes—without jeopardizing their eligibility.
It’s not just about big contracts or sneaker deals. It’s a chance for student-athletes to use their platform to lead, influence, and inspire—especially when it comes to purpose-driven work.
Why Athletes Want
to Give Back
Today’s athletes care about more than wins and stats.
They want to give back, speak up, and support causes that reflect who they are—on and off the field. And with NIL, they finally have the freedom to do it publicly, powerfully, and with partners like you.
