Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"
- W.H. Murray
In our first six years as 501c3 we raised $8.2 million at no expense to a cause, with 3 employees and $7.8 million going directly to programs.
The Sportsgrants Foundation is unique among non-profits. We are agnostic in that we have no cause of our own. We look for organizations that have a solvable problem but lack the funds to see their mission through. Then we raise the funds they need at our own expense which we then recoup plus a small percentage of funds raised to cover our operating expenses. Our method of fundraising is equally unique. It is called The Non Event®. To conduct a Non Event fundraiser we have three criteria:
We use our own proprietary fundraising software. We never share client or donor information, and we never charge the causes we work for. If for any reason a Non Event doesn't meet expenses we take the loss.
