Sport has an extraordinary ability to bring people together, and that creates significant fundraising opportunities for charities.

Many charities already have relationships with athletes, teams, ambassadors and sporting organisations. Those relationships can provide access to signed memorabilia, tickets, hospitality and experiences that supporters would love the opportunity to win.

Moonrise Sports provides the infrastructure to turn that access into fundraising opportunities.

A charity can have its own customised competitions portal where supporters can discover and enter eligible fundraising competitions throughout the year.

The prizes could range from a signed shirt to a major sporting experience. An athlete ambassador might donate memorabilia. A corporate partner could provide hospitality. A sports organisation could offer tickets, while a former player could provide a unique experience.

Rather than each opportunity being treated as an isolated fundraising campaign, the charity can build a permanent destination that supporters can return to.

There is another important benefit.

Each competition can help charities build stronger direct relationships with their supporters and, where appropriate permissions are provided, develop valuable first-party supporter data and insights.

Moonrise provides the technology and can support the administration of the competitions, reducing the workload required from the charity.

The model is deliberately simple.

Charities already have the causes people care about. Sport already has the prizes and experiences people want.

Moonrise wants to provide the platform that brings the two together.
