GamePlan tips: smaller GamePlans tend to be filled faster.

Make sure to include in your GamePlan how the equipment will make an impact for you.
Do not assume that all donors play your sport.  Try to avoid things like “Pony A” in regards to baseball as they may not understand how divisions work in your community.

Question 7

What is required of the organization creating the GamePlan?

Accepted Answer

Please have a copy of the 501(c)(3) form handy when you fill out your GamePlan.

​Please be prepared with the specific product details needed for your GamePlan.  We also ask you to upload a picture.  This can be your logo but this is also an opportunity to let your team/organization shine!  Consider uploading a picture of kids playing the game you are referring to in your GamePlan (please make sure that if the picture does include children under the age of 18 that you have the parents permission to share and post).  Additionally, you will be asked to upload a copy of your organization’s 501(c)(3) form.  We’ll verify it to ensure your organization qualifies and then we can start fulfilling your GamePlan.

Please refer to our terms and conditions.
