NAIA Extends Partnership with eTeamSponsor
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has renewed a partnership with eTeamSponsor as the Exclusive Fundraising Partner of the NAIA.
As a long-standing partner of the NAIA, eTeamSponsor has made fundraising pushes more streamlined and impactful. The personalization options for each event have increased donation efforts and helped NAIA institutions meet the needs of student-athletes and teams.
“We’ve believed in the NAIA’s mission from day one, and this partnership has proven what’s possible when student-athletes come first. Since 2016, eTeamSponsor has helped NAIA institutions remove financial barriers and reinvest over $42 million directly into their athletic programs, strengthening departments, expanding access, and empowering coaches to focus on what matters most: developing their student-athletes.
What makes this partnership truly special is our alignment around values,” says eTeamSponsor CEO Sean Connors. “The overwhelming majority of NAIA institutions are private, faith-based universities committed to enriching the student-athlete experience and developing America’s next generation of leaders through servant leadership. That’s a vision we proudly share.
Renewing our partnership is more than an agreement; it’s a reaffirmation of our shared commitment to innovation, trust, and exceptional value. Together, we are setting a new standard for how collegiate programs fund their future.”
"We are excited to welcome back eTeamSponsor as a partner of the NAIA,” states Jim Carr, NAIA president and CEO. “Throughout the years, eTeamSponsor has been instrumental in our vision of advancing collegiate sports and supporting student-athletes.”
The current agreement will run through August 2030.
