Questions and answers
What is BackrBoard?
BackrBoard is a sponsorship tool for youth sports clubs, teams, schools, booster clubs, PTAs and PTOs. It gives you a sponsor page where local businesses can pick a package and pay online, finds local businesses to ask, and reminds sponsors to renew each season.
How much does BackrBoard cost?
Starter is free, with up to 10 sponsors a season and 2 users. Pro is $299 a year for unlimited sponsors, unlimited users, and events. Both plans have a 5% fee on each sponsorship, which sponsors can choose to cover. There's no contract.
Where does the sponsor money go?
Straight to your group's bank account through Stripe. BackrBoard never holds your money.
How do we find sponsors?
Find Sponsors lists local businesses near you that are a good fit, with a ready-to-send pitch for each one. Your families can also suggest businesses they know, and you can print a flyer with a QR code to your sponsor page.
Do sponsors get a receipt?
Yes. Every sponsor gets a thank-you email with a receipt. If your group is a 501(c)(3), the receipt includes your EIN.
Do sponsorships renew automatically?
Sponsors pay once per season, with no auto-charge. BackrBoard reminds them when it's time to renew, so you don't have to chase anyone.
Can we show our sponsors on our website?
Yes. Copy one line of code to add a sponsor wall to your website. It updates on its own when new sponsors join.
How is BackrBoard different from LeagueSide or TeamSnap?
LeagueSide, part of TeamSnap, matches leagues with national brands. TeamSnap, LeagueApps and Jersey Watch handle registration and websites. BackrBoard does one job: helping you win and keep local business sponsors, from finding them to renewals.
How long does it take to set up?
About ten minutes. Add your logo and packages (or use our suggested ones), connect Stripe, and share your link.
