How Funds Work
How sponsorship funds flow from sponsor to team
Direct payouts via Stripe
SponsorThis uses Stripe Connect to route funds directly to each team's bank account. When a sponsor completes payment, the money flows through Stripe's infrastructure â we never hold or pool funds ourselves.
The fee breakdown
SponsorThis platform fee: 6% of each sponsorship. Card processing: about 2.9% + 30¢, charged by Stripe for handling the payment. Those are the only two fees â no subscriptions, no setup costs, no surprises.
Example: $100 sponsorship
Platform fee (6%): $6.00
Team receives: $94.00
Sponsors can optionally cover the fee so the team receives the full amount.
When teams get paid
Stripe processes payouts on a rolling basis â typically within 2â7 business days after a payment is completed. Teams can view their payout schedule through the Stripe Express dashboard, accessible from their SponsorThis dashboard.
What teams can use funds for
Teams tag their fundraising needs when creating a page â uniforms, tournament fees, travel, equipment, and tuition. Sponsors can see what they're supporting. Fund allocation is managed by the team organizer.
No subscriptions
SponsorThis doesn't charge a monthly fee, setup cost, or subscription. The only SponsorThis cost is 6% per sponsorship, plus Stripe's processing fee. Organizers can use the platform for as many pages and seasons as they like at no extra cost.
