EBENtrellis is the dedicated platform where athletic programs find steady sponsors — and local businesses invest in the community they call home.
High school sports programs are chronically underfunded. State and district budgets fall short. Boosters are tapped out. Coaches resort to cold-calling local businesses — a time-consuming process with no guarantee of results. Meanwhile, the program suffers.
Local business owners know the value of community investment. They want to sponsor youth sports — but don't know which teams need help, how to reach coaches, or how to make a payment safely. The opportunity goes wasted on both sides.
One-time setup. Add your sport, school, location, team story, and funding goal. Your profile goes live and becomes discoverable by local businesses immediately.
Enter your zip code. Browse local team profiles, read their stories, and message coaches directly — no middlemen, no cold calls, just a direct conversation.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe, and funds land directly with the team.
Every tier includes direct team access and in-app messaging.
Whether you run the team or own the business, EBENtrellis is built for you. Here's what each path looks like.
Build a team profile in under 15 minutes. Share your story, your sport, and your funding goal — then let local businesses come to you.
Find teams near you by zip code. Start an ongoing relationship — not a one-off donation.
EBENtrellis isn't a generic fundraising tool. It was designed from the ground up for high school athletics.
Not a general crowdfunding platform repurposed for sports. EBENtrellis is purpose-built for the specific dynamics of high school programs.
Discovery is filtered by zip code. Sponsors find teams in their actual community.
Multi-year partnership options mean teams build a base of reliable supporters — not just one-off donors.
