The problem

Every season. The same four people. The same exhausting events.

NZ sports clubs work incredibly hard for their fundraising — and still barely break even. Here's why:

🌭
Sausage sizzles and bake sales take a full day of volunteer time and raise a few hundred dollars before expenses. There's a ceiling, and everyone knows it.
🎟
Raffle after raffle exhausts the same small pool of committee members — the same people, every season, burning out.
📞
Approaching local businesses with no professional page, no tax receipt, no follow-through. It feels awkward. Most say no. The ones who say yes aren't sure what they're getting.
💸
Real money left on the table — local businesses who genuinely want to support your club have never been asked properly. The opportunity exists. The structure doesn't.
👋
Sound familiar? CFH is built specifically for clubs in this position — and it starts with giving you something you've never had: a professional page and a list of businesses to actually approach.
I spent a whole Saturday at a sausage sizzle. After expenses, we made $180. I knew the local businesses would have backed us — we just never asked them properly.

What CFH builds for your club

Here's exactly what we deliver — before you go live.

Everything below is built for you in the first 3 days. You don't design, write, or research anything from scratch.

Deliverable 01
🖥️

Your own professional sponsorship page

A custom-branded page for your club — your logo, your tiers, your club's story. Businesses click the link, choose their sponsorship level, and contribute securely in under 5 minutes.

No forms to email back. No bank transfers to chase. No awkward follow-ups. This is what makes your ask feel credible — because the page looks serious and professional, businesses take it seriously.

Deliverable 02 · AI-powered
🤖

A researched list of local businesses to approach

One of the biggest problems clubs face is exhausting their immediate network quickly. We use AI to research local businesses in your specific suburb — tradies, retailers, cafes, professionals — who are most likely to want to support a club like yours.

You own the outreach and make the approach yourself. We make sure you're not missing anyone obvious in your own backyard.

✦ Researched specifically for your suburb and sport
Deliverable 03
✉️

Outreach templates, ready to copy and send

A personalised email, WhatsApp message, and social media post — written specifically for your club. Copy, paste, send. The writing is already done.

Because every template links directly to your live CFH page, any business that opens the message can read the sponsorship tiers, make a decision, and contribute — without a single follow-up from you.

Deliverable 04
⚙️

All the admin — done automatically

The moment a business contributes, they receive their tax receipt and digital sponsor badge — no action required from you. Sponsor logos and recognition go up immediately on your sponsorship page, so businesses see their visibility from day one.

At programme close, sponsors receive a summary of outcomes — what was achieved and how their contribution helped. We tailor this with you during setup.

Community impact

Real clubs. Real kids. Real outcomes.

CFH exists for the players, the coaches, and the volunteers who give up their weekends. This is what it's for.

We raised three times more than last season — with half the volunteer hours. The kids got new kit, and our sponsors finally feel like they're actually part of the club.

Why businesses say yes to your club

We give local businesses real reasons to back you.

The reason most sponsorship approaches fail isn't the relationship — it's the ask. No receipt, no recognition, no follow-through. CFH fixes all three, so when your club reaches out, businesses have every reason to say yes.

🧾
Automatic tax receipts remove the friction
Every business sponsor receives a donation tax receipt the moment they give — automatically, with no chasing required. That removes the single biggest hesitation for businesses considering a donation.
🏆
Real recognition keeps them invested
Their logo appears on your club's page from day one. Badges, certificates, and social shoutouts follow. Businesses who feel publicly acknowledged are far more likely to give again next season.
📋
An impact report closes the loop
At season end, every sponsor receives a professional summary of what their contribution achieved. It makes your club look organised, and gives businesses a reason to stay involved year after year.
🤝
They're hearing from people they already know
CFH doesn't cold-call businesses on your behalf. Your club makes the approach — to your network, in your community. CFH just makes sure that when you ask, it looks professional and gives them an easy way to say yes.
What your sponsors actually get
🧾
33.33% tax credit on every dollar
NZ businesses can claim back a third of what they give. That makes your sponsorship tiers significantly cheaper than they look — and much easier to say yes to.
📣
Visible, local brand recognition
Logo on your club page, social media mentions, and end-of-season acknowledgement. Real visibility in their own community — not an ad nobody sees.
💚
Genuine goodwill in their backyard
Supporting your club means something to the families and people they already serve. That's the kind of local reputation money can't buy directly — but CFH makes it easy to earn.
Tax credit available once CFH donee status is confirmed by IRD. CFH issues all receipts automatically — your club doesn't need to lift a finger.

Our story

Built by someone who sat on that committee.

I spent every Saturday for a season on sausage sizzles. The club was still broke — and the businesses who would have backed us were never even asked properly.

CFH started as a frustration. I was the treasurer for a local sports club, and no matter how hard we worked at fundraising, we couldn't get ahead. The same tired events, burned-out volunteers, real money left on the table every season.

The businesses in our community wanted to support local sport. They told me so when I actually asked them properly. They just needed a professional way to do it — a tax receipt, some recognition, something that felt credible.

That's CFH. A platform that makes community sport sponsorship as easy and professional as it deserves to be — for the clubs who need the money, and the businesses who genuinely want to give it.
