Round Ups
Our credit card linked round-up option offers fans a simple way to make micro donations with every purchase. By enrolling your credit or debit card, each purchase is automatically rounded up to the next dollar and donated to your chosen school. This effortless approach allows you to support your favorite team with minimal cost while making a big impact.
Opt in With or Without Prizes
For fans looking to not only give but also receive, we provide a sweepstakes option you can select during sign up. If you choose to opt into the sweepstakes, every purchase is another entry to win great prizes like digital gift cards and even big cash giveaways. In the sweepstakes option, your round-ups will be split with 50% going to your chosen school and 50% going to fund the prize pool. For fans looking to make the maximum impact on their school, enrolling in GameChange without the sweepstakes will ensure 90% of your round-ups are donated to your chosen school, providing even more support.
Capped Monthly
While our default setting is unlimited round-ups, meaning every purchase on an enrolled card will be rounded up and donated, we do offer the option to cap your maximum monthly donation. If your total round-ups in a month is less than your maximum cap, you will only donate that amount. If your total round-ups in a month exceed that maximum cap, you would only donate the maximum amount you have set for your account.
Fixed Monthly
In addition to the round-ups that generate small donations with every purchase, we provide the option for you to set a recurring monthly amount to be donated to your chosen school. This gives fans who want to ensure consistency in what they’re giving to support their chosen school each month.
Unrestricted/Directed
Unrestricted giving provides athletic departments with the flexibility to allocate funds where they are most needed. This could include facility upgrades, recruiting, staff, travel expenses, supporting student-athlete academic programs and more. GameChange donations by default are unrestricted because this ensures athletic programs can best address critical needs and maintain a competitive edge.
We do have future plans to offer directed giving which would allow GameChange users to select precisely what their funds are earmarked for within their chosen school’s athletic department. That means if you want your donation to go to the women’s basketball team, or a particular facility upgrade, you choose how the athletic department has to use your donations.
