Subs, sponsorships and donations, all in one place, and it's free.
Running a grassroots club is a hard, unpaid job. The subs get chased every month. The sponsor from two seasons ago drifts off because nobody thanked them. The treasurer stands down and half the club's knowledge goes out the door with them. And each year, a few kids quietly stop turning up, because their family can't cover the costs.
Sponjour is the money hub for your club. It brings together every way your club earns: local sponsors, donations from your community, player sponsorship, subs from families, and a fund that keeps kids playing when money at home is tight. We handle the receipts and the reminders, and keep it all in one place so nothing is lost when people move on. When money comes in, it lands straight in your club's own account. We never hold it.
It's free for clubs.
Other tools help you collect money you already have. Sponjour helps you bring more in, from every direction, and keep it all in one place. That is the difference.
One home for every pound your club earns, and the money never leaves your hands.
A local business pays your club's sponsorship price by card, one-off or monthly.
Straight into a Stripe account your club controls. Not a pooled balance. Not held by us.
Log in to Stripe, see every payment, pay it out to the club bank account on your own schedule.
Every sponsorship generates a proper invoice and a paid receipt automatically. Year-end accounts and committee meetings stop being a shoebox of paper — every payment, every renewal, every sponsor is already logged and exportable.
Track what you've promised each sponsor and prove you delivered it. See who's paid, who renews next month, and who to thank on Saturday.
Not "commercial operations". The real stuff — chasing payments, remembering renewal dates, handing over cleanly when the treasurer changes.
Card payments and reminders go out automatically. No more polite WhatsApps in February asking if the cheque is still coming.
Every deal has a renewal date on it. The club gets a nudge 60 days before it lapses, with the outreach half-written.
Log what each sponsor was promised — shirt back, board, matchball — and tick it off so next year's conversation is easy.
When a new treasurer takes over, they inherit every sponsor, every payment, every renewal date. No shoebox, no lost spreadsheets.
The club always receives the price it asked for. The fee is added to what the payer sees at checkout, and these are the live rates — the same numbers our checkout uses.
| What you collect | Sponjour fee | Club receives | Payer pays on £100.00 |
|---|---|---|---|
Sponsorship Shirts, boards, matchball days — one-off or recurring. | 3% | £100.00 | £105.14 |
Subs & membership feesLive now Subs collected by card from players and parents. | 0% | £100.00 | £102.08 |
Donations & fundraising One-off or monthly giving, with Gift Aid. | 0% | The full gift | £100.00 (fees optional) |
No subscription, no setup fee, no contract. Card processing (about 1.5% + 20p) is included in the payer-pays figures above. Donors can tick "cover the fees" so the club keeps the whole gift; if they don't, the fees come out of the donation.
Subs are live now: parents and players pay by card on a link you share, the money goes straight into the club's own Stripe account, and every payment is logged automatically. No chasing bank transfers in August.
We believe no kid should be priced out of football. The game only works while it stays open to every child who wants to play, and Sponjour exists to help clubs keep it that way, by making the money side easy so volunteers can get back to the football.
Get your club on Sponjour and you join something bigger than one club: people who think the game should stay open to everyone.
I've been a player, a parent, a coach and a volunteer. Every August the same thing happens at every club I've been part of — someone gets handed the sponsorship job and starts from zero, with a notebook and a mobile phone. I built Grow the Game so that no volunteer has to start from zero again, and so every pound a local business puts in goes to the club that earned it. That's it. That's the whole thing.
