Introducing our friends at Sportsmo, the first app to turn live college football action into real-time, fan-funded support. Unlike traditional fundraising platforms, Sportsmo is built for speed, stats, and Saturdays. It gamifies giving by letting fans back their teams with micro-donations on touchdowns, turnovers, and other big moments. The app turns game-day hype into direct support for college athletic departments—backed by secure payments and tax-deductible donations.

Every fan selects a favorite school during onboarding and funds their secure in-app wallet (minimum $10.) From there, they can engage as casually or competitively as they like—no spreadsheets, no forms, just fast, fun giving. Donations flow to the athletic departments via university foundations of participating schools.

Get started by going to this link to learn more and download the SportsMo app for Apple or Android: https://bit.ly/SportsMoOTPE.
