Host a Collection Drive
Organize a sporting goods drive at your school, sports league, tournament, club or community event to raise money. We’ll provide everything you need including collection bins, marketing materials, shipping materials, logistics and operational support. You collect the gear, and we’ll handle the rest
It’s a free fundraiser: Gear4Good covers all shipping and transportation costs for collected equipment
Send Gear Directly
Are you a youth sports parent with gear your kids outgrew sitting around in the garage? Are you also looking to raise money for a cause that is important to you? We will help coordinate getting that gear to our warehouse where we will process it and turn it into cash!
Clear Out Inventory
If you manage a sports league, school or retail store with inventory you are looking to move, GearGive can help clear your space responsibly while doing good. We will coordinate all logistics to get your gear to our warehouse and you get a check!
Fundraising Without Asking for Money.
Need funding for scholarships, uniforms, or travel? Our sports equipment donation program lets you raise money without selling anything or asking for donations. Collect gently used gear, and we’ll turn it into funding for your cause—easy, free, and hassle-free
Why It Matters
Every year, millions of pounds of sports gear ends up in landfills, much of it still in good condition.
At the same time, access to the mental and physical benefits that youth sports offer has declined for those in more under-resourced communities. As the cost of participation has increased, family budgets have not.
Kids who play sports are 15% more likely to go to college and have better physical and mental health outcomes
Only 1 in 3 kids from low-income households play sports due to cost barriers
The average US household spends over $1,000 per child on youth sports and many spend well into the five figures
