The Opportunity

The donor well is finite. Your volume isn't.

Every season, the same donors get the same ask. The well is finite — and NIL just raised the price of competing. Giving plateaus, budgets don't stretch, and the programs that can't fund their rosters fall behind the ones that can.

But your campus already moves millions in card volume every year — tickets, concessions, donations, camps, dining. That processing margin leaves your institution every month and never comes back.

  • Instead of “One more donor ask”, the Red Rock Way is “Spend that's already happening”.
  • Instead of “A finite donor well”, the Red Rock Way is “Recurring residual revenue”.
  • Instead of “Margin that leaves campus”, the Red Rock Way is “50% back, every month”.

This is not another fundraising ask.

Red Rock was founded in Las Vegas — the sports & entertainment capital of the world.

One card. Every category. Every swipe funds your athletes.

The framework

Three communities. One revenue stream.

The partnership activates the three groups your university already relies on. Each generates processing volume that feeds the same net revenue share — back to your department, every month.

  • 01

    Donor networks

    Annual-fund gifts and major giving run on the same rails — a share of the processing margin returns to your department on top of every gift.

  • 02

    Alumni athletes

    Alumni-owned businesses route everyday revenue back to the program they played for — building a compounding base month over month.

  • 03

    Athletics support

    Tickets, merch, and concessions — the everyday spend of fans and merchants feeds the share for the program they choose.

One revenue stream → your department, every month

At $50M volume, annual return $112,500, $9,375 per month

Equity across your roster

Tennis gets the same engine as football.

Revenue share can be designated to any program your department chooses. For the first time, small programs have their own compounding funding engine, not just a line in the budget.

Most NIL revenue flows toward the highest-profile programs by default. Red Rock changes the architecture. Your department controls the designation, and every sport can participate from day one.

Alumni athletes

A career and residual income for your alumni athletes.

Alumni athletes who sell for Red Rock get a genuine career and recurring residual income — all rolled up under your department's revenue share. Red Rock handles onboarding, training and management. They bring their name and their network.

Their name. Their network.

01

A real career placement

Alumni athletes join Red Rock as full-time sales professionals — onboarding, training and ongoing management handled entirely by Red Rock.

02

Residual income they keep

They earn recurring residual on the business they refer — real, ongoing income that rewards their name, reputation and network.

03

Volume rolls up to the program

Every account an alumni athlete brings also feeds the 50/50 net revenue share, so athlete success directly supports your department.

All they do

Put their name behind it and refer — Red Rock handles onboarding, management and everything else.
