ClubSpot announces investment worth up to €250,000 in grassroots GAA
Cavan sports tech start-up ClubSpot have announced an investment worth up to €250,000 in grassroots sports in Ireland by offering to create a free, club-branded mobile app and provide one year’s free subscription to ClubSpot’s club management platform for all ladies and men's Gaelic football, hurling and camogie senior club champions in each of the 32 counties in Ireland.
The app will be an instrumental addition to volunteer-run clubs as it helps clubs to communicate with members, boost their revenues and, importantly, reduce the administrative workload for volunteers.
Like many across the country, volunteer-run GAA clubs are facing rising running costs. ClubSpot has the vision of giving back to local grassroots sports and supporting their volunteers, who are at the heart of each club. They will provide custom mobile apps and club management systems to the winners of each county’s senior championships in GAA, LGFA and camogie. This will represent an investment worth an excess of €250,000 directly into grassroot sports.
Clubs will benefit from having a GDPR compliant mobile app that will promote engagement with their members and ultimately lead to a growth in participation. Features provided to clubs through the app include membership management, event announcements, online fundraising, and a GDPR compliant messaging system to name just a few.
Commenting on the investment announcement, ClubSpot strategic advisor Bernard Jackman said: “Giving back to volunteers who are the heart of local sports clubs is one of ClubSpot’s key missions. We are delighted to announce this investment which aims to provide clubs with vital support and efficient software to grow their revenues, something which is of utmost importance due to rising club-running costs.”
ClubSpot have partnered with and provided custom apps to rugby, soccer and basketball clubs across the country, and have big plans to similarly invest in these sports in the future.
To avail of ClubSpot’s offer, county champions are asked to contact the company directly through their website www.clubspot.app/countychampionsoffer or by emailing info@clubspot.app.
