We are a nonprofit resource center for volunteer-led sports supporters groups. For supporter group organizations we provide the TOOLS and TRAINING to successfully lead an all volunteer, passionate groups of fans of their club. For clubs we provide a framework for cooperation and support for your supporter groups in all stages of growth.
In the world of nonprofit organizations, a typical definition of a nonprofit resource center is that it “provides services to non-profit organizations to help them create sustainable programs and be more effective at serving their communities.” For The Supporters Hub that means helping SGs organize better and serve their communities well.

Why is The Supporters Hub Needed?
Because being a member of a supporter group means we are the most passionate and emotionally invested fans a club has. We live for the emotions of the game, the players, and our fellow supporters behind the goal.
Also, Supporters groups are run by all volunteers. In an org that has high emotions, a lot of alchohol around, weird shit can happen. Also, the most beautiful things can happen. Having built and led a supporters group I know how much time it can take to run all of the details needed and how much care I put into it because I wanted it to be right for the players, fans, and our members.
The Supporters Hub is my way to pay it forward because of how many good people in different supporters groups around the country helped with advice, support, plus their knowledge and time. It was invaluable to help us build the supporters culture for Austin FC fans. I can’t thank them all enough. I believe every clubs supporters groups are full of amazing people who can bring incredible atmosphere, their passion, and full voice to their teams. This site is to make the job of organizing that atmosphere, that passion, and that voice easier for leaders and better for your members.
