Snap! Mobile surpasses $1 billion milestone for youth and high school sports

August 13, 2025 / Athletic AdministrationTechnology
Snap! Mobile (Snap!), the market leader in fundraising and technology solutions for youth and high school sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities, today proudly announced a new milestone: more than $1 billion raised for youth and high school sports and extracurricular activities. Snap! Mobile will celebrate this incredible milestone, internally and externally, through the remainder of 2025.

Recognized this year by Fast Company magazine as one of its “Most Innovative Companies”, Snap! was founded in 2014 with a $50k loan given by then Ballard (WA) Football Coach, Doug Trainor, to his former player, current Snap! Mobile CEO, Cole Morgan. That modest loan has since blossomed into a billion dollars’ worth of impact, reaching over 150,000 clubs and teams across over 12.5 million participants and donors.

$1 billion“Without a doubt, Coach Trainor has been one of the most important people in my life — and that’s not unique. Every town and city in this country is saturated with hundreds, if not thousands, of coaches who are mentoring kids, believing in them, and teaching them about sports and life. To say that coaches are a backbone of American society is not at all hyperbolic,” explained Cole Morgan, Founder/CEO, Snap! Mobile. “We founded this company to remove the complicated burden of fundraising from youth and high school coaches, so that they could focus on their kids and what they do best: coaching.”

“Participation in sports plays a profound role in shaping young athletes,” Snap! Mobile president Trevor Downs said. “They instill discipline, teamwork, resilience, and leadership that carry far beyond the playing field. Just as importantly, they also unite communities, creating a shared sense of pride, fostering friendships, and building support networks that impact everyone involved. At Snap! Mobile, we see our work as enabling those opportunities for everyone by reducing barriers and giving coaches more time to focus on developing their young athletes to become well-rounded people.”

Youth and high school sports and extracurricular activities are perpetually underfunded due to frequent budget cuts and other circumstances. Snap! Mobile provides multiple avenues for schools and communities to raise funds safely, efficiently, and with maximum impact. Earlier this year, Snap! Mobile launched its new flagship tool, Snap! Mobile One, which brings all the innovative Snap! tools into one, easy-to-use app.

Snap! is the preferred fundraising partner for countless schools and youth organizations. Earlier this year, Snap! Mobile announced a 4-year renewal partnership with NFHS, an organization that serves over 15 million students from more than 19,000 high schools across 51 state associations.

“Surpassing $1 billion raised for youth and high school sports and extracurriculars is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, but it’s just the start. It tells us what we’re doing is working, but we’re committed to continuing to innovate and improve,” Downs said. “We’re going to keep finding ways to leverage technology and community to make fundraising even easier and more effective for every program. Our focus remains on being the most trusted, effective, and impactful platform for youth and high school sports and activities.”
