Football Sponsorship With Purpose
Become a Foundation Partner of the Ottawa Sooners Football Foundation
The Ottawa Sooners Football Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing young men through football, education, and community leadership across Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.
With more than six decades of football history, the Ottawa Sooners program provides structured opportunities for 17–22-year-old athletes to build discipline, accountability, and leadership skills that extend beyond the field of play. Many athletes go on to pursue post-secondary education, skilled trades, and professional careers, supported through scholarships, bursaries, and mentorship.
This is not simply a football program — it is a community investment.
What Does It Take to Operate an Elite Junior Football Program?
To deliver a safe, competitive, and accessible junior football experience, the Ottawa Sooners Football Foundation operates on an annual budget of approximately $100,000–$200,000 per year.
These costs include:
- • Player equipment and safety standards
- • Travel, league, and competition costs
- • Facility rentals and game-day operations
- • • Medical coverage, athletic therapy, and injury prevention
- • Administrative, governance, and compliance requirements
The program is supported by hundreds of volunteer hours each year, making corporate and foundation partnerships essential to long-term sustainability and accessibility.

Why $100,000–$200,000 Matters
An annual investment at this level allows the Foundation to:

- • Keep participation accessible regardless of financial background
- • Support educational outcomes beyond football
- • Build long-term organizational stability
This is not a one-season contribution — it is an investment in people, pathways, and leadership development.
