Sporting Her, a pioneering self-funded volunteer-run media platform dedicated to women in sports, has announced the launch of a GoFundMe campaign to raise essential funds for its continued operation and expansion.
Founded by Jessica Blissett, Sporting Her has quickly become a global hub for promoting women’s sports through a dedicated team of over 30 global volunteers. A small but growing sports media platform based in the UK, delivering engaging written content on its website and captivating visual narratives across various social media channels.
Sporting Her stands as not just a media platform but also a dynamic pathway for individuals aspiring to gain valuable work experience and pursue their dreams in the realm of sports media. With a global team of over 30 dedicated volunteers, the platforms serves as a launchpad for aspiring professionals, offering them opportunities to hone their skills, build portfolios, and establish meaningful connections within the industry. The collaborative and supportive environment nurtured by Sporting Her empowers individuals to contribute to the conversation around women in sports, while providing a stepping stone toward their desired careers. As a testament to its commitment to fostering talent, Sporting Her has become more than a platform – it’s a community that enables individuals to transform their passion for sport media into a tangible and rewarding career.
Despite the passion and dedication of Jess and her team, the self-funded nature of Sporting Her poses challenges, especially during yearly renewal periods. Financial constraints hinder the platform’s growth potential, and to address this issue, Sporting Her is reaching out to its community and beyond for support.
The funds raised through the GoFundMe campaign will be directly invested in sustaining and enhancing the platform. Contributions will be allocated towards crucial expenses such as website renewals, insurance, physical resources for content creation, digital tools, and other operational necessities.
Words from the team:
Jessica Blissett, the founder, expressed her gratitude for any support received, emphasising that every donation, regardless of size, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the continued existence of Sporting Her.
“Sporting Her is not just a platform; it’s a community of passionate individuals dedicated to shining a spotlight on women in sports. Your support will help us overcome financial hurdles and continue our mission of empowering women in sports media,” said Jess.
