Partners

Interested in becoming a partner?

We're proud to work with partners that are both individual and corporate. As a not-for-profit, non-stock corporation, CavFutures aims to provide all benefits from any partnership to the student-athlete. This means CavFutures does not extract a fee or percentage from any partnership. CavFutures has operational and administrative costs, but these costs are paid for by donations as well as profits from our subscription service for UVA Fans, Cav Club.


Whether local or regional, corporate partners are urged to consider establishing business relationships with our student-athletes based on compensating them in exchange for the use of their name, image and likeness. Student-athletes make incredible advocates for brands, products, and events and we are there to assist them from start to finish. All partnerships are custom-built to serve the goals of each business, and CavFutures staff will assist with developing a plan that's right for you while ensuring student-athletes remain complaint with the NCAA, University and state requirements.


 Individual partners are encouraged to donate to CavFutures to promote the betterment of the Official NIL Collective of UVA Athletics. Please connect with us to meet in the CavFutures Marketplace.
