Australian Football Association of North America

You can help AFANA grow!

We are launching a fundraising campaign today to raise $2.000 towards the next major upgrade of this web site and to retire some old debts and expenses.  We need your support and looking, in particular, for the support of those you who haven't donated in the recent past.   Step up and help us in our efforts to make Australian football better known in the USA and Canada.

GOAL: $2,000  Received to date: $860  43.0%

The specific goals of this campaign are as follows:

• Pay the expenses involved in upgrading this web site to the next version of our base software and incorporate enhancements that will make the site faster and easier to use.   Recently, we have suffered downtime due in part to the growing popularity of the site and our inability to handle the larger number of visitors this year.
• Retire some older debts so we again have a "clean slate". 
• Anything left over will be put toward our operating expenses and future upgrades.   We are expanding our presence to other platforms including Facebook and Twitter and we would like to invest in those areas, too. 

Why support us? 

• We bring you the only site where you will get complete and accurate information on US and Canadian TV coverage of the AFL.  We work closely with the TV networks and the AFL on your behalf. 
• We do not receive any funding from the AFL.  We are entirely supported by your donations and modest revenue from advertising and video sales.  The revenue from video sales has been declining in recent seasons.
• Our volunteer staff contributes their time, sweat, and money to the effort already.  The officers even paid for our last upgrade as best they could.  To ask the staff to do more isn't fair.
• No other organization is solely focused on growing the fan base of the sport.  Without more fans and better TV ratings the sport will not reach the next level. 
• We believe Australian football is the greatest sport in the world.  If you agree, don't you think you can spare a few dollars to help others learn about it, too?
