Support & donate

Back the team

Donate, sponsor an angler, or partner with NASFF. Here's exactly where the money goes.

How giving works right now. NASFF isn't a 501(c)(3) yet, so gifts aren't tax-deductible. Online giving opens once the federation's bank account is set up. For now, make a pledge and we'll follow up by email to arrange it. In 2026, support goes to NASFF's one-angler entry in Florida and the film. After that, it goes to the 2027 roster.

Where the money goes

What it takes to send one angler

Likely costs for one angler at Pan Am 2026, flying from Southern California with a private hotel room and buying all the competition gear.

Gear is the big lever. An angler who already owns all their competition gear (rods, reels, lures and tools) costs about $2,000 to send, so gear donations make a real difference.
