Ives launch Boost the Budget Scheme
St Ives Town Football Club is today launching a major funding initiative where all money raised will go towards the playing budget for season 2026/27.
The Ives ‘Boost the Budget’ scheme has five levels of giving each with different rewards and incentives. It starts at £5.00 a month and continues to £10, £20, £30 a month with an additional and top level tier of Club Ambassador for the 140th season. The rewards for the different levels range from updates from the club, attending a pre-season open evening with players and management to matchday refreshments, ball sponsors and hospitality packages.
Ives Co-Chairman Andrew Dunn said “We recently reported that the budget for next season will have to be reduced due to the withdrawal of some benefactors. Therefore, we are actively looking for additional forms of revenue. The Boost the Budget scheme is a model that has been used at other clubs and we feel that this is an ideal opportunity for fans, businesses, and the community of St Ives to get behind their club in its 140th season as we rebuild following relegation last year”.
Dunn added “I fully understand that financially, times are hard and individuals may prefer to make a contribution to the club through purchasing a season ticket. But any money raised through this scheme will go directly to assist with funding a competitive playing budget for next season. It’s a unique way for individuals and businesses to get involved and feel part of the club. As I have said before, we are beginning to rebuild this football club and we are doing so together. So members of the board and management will be signing up to this and I very much hope that may others will do so too”.
