Hi, I’m Jay
Founder, NILBuckets
I’m a former Division I student-athlete, experienced fundraising professional, and I have a deep understanding of the unique financial challenges athletes face- both during their playing careers and as professionals navigating life after sports. NILBuckets provides brand-building and financial literacy resources to athletes, while also equipping administrators with essential fundraising strategies and workload management tools. Our mission is to help athletes build sustainable wealth and ensure athletics departments remain financially strong.
Through a blend of innovative technology and hands-on support, NILBuckets meets programs where they are. We’re committed to helping athletes grow their personal and financial brands while giving administrators the tools they need to fundraise effectively, stay compliant, and reduce burnout. With a focus on inclusivity, practicality, and long-term impact, NILBuckets ensures that both athletes and programs are set up to thrive—on and off the field.
