NIL PARTNERSHIPS / NAME, IMAGE & LIKENESS
Turn Everyday Payments Into Athletic Department Support.
A different way to create resources for the programs, athletes, rosters, and facilities that build champions.
ABREEZE is developing payment-processing partnerships that connect athletic departments with the businesses already supporting their communities. Through an appropriate dual-pricing strategy, participating businesses may be able to offset or reduce their net payment-processing expense while creating an economic relationship that can provide support back to the athletic department.
BUSINESS PAYMENTS → ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY → ATHLETIC SUPPORT
What if the payments your community is already making could help support your athletic department?
Athletic departments need resources to compete. Businesses are already processing payments every day. ABREEZE is creating a model that connects those two realities.
We work with participating businesses to evaluate their existing payment-processing environment and determine whether an appropriate dual-pricing strategy can create an opportunity to reduce their net processing expense while generating support for the athletic department.

HOW IT WORKS
From Everyday Transactions to Additional Support.
01
BRING BUSINESSES TO THE TABLE
Work with businesses that already support the athletic department, community, alumni, and local economy.
02
OPTIMIZE PAYMENT PROCESSING
Evaluate the business’s existing payment environment and determine whether a dual-pricing structure is appropriate.
03
CREATE THE SAVINGS
Where applicable, the pricing structure is designed to offset or reduce the merchant’s net payment-processing expense.
04
GIVE BACK
A portion of ABREEZE’s resulting revenue can be designated for support of the participating athletic department, subject to the applicable program structure and agreements.
05
REINVEST IN ATHLETICS
Support can help create additional resources for rosters, facilities, programs, student-athlete support, and NIL initiatives.
Businesses Get More Control. Athletic Departments Get More Support.
BUSINESSES
A Smarter Payment Strategy
Businesses gain access to payment solutions designed around their needs, with the potential to reduce their net processing expense through an appropriate dual-pricing structure.
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS
A New Support Opportunity
Create another pathway for community businesses to contribute through their existing payment-processing relationships.
ATHLETES & PROGRAMS
More Resources Behind the Program
Additional resources can support rosters, facilities, programs, student-athlete initiatives, and NIL efforts.
Stop Asking Businesses For More Money.
Help them redirect what they’re already spending.
Businesses are already paying for payment processing. The ABREEZE NIL Partnership creates a different conversation:
What if part of that existing expense could be redirected toward supporting the athletic department?
When Local Businesses Win, Athletics Can Win With Them.
A connected community. An additional opportunity—not a replacement for existing athletic-department fundraising.

Why Dual Pricing?
Give businesses another way to manage payment costs.
Dual pricing can allow a business to present different prices based on the customer’s payment method, where permitted and properly disclosed.
ABREEZE helps businesses evaluate whether this type of program is appropriate for their operation and assists with the payment technology needed to implement it.

We Don’t Just Process Payments.
We look for ways payments can create more value.
ABREEZE already helps businesses with technology, payments, payroll, accounting, employee benefits, and capital. The NIL Partnership extends that philosophy into college athletics.
Instead of treating payment processing as simply a transaction, ABREEZE looks at the broader economic relationship surrounding the business and the community.
Reduce complexity for businesses. Create a new support opportunity for athletic departments. Reinvest in rosters, facilities, programs, and NIL initiatives.
Turn Payment Processing Into Athletic Support.
Your businesses are already processing payments. Your athletic department is already looking for ways to create more resources. Let’s explore whether those two things can work together.
