Dont like it but it has to be done to achieve success.

Does anyone know if the Red/Blue Collective merch purchases support the same way? A regular donation is not in the cards due to two young kids (one with a significant physical disability) but something like that might be a nice alternative to just doing a one-time donation?

If you buy a player's jersey through the NiL website a percentage (not sure how much) of the proceeds go directly to that player. I think if you donate to the NiL overall they decide where to allocate the funds and a purchase is a more personalized way to get your favorite player a couple bucks. This is all just speculation based on what I have seen and heard. On that note you can buy non-personal items on the NiL website such as A10 champ shirts - I bet the portion that reaches the NiL from those purchases is treated more like a general donation.
