About Sponsorship

Sponsorship of a non-for-profit organization like the New York B.A.S.S. Nation can go a long way toward the viability of that organization. Please read below for more information on who we are and how you can help support us. Thank you for stopping by.

Who are we? The Federation (B.A.S.S. Nation) is dedicated to the conservation of the Black Bass and all natural resources, promotion of competitive fishing, protection of our sport through education, youth programs, and supporting our member chapters in the pursuit of these goals. The New York B.A.S.S. Nation is a state organization that consists of over (30) adult, (4) college, (20) high school, and (4) Jr. Bass fishing clubs across New York State.  All levels of the NY B.A.S.S. Nation (Adult, Youth, and Kayak) are run by volunteers that work hard to keep all the events and programs functioning. We are over 500 members strong including members from our neighboring states and Canada.

We are more than just fishing- We use our live release boat to harvest invasive water weeds, removing over 1,000 lbs. a year by hand which means no weed killer being applied to the water. We teach conservation to youngsters by having them on the release boat when possible. By having them on the release boat, they can learn about the fish that were caught and what is done to keep them healthy. This educational opportunity allows them to ask questions and help promote conservation for future generations. 

Scholarships – The New York B.A.S.S. Federation Nation has proudly formed the New York B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation Scholarship Program to provide aid in the form of monetary grants or scholarships for college and post-high school trade development educational programs. 

We work with the (DEC)- New York State Department of Environmental Conservation sending them reports from our tournaments of fish that we have caught. This gives the DEC a better insight to the conditions of the fishery, be it lakes or rivers we are fishing. We also promote The Clean Drain and Dry initiative with our boaters to help avoid the spread of invasive species from one body of water to another.

We clean up and recycle- Our volunteers conduct fishing site clean-ups for litter left behind by others. Oftentimes at boat ramps and areas where people fish from shore, fishing line and debris get left behind and can become a danger to wildlife. We will recycle whenever possible. 

What are we looking for? We are looking for businesses and individuals that are willing to help support and sponsor us to keep our programs mentioned above viable. Sponsorship or donations can be monetary or product equivalent that we can use to raise money at our events. We need your support to help us attract new members by offering additional benefits and discounts.

What we offer in return- Our volunteers run a website that is one stop shop for NY BASS Nation events around the state, including pictures and standings from past events, articles on conservation, and exposure for our sponsors to have a direct link(s) back to their sites promote their products and specials. At some levels of sponsorship, we will provide space at our events to display, promote and sell products, multiple Facebook blasts to our nearly 2000 followers, your companies logo on our Northeast Regional Team Jerseys and other opportunities to be an event host sponsor. Below are some ideas of what we can offer to help promote your company or organization.
