Program Boundaries & Funding

BNG is a youth development nonprofit, not a free photography, videography, or sports media service.

Media coverage, storytelling, workshops, mentorship, and school support are provided when they align with BNG’s mission, student development goals, available funding, program capacity, and consent requirements.

BNG may provide support at no direct cost to selected students when grant funding, donations, sponsorships, or organizational resources are available. School-wide, team-wide, seasonal, or recurring services may require a partnership agreement, funding support, sponsorship, in-kind resources, or a shared fundraising plan.

BNG’s goal is to remove barriers for students, not ignore the real costs of serving them.

How to Partner

Schools, teams, or youth organizations interested in partnering with BNG may begin by scheduling a conversation to discuss student needs, program goals, available resources, consent requirements, funding or sponsorship options, student standards, school expectations, timeline, and capacity. Contact BNG to start a partnership conversation.
