NILO Limited

Sponsor & Partner

Don't just sponsor the athlete. Invest in what comes next.

NILO Limited is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping student-athletes and the adults who support them turn participation in sports into preparation for life, careers, business and community leadership.

One mission

One mission. Three platforms. Thousands of possibilities.

NILO sponsors and partners help us provide education, connections, opportunities and media exposure through three interconnected platforms.

Student-athletes

Project NILO prepares high school and college student-athletes for what comes after competition through business, career, branding and entrepreneurship education. Our goal is simple: we want student-athletes to graduate with more than their photos in the yearbook.
