The Victory Project has partnered with Tiptap, an innovative social impact platform, to enhance touchless giving with the introduction of donation devices at Children’s Mercy Park during the 2024 Major League Soccer season as a new opportunity for Sporting Kansas City fans to support the club’s philanthropic foundation.
“We are thrilled to work with Tiptap to transform our approach to donation collections inside Children’s Mercy Park and empower fans to engage with The Victory Project through a user-friendly solution that is simple and secure,” said The Victory Project Executive Director Lexie Clark. “Integrating charitable giving in the stadium with tap-and-go functionality will enable The Victory Project to make an even bigger difference within our local community.”
