How to Donate to Oax Sport with Venmo and Support Athletes in Oaxaca

Using Venmo makes it easier and faster to support athletes—and here’s why that’s important.

Introduction

At Oax Sport, we believe every young person deserves a fair shot at achieving their goals through sports. For many athletes in Oaxaca, Mexico, the biggest barriers are not talent or motivation—they’re cost and access.

We work to support athletes from low-income and rural areas who are often excluded from national competitions due to financial limitations. These athletes train hard, compete with passion, and dream big. But without support, many can’t afford basic things like transportation to races, registration fees, or appropriate shoes.

With tools like Venmo, helping these athletes has never been easier.

Donors like you can send support instantly using an app many already trust and use every day. Whether it’s $10 or $100, every bit helps. And when donations come in quickly, we can respond to needs just as fast—covering travel costs, replacing worn shoes, or sponsoring a full race weekend.

This guide explains how Venmo works for donations, how you can use it to support our mission, and why this simple app has become such a powerful tool for building equity in sport.

What Is Venmo and Why We Use It

Venmo is a mobile app that makes it fast and easy to send money to friends, family, or—in our case—nonprofit causes. It’s owned by PayPal, trusted across the U.S., and widely used by younger generations for everything from rent splits to fundraising.

For us at Oax Sport, Venmo allows people to give directly, securely, and socially. Here’s why it works so well:

• Quick access: Donate in seconds from your phone.
• Low fees: We keep more of what you give.
• Shareable donations: Make your donation public and inspire others to support.
• Built-in trust: Venmo is familiar to millions of users.
• Instant receipts: Receive a confirmation email right away.

Whether you’re giving $5 or $500, donating through Venmo is one of the easiest ways to make an immediate impact. Just search @OAXSport or visit venmo.com/u/OAXSport.

How to Donate with Venmo

What Your Donation Supports

Every donation goes directly to support Oax Sport’s programs and athletes. No middle layers. No delays. Here’s how your money helps:

• $25 covers meals for one athlete on race day. Nutrition is critical for performance.
• $100 pays for roundtrip transportation to a regional meet or training camp.
• $200 buys a pair of competition-level running shoes. Many of our athletes train and race on worn-out gear.
• $300 funds the full cost of one athlete’s race—including gear, travel, registration, and basic support.

Each gift directly helps an athlete move closer to their goals. You can make that step possible at venmo.com/u/OAXSport.

The Power of Sharing on Venmo

Venmo isn’t just a payment platform—it’s also a social space. When you donate to @OAXSport, you can choose to make your transaction visible in the app’s feed. This means friends and followers see your gift and may be encouraged to support as well.

That visibility can create a ripple effect. One donation often leads to another. We’ve seen people give because a friend tagged us with “Good luck in Xalapa!” or “Support for Mane’s next 10K.”

If you believe in what we do, share it. Mention @OAXSport. Post your donation receipt. Use emojis. Add a photo. Every share helps amplify our message and attract new supporters.

Safe, Secure, and Verified

We know that online donations require trust. That’s why all contributions made through Venmo are protected by the same security systems used by PayPal. We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization in the United States (EIN: 86-3407818), and every donation is tax-deductible.

When you give, you get a digital receipt from Venmo. We use your email only to send a thank-you. If there’s ever an issue, we’ll follow up with you directly. We never add you to newsletters or contact you for anything else unless you ask.

You can verify our nonprofit status and view official reports anytime at oaxsport.org.
