K-State Athletics and MiCamp Solutions Partnership Case Study

This case study examines the collaboration between K-State Athletics and MiCamp Solutions, which aims to create mutual benefits for both the athletic department and its donors. Traditionally, athletic departments solicit financial support from donors, but this partnership introduces a model where donors receive tangible benefits, including savings and business growth. The case study highlights a specific local business that, despite being a loyal donor, was unaware of the excessive processing fees they were paying due to outdated equipment. The partnership provided a cost analysis that revealed these overpayments and facilitated a transition to a modern payment platform that includes features such as tap-to-pay. Additionally, the business joined MiCamp’s Giveback Program, which contributes a portion of revenue back to K-State Athletics. The results of this collaboration include significant cost savings, improved technology, and enhanced operational efficiency, ultimately benefiting both the donor and the athletic department.
