The Problem

Manual tracking, limited resources, and growing needs were holding back a grassroots youth organization.

In Waller County, Texas, the Waller United Youth Sports Association isn’t just a youth football league—it’s a lifeline. Founded over 25 years ago, the organization now supports kids ages 4 to 18 with football, cheer, mentorship, and critical family services.

Led by longtime community mentor Don White—“president by title, mentor by purpose”—Waller United runs on passion and grit. Don does it all: fundraising, field prep, gear coordination, coaching, and more, often while juggling a full-time remote job to make it all work.

But behind the scenes, financial management was chaotic. “I was buying meals, gear, whatever we needed—and scrambling to keep track of it all later,” Don explains. “It wasn’t about avoiding responsibility. It was about time. I just didn’t have it.”

With no central system for managing spending, reconciling receipts, or tracking categories, staying audit-ready felt impossible.

The Solution

Givefront helped Waller United turn financial chaos into clarity—with real-time tracking, card controls, and effortless receipt capture.

Don and his team now use Givefront to simplify every part of spending and expense tracking. “It made everything easier,” Don says. “I can buy cleats for a kid, lunch for a volunteer, or order equipment—and it’s all tracked automatically.”

With Givefront’s nonprofit cards and automated tools, Waller United can:

• Issue cards to trusted team members with purpose-based budgets
• Snap or text receipts and have them instantly matched to transactions
• See every dollar spent by category (gear, food, travel, etc.)
• Stay prepared for grants, audits, and donor questions with no added work

“No more wondering where the money went,” Don says. “It’s all right there—and I get to focus on the kids, not paperwork.”

A Game Changer for Nonprofits Like Waller United

Less stress, more transparency and time back to build something bigger than football.

Givefront has given Don and his team breathing room and structure in a fast-paced, all-hands-on-deck environment.

“It’s a game changer,” Don says. “Before Givefront, I was just trying to survive each week. Now I feel like we’re building toward something real.”

Despite limited resources—Waller United doesn’t own a field or facility—they’re pushing toward a bigger vision. “I want a space where kids can come after school, eat, feel safe, and be supported. That’s the dream,” says Don.

He’s already recommended Givefront to other grassroots groups. “If you’re trying to do the right thing with your money, stay organized, and focus on your mission—Givefront is it.”

Don puts it simply: “If Givefront could run everything for me, I’d let them.”
