Campus-wide partnership with Founders Federal Credit Union announced
October 5, 2017
Clemson University, Founders Federal Credit Union and JMI Sports announced a comprehensive seven-year partnership that expands Founders’ commitment to Clemson Athletics and Clemson University.
As part of this agreement, Founders is now the Official Credit Union Partner of the Clemson Tigers and Clemson University, and will have an enhanced presence in the Clemson community with expanded visibility in athletics and greater integration into campus life and student events. In addition, Founders will now be offering its members a Clemson cobranded Debit Card this fall.
“Founders believes in supporting universities throughout our service areas and we are a longstanding supporter of Clemson University,” said Bruce Brumfield, Founders president and CEO. “This enhanced partnership will allow us to become an integral part of both the athletic and the on-campus Clemson experience.”
Additionally, Founders will enhance life on campus for Clemson students through its active sponsorship of major events and programs year-round, including being a proud partner of Clemson’s new bike share program, supporter of Campus Recreation and more.
“We are very excited that Founders is expanding its partnership with Clemson and enhancing campus life by investing in sponsorships for programs and events like homecoming, orientation, move-in weekend and welcome back week,” said Almeda Jacks, vice president for Student Affairs.
This partnership is one of the first major Total Campus Marketing partnerships signed since JMI Sports, operating as Clemson Sports & Campus Marketing, was named the long-term corporate sponsorship and multimedia rights partner for Clemson University earlier this year. The Founders agreement also includes a seven-year commitment to Coach Dabo Swinney’s All In Foundation.
Founders, the state’s largest credit union, has made a total commitment of nearly $6 million over seven years to sponsorship investments in Clemson Athletics and Clemson University, according to Morris.
