Apply for your club's affiliation (sanctioning) with your association, come back to finish an application later, and follow it through to approval.
- Your association runs the process. It sets the questions, fees and approval steps, and sends you the link. Your club can apply only if its association runs club affiliation on Uplifter.
- You can stop and come back. An unfinished application stays saved as Incomplete. Open the same link and continue where you left off.
- Choose your fee option carefully. Your answer can decide whether your club collects fees through Uplifter. Changing it after you submit needs Uplifter and may carry a fee.
- Approval comes from your association, not Uplifter. The status and the association’s notes show on your Club Dashboard.
- The Listing Date controls the directory. An approved application has Valid From and Valid To dates, and your club shows in the association’s directory only between them.
Apply for club affiliation with your association: fill in your club’s listing, answer the application questions, pay any fee and submit it for approval.
-
Open the application
Sign in to your account, then open the affiliation link your association sent you. If your club already has a Club Dashboard, you can start from its Dashboard tab instead: select + Affiliation at the bottom of the tab and pick your association’s process. An application started there is paired with that dashboard.
-
Fill in your listing
The listing is your club’s record: its name, address and contact information. What’s asked depends on your association. To reuse an earlier listing, choose Copy from an existing listing or continue an existing application, search for it and copy it into a new application. Select Save Listing.
-
Choose a classification and add links
Pick the classification that fits your club, so people can find it in the association’s directory, and add your social media links. The classifications come from your association. Continue to the next stage.
-
Choose your application process
If your association offers more than one, pick the one that fits your club, for example whether you collect fees through Uplifter. Confirm or edit your contact address. If you applied through the same process before, you can bring your previous answers into this application.
-
Answer the questions
Complete and save every section. When all sections are saved, a summary of the costs appears.
-
Pay and submit
Select Pay Online or Proceed to card. Sign any waivers you’re asked to sign, then pay in the cart and complete your order. Your application goes to your association for review.
Finish an application later
Sign in and open the same affiliation link. Choose Copy from an existing listing or continue an existing application, select the incomplete or not-started application and select Continue with application. Carry on from where you stopped.
Get your application approved
Your application shows one of three statuses:
- Incomplete: it’s started but not finished, or not paid yet.
- Waiting for approval: it’s submitted and paid, and your association is reviewing it.
- Approved: your association has approved it.
Your association may email you or add notes if something is missing. The status and notes show in the Affiliation / Sanctioning panel on your Club Dashboard’s Dashboard tab. Once your association approves, Uplifter activates your Club Dashboard. If your members buy their association membership with their club registration, Uplifter also connects your dashboard to that membership purchase before you go live.
If something doesn’t work, contact Uplifter Support with the affiliation link you’re using and the email address you sign in with.
