H&R Block announces the return of it’s NIL program, A Fair Shot.

Female college athletes are only getting 23% of #NIL compensation. We’re sponsoring 50 female student athletes to help close the gap and give them #AFairShot: https://t.co/PaoDwA1kkw pic.twitter.com/OaDHKPg0lE

— H&R Block (@HRBlock) March 8, 2023

The program launched last year, to champion gender equity in name, image, and likeness NIL deals, and to highlight the tax implications of NIL income. This year, the company teams with Fabletics and Jambys to bring greater awareness of the disparity in NIL sponsorships of female student athletes in comparison to their male counterparts. Building on the success of the program’s inaugural year, which supported 19 female college athletes, H&R Block’s 2023 program now expands to celebrate 50 athletes from 13 different sports, including track & field, lacrosse, rowing, tennis, field hockey, ice hockey, and more, some of which are under-represented in the NIL space. The program now also includes NCAA Division II and Division III schools, as well as Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

In a released statement from H&R Block, Zia Cook, a guard on the National Champion University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball team and returning A Fair Shot alumna says, “I’m proud to team up with H&R Block again for A Fair Shot and welcome new athletes into the mix. As we continue to navigate this male-dominated space, it’s really impressive that a brand like H&R Block is so supportive in not only spreading awareness for NIL equity in college sports, but also helping athletes understand the tax implications of the money we’re earning.”

In addition to sponsorships, H&R Block is helping these athletes navigate the unique tax implications of NIL, many for the first time, by providing tax preparation services and support on key tax decisions resulting from this new income.
