We Will Collective has a simple mission: to support student-athletes that share our passion for the Cyclones and encourage them to be community-minded.

Since the inception of the We Will Collective, our student-athletes have partnered with over 30 local non-profits and charity organizations around central Iowa. Examples of local partnerships include:

Make-A-Wish
Special Olympics
Central Iowa Youth and Shelter Services
Food at First

Generous donors at all levels help pair student-athletes with an NIL venture at a local nonprofit.

We Will consists of two entities:

We Will Collective and the
We Will Club

We Will Collective

The We Will Collective is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, governed by a volunteer board. The board is made up of Iowa State alums and former staff, who give their time, energy, and resources to help We Will Collective become a force for good in our community. We believe that NIL should be used to grow the character of athletes and to benefit our communities. The We Will Collective is a way to uphold our values as Cyclones, while still competing in the new era of college athletics.

We Will Club

As a We Will Club member, you’ll have the opportunity to attend exclusive events in-person where the athletes will be signing autographs, taking pictures, and interacting with members of the We Will Club. You will also have access to Iowa State NIL related, exclusive merchandise from Iowa based partners. 90% of every dollar generated through the We Will Club will go directly to athletes, and the remaining 10% will cover costs related to creating events for student-athletes and fans.
