It was an honour to present our first Patron Saint Award to our first Patron Saint Investors: the members and the board of St Mirren Independent Supporters Association (SMiSA).
“SMISA has been proud to support the St Mirren Charitable Foundation for many years now. We previously helped Gayle and her team on an ad-hoc basis through our former £2 Spend Ballot, allowing them to run a number of projects including Festive Friends and Football Fans in Training.“Our financial model has altered since we became owners of the club in July 2021. Instead of banking our members’ financial contributions to buy shares, we now use those funds to support other causes. Ten percent of our net revenue now goes directly to the Foundation each year to help with all the excellent work they do in the local community and beyond.“We are, therefore, honoured to be the Foundation’s first Patron Saint. As a fan-owned club, our responsibilities and sense of duty stretch far beyond what happens on the pitch on a Saturday and the Foundation is the best vehicle to deliver that.”
This partnership agreement is sustainable and rewarding for our local community. Thank you for your incredible support in everything we do! To find out more information about SMiSA or become a member, please visit https://www.smisa.net/signup
