About Gaels Nation

Gaels Nation is the exclusive NIL Collective recognized by Iona University. Gaels Nation was founded by Iona University alumni to provide Impact, Opportunity, Navigation, and Access to Gael student-athletes that enable them to accelerate their career growth and maximize their personal value as a Gael.

  • Gaels Nation offers customized membership packages at all levels for business/organization supporters and individual supporters of Iona University athletics. Beyond an endorsement or event, there are even more ways to be part of the excitement! From recurring memberships to one-time contributions in support of a team or student-athlete, both businesses/organizations and individuals are invited to explore what’s possible.

  • The Gaels Nation NIL collective keeps operating costs at a minimum, ensuring as much money as possible goes directly toward supporting Iona’s student-athletes and/or teams.

“The spirit, community and enthusiasm surrounding Iona’s Athletics programs is truly remarkable and only continues to grow. Working closely with leading coaches such as men’s basketball head coach Tobin Anderson and many others, we continue to make Iona University a top destination for student-athletes across the country and around the world. The Gaels Nation NIL collective adds an integral and important new component to support our efforts.”
