USBC and Canva announce agreement for visual communication platform access for Associations

ARLINGTON, Texas – The United States Bowling Congress is partnering with Canva to provide USBC-funded access to its visual communication platform for state and local associations, enabling them to leverage Canva’s all-in-one content creation tools at no cost.

Canva is a user-friendly online visual communication platform used to create social media graphics, presentations, videos, documents, whiteboards, webpages, posters and other visual content. With drag-and-drop tools and thousands of templates, Canva makes it easy to create professional-quality content without specialized design experience.

This investment by USBC in its state and local associations services includes free access to the Canva Enterprise platform. Canva’s visual suite will allow associations to enhance content, boost productivity, simplify workflows and eliminate design costs through a centralized, easy-to-use platform.

Canva’s Enterprise account features a “Brand Kit” that allows users within the organization to access brand templates, logos and other assets created by USBC to ensure users have access to the proper organizational information and tools when creating communications.

This tool will be especially useful for state and local associations as it will allow them to maintain brand consistency and create approved, on-brand designs instantly, no matter the location of the association.

The Brand Kit is just one of many hands-on tools the Canva platform features, all designed to improve efficiency and make the entire graphic design process easy to navigate and manage.

“Our goal is to always support our local and state associations and give them every possible resource to be successful,” said USBC Executive Director Chad Murphy. “Investing in bowling at the local and state level makes perfect sense, and providing Canva as a free resource to our associations will allow them to easily create professional, on-brand content that elevates their presence and strengthens the sport at every level.”

The new Canva association offering was announced during the 2026 USBC Convention and Annual Meeting, and associations in attendance were able to register for an account onsite.

All associations will receive follow-up communication on the Canva offering and can also reach out to their Field Services Manager for more information.
