Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s mission is to financially support programs that share its belief that participation in organized athletics enriches young lives and develops future community leaders. Its grant guidelines cover organized athletic programs for K–12 youth, with priority given to programs serving at-risk youth. Eligible program costs can include uniforms, equipment, coaching, facility rentals, entrance fees, team travel, player fees, and referees. The foundation also reports awarding scholarships to public school students who play golf and are involved in their communities.
Grantees’ stated missions illustrate the range of organizations receiving support. Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula describes its work as providing young people equitable access to social, academic, and career opportunities. SF Flame says it provides youth educational programming through sports, including basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Oakland Genesis describes providing after-school soccer and cost-free competitive soccer programming, alongside coaching, academic support, and mentorship.

Separately, the foundation reported funding 101 nonprofit organizations that year. Its grant guidelines say requests of up to $25,000 may be considered and give an average grant size of $9,500 for the last two years.
