We believe everyone should be able to play sports, but children from underserved communities often miss out on this opportunity. That’s why we created FundPlay, which provides technology, training, and support to sports-based youth development organizations across the country.
Our commitment
Every dollar spent on our platform helps fund kids who need it most to play sports. We've pledged 1% of our revenue to impact 500,000 kids by the end of 2022.
HOW WE'RE MAKING SPORT ACCESSIBLE
technoloy
We provide sport-based youth development organizations with free software licenses, cash grants, and professional development in order to ensure accessibility for all.
Community
By facilitating collaboration between club and travel organizations, pro leagues and teams, and sports-based youth development organizations, we are engaging our community to address issues of accessibility and participation.
Advocacy
We use our voice and actions to advocate for our core beliefs about what youth sports of the future should be. Our recognition as 2019 Project Play Champions and our role on the steering committee of the PLAY Sports Coalition exemplify our work advocating for those beliefs.
