Our Mission

Every child deserves a place on the field.

Playing It Forward Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping kids in the game. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to participate in the sport they love, regardless of financial circumstances.

Our mission is to provide scholarships and financial assistance to youth athletes and families who may not otherwise be able to afford registration fees, equipment, travel, training, or other costs associated with sports participation. By removing financial barriers, we help young athletes stay active, build confidence, learn teamwork, and pursue their dreams.

In addition to supporting youth sports participation, we invest in the future of student-athletes through college scholarship opportunities that encourage academic achievement, leadership, and personal growth.

Our Purpose

Removing barriers. Building futures.

The purpose of Playing It Forward Foundation is to provide financial support and opportunities for youth athletes who may not have the resources to continue participating in the sports they love — and to encourage academic achievement through college scholarships for deserving student-athletes.

Confidence

Help young athletes stay active and discover what they're capable of.

Teamwork

Foster connection, leadership, and lifelong friendships through sport.

Discipline

Inspire the habits and grit that translate from the field to the classroom.

Education

Scholarships that reward academic achievement, leadership, and growth.

What We Cover

The costs that keep kids off the field.

We help families overcome the real expenses behind organized athletics — so the only thing standing between a kid and the game is their next practice.

Our Impact

Play. Grow. Compete. Build a brighter future.

Our purpose is simple: to ensure that every child has the opportunity to play, grow, compete, and build a brighter future — both on and off the field.
