Mission: We find and facilitate the funding that helps kids from income-restricted families participate in youth sports so they, too, can experience the positive benefits of playing.
Results: Every Kid Sports is the only nonprofit that directly creates equity in youth sports participation, nationally. Today, only 22% of kids from income-restricted families are playing youth sports, with cost being the reason why. Over 13 years, Every Kid Sports has provided funding to over 150,000 kids to play youth sports. We want to ensure every kid is exposed to the pro-social behaviors learned through youth sports, the responsibility and commitment cultivated through their involvement, and the practicing of their individual emotional playbook through playing.
