As youth sports become increasingly privatized, many low-income families arepriced out of participating, so FFC unites local business, education, government, and philanthropic leaders to ensure more kids can access the life-changing power sports. FFC coordinates a member network of the city’s 37 top youth-serving programs, supplying them with grant funding and operational support to scale their work. At Youth Sports Days and Town Halls, member organizations convene with pro sports teams, policymakers, businesses, funders, and community members to share resources and solutions to common challenges. Students try a wide range of sports for free and can seek additional injury prevention, rehabilitation, and mental health support at FFC’s Sports Medicine Center. By backing the teams behind the teams, FFC aligns leaders and expertise for systems-level change so that all young people can thrive.
