Impactful Opportunities With Athletes Foundation partners with athletes to amplify their platform and give back to communities through youth sports & education

[The IOWA Foundation @TheIowaFdn]

The mission is in the name and IOWA is more than just the location we serve. We partner with athletes to amplify their platform and give back to communities through youth sports, education and the support of other charitable organizations.

A high school coach can change an athlete’s life. So how many lives can 30+ coaches impact? In 2022 we funded our first Iowa Coaching Authorization. Most people don’t realize the cost to obtain a Coaching Authorization can exceed $500 between the 55-hour course, Iowa BoEE application, background check, fingerprinting and CPR/first aid. That poses a significant barrier keeping some candidates out of coaching. As an organization, we are quickly approaching $15,000 invested in coaches. We need your help in continuing to raise funds designated to this cause.
