What do the donations go towards?
At the Pass It Forward Foundation, every donation and grant is crucial in supporting our mission to provide transformative therapeutic sports, health, and wellness programs to youth across Los Angeles County. As a mobile nonprofit, we ensure that each contribution directly benefits our growing programs, while also working towards our goal of opening a permanent therapeutic sports facility in 2026.

Facility Rental & Reinvestment in Local Schools
As a mobile nonprofit, we rely on renting spaces such as gyms, sports fields, and community centers to host our programs. Until we open our permanent facility in 2026, we reinvest in the local schools where we operate by renting their gymnasiums and other spaces for our services. This ensures that we have the appropriate facilities while also supporting the schools and communities we serve.

Transportation for Youth Field Trips
A small portion of donations is allocated for transportation costs to facilitate youth field trips. These outings provide invaluable opportunities for experiential learning and team-building, contributing to a holistic therapeutic sports experience for participants.

Sports Equipment & Gear
The largest portion of donations goes toward purchasing essential sports equipment and gear. Thanks to our partnership with Good Sports, we are able to provide many of the necessary tools for our programs. However, due to the increasing demand for our services, we occasionally face shortfalls in meeting the equipment needs of all the youth who want to participate. Donations in this category help us fill that gap, ensuring all participants have the proper equipment to succeed.

Food & Nutrition
We are committed to supporting the overall health of the youth we serve. A significant portion of donations is dedicated to providing healthy, nutritious meals and snacks during our programs. Many of the children we work with face food insecurity, and providing these meals ensures they have the energy and focus necessary to fully participate in sports and wellness activities.
9%
Program Development & Administrative Costs
A portion of donations supports the development of new programming, staff training, and administrative functions. This includes curriculum creation, outreach efforts, and the daily operations that keep our nonprofit running efficiently. These investments ensure that we can continue to provide high-quality services and expand our impact.

Looking Ahead: Building a Permanent Space
While we currently operate as a mobile nonprofit, our goal is to open a permanent therapeutic sports, health, and wellness space in 2026. This facility will provide a consistent, year-round location for our programs and allow us to serve even more youth in the community. Your support plays a vital role in helping us achieve this vision.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us Pass It Forward. Together, we can continue making a meaningful impact on the lives of youth across Los Angeles.
