About this organization
Mission
The Women’s Sports Foundation was established in 1974 to advance the lives of women and girls through sports and physical activity. Our mission today - we are dedicated to creating leaders by ensuring girls access to sports. We provide financial fuel to aspiring champion athletes. We fund groundbreaking research. We educate. We advocate. And we help communities get girls active.
About
Engagement and retention of girls in sport is a top priority. We provide tools and technical assistance to support coaches, parents, administrators and community leaders to strengthen recruitment, engagement and quality of programming for girls. The centerpiece of our community impact work is our Sports 4 Life program that helps increase participation and retention of African-American and Hispanic girls in developmental youth sports programs. Our curriculum, GoGirlGo continues to serve as a primary education tool to improve the health of sedentary girls. Travel & Training Fund is a national program that provides accomplished female athletes with funding to reduce financial obstacles.
