Advancing Equity Through Movement, Learning, and Opportunity
The Foundation for Global Sports Development (GSD) is proud to support 501(c)(3) organizations across the United States—and international partners—that are advancing health, education, and equity through fitness, public health, and enrichment programs.
We believe that movement and learning are powerful tools to inspire growth, connection, and long-term social change. Our funding supports programs that uplift communities, open pathways to opportunity, and address deep-rooted disparities, especially for youth and populations historically underserved.
From grassroots sports initiatives to educational development programs, we focus on creating meaningful, sustainable impact—particularly in communities facing systemic barriers or heightened risk. Together, we’re building a world where every young person has the chance to thrive.
