A Goal in Mind

 
 

Our goal is to raise $50,000 in 2022 to continue to create real and meaningful changes in the lives of young people through sports.  We hope you will join our team!

 

Philippine Heritage International: We awarded a grant to support the Philippines Women's National Water Polo Team and support water polo camps for village children in the Philippines.

The Swan Within: We have provided on-going support a non-profit program that teaches ballet to formerly sex-trafficked, incarcerated youth in juvenile detention facilities in Los Angeles County.

Equal Playing Field: We have supported girls' soccer clinics in Jordan in 2018 in collaboration with Equal Playing Field, a soccer nonprofit focusing on access for women and girls around the world.

Santa Monica Fastpitch: We helped players on a championship softball team in Santa Monica travel to a regional tournament that they could otherwise not afford to attend.

Community Collaboration for Ghana: Through a collaboration with El Segundo middle school students, we transported lightly-used, donated soccer equipment to village children in west Africa.

"In Search of Greatness": In a collaboration with the film makers, we hosted a screening of this sports documentary. We were able to invite 50 local youth soccer players and their families to attend the screening for free. We were also able to sponsor a screening at a Boys and Girls Club.

Guinness World Record Soccer Game: The NSF was proud to provide support to a six-year-old soccer player with special needs to participate in a Guinness World Record-setting soccer game during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup hosted in France.

First Partial Collegiate Scholarship: We offered a partial collegiate scholarship to the first African-American barrel racer to join the Fresno State rodeo team.

Annual Gala: We host an annual gala to honor individuals who have made important strides in youth sports and youth sports philanthropy. Past awardees have included Nicole Whiteman (Executive Director of the Dodgers Foundation) and Sam Lagana (LA Rams Stadium Announcer).

Crisis Intervention: We have been able to offer support to individual athletes and youth coaches going through personal crises. During the 2020 pandemic, we pivoted to provide donations to NO KID HUNGRY to support children during the economic setback.

Volleyball Facility at the Tetteh Ocloo State School for the Deaf in Ghana: We helped to support the development of the first sports facility at the State School for the Deaf in Ghana. We look forward to ongoing collaboration to build out more sports facilities.

 

Sports can address health and social inequalities.

 
 

Of the estimated 1 billion children living in poverty globally, about 15 million live in the United States.

Poverty is correlated to a range of adverse health outcomes and reduced likelihood of educational attainment.

While it is difficult to address the myriad of systemic factors related to poverty and social inequality, giving underserved children access to sports is an important intervention that can cut across confounding dynamics.

Each year, The Nartey Sports Foundation aims to raise $50,000 to support sports-related interventions for young people.  These funds will support specific opportunities for vulnerable children to change their perspectives and their lives through sports.

In addition to improving their physical health and reducing their risk of the top 10 health problems in America, playing sports will have a lasting mental and emotional impact.

The young athletes funded by the Nartey Sports foundation will have a chance to discover greater potential in themselves.  They will be given the chance to redefine who they are instead of being defined by their circumstances.

Learning discipline, determination, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship will better prepare them to achieve more as students and eventually as professionals.

We appreciate you support of this vision, and we look forward to working together to make a real difference.
