Global Sports Foundation Idaho (EIN: 93-1609831) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fostering positive youth development, healthy lifestyles, and character growth through organized sports in the Treasure Valley. Operating through our primary training arm, Global Sports Academy (GSA), we currently serve 400 youth athletes across Ada and Canyon counties.

As the population in the Treasure Valley expands rapidly, the barrier to entry for competitive and recreational youth sports has risen significantly due to increasing club registration fees, facility lease costs, and specialized equipment expenses. To ensure that economic status never dictates an athlete’s access to elite coaching, character development, and healthy athletic competition, Global Sports Foundation Idaho seeks grant funding between $1,500 and $50,000 to fulfill a critical $91,000–$97,000 annual operational expansion goal.

Funding will directly support three vital pillars:

1. $50,000 for Financial Hardship Scholarships: Removing financial barriers for under-resourced families.

2. $30,000-$40,000 for Field/Court Leases: Securing consistent, high-quality, and safe training venues across Ada and Canyon counties.

3. $17,000-$20,000 for Field Management & Safety Equipment: Maintaining facilities and providing essential training and safety gear.
