Who We Are
Sports Fun(d) is a partnership that includes the Louisville Sports Commission, local philanthropists, and numerous local sports programs, and health and wellness organizations with a vision to provide more sports opportunities for more kids in more places.
Working Together
The Sports Fun(d) is overseen by the Louisville Sports Commission, a Kentucky-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was founded in 1999 to create a legacy of economic and social vitality in our community through sports. Through a collaborative effort, we will achieve our mission to maximize the positive impact of sports participation for local youth by generating resources and creating community connections that support affordable and sustainable sports opportunities.
