First & Gold Foundation

SUCCESS STARTS HERE

At First & Gold Foundation, we use football as more than a game. We use it as a movement. A movement to build leaders, create opportunity, and give every kid a fair shot at success, on the field, in the classroom, and in life.

We know the reality:
Youth sports are getting expensive.
Access is getting harder.
And too many talented kids are getting left out — not because they lack skill, but because they lack opportunity.

That’s where we step in.

MISSION

We exist to use football as the foundation for leadership and success.

VISION

A world where every young athlete has equal access to play, grow, and thrive through the game of football.

GOAL

To break down barriers by providing opportunities that prepare players for success beyond the game.

BLITZING BARRIERS. DRIVING DREAMS.

We strive to ensure that every child, regardless of background or circumstance, has the chance to reach their full potential and achieve success in football and in life.

The average family spends $693 per child, per year on youth sports

Only 42% of youth meet the recommended amount of physical activity

Financial barriers prevent 1 in 5 children participate in organized sports
