THE PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS, TEAMS, AND ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPLEMENT THE COST OF PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS BASED ON THE ECONOMIC STATUS OF INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE BARRIER OF PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETICS DUE TO THE INABILITY OF PARTICIPANTS, OR THEIR PARENTS, TO COVER THE NECESSARY EXPENSES TO PARTICIPATE.

Caris Sports Foundation, founded in 2019, provides financial aid to K-12 student-athletes in Arizona so they can participate in recreational and competitive sports programs. The organization removes financial barriers such as team fees, equipment, and travel costs, ensuring that economic status does not prevent youth from accessing the physical, emotional, and social benefits of organized sports. While currently operating in Arizona, the foundation plans to expand to other regions.
