Our Approach
Our Approach
We are committed to community-led and outcome-oriented programming developed in collaboration with our non-profit organizations. Many of the organizations we work with collaborate to tackle complex social issues. Through our investments, we support pathways for young people to lead healthy lives so they can pursue their definition of success. That’s at the core of everything we do. All through the power of sport.

New Balance Foundation builds on a 20+ year commitment to childhood obesity prevention and has evolved towards a broader focus on positive youth development.
We apply what we’ve learned through our work in this field and recognize the importance of high-intensity interventions. Now more than ever, we’re committed to improving health and fitness outcomes for young people. While our work is centered around sport, we understand the responsibility we have to supporting the whole child. The initiatives we favor are grounded in sport and include strong academic, career, nutrition, enrichment and overall health components. The organizations we invest in are committed to building deep and meaningful relationships with young people while addressing their greatest needs so they can achieve their goals. Our purpose is to provide the support community organizations need to make a lasting impact. We believe this is what defines us and sets us apart.
Our grantmaking philosophy is dynamic and forward-thinking. Our funding is designed to drive meaningful change and inspire organizations to reach new heights. We aim to encourage innovation and support organizations in expanding their impact.

We’re dedicated to making a tangible difference through our grants. Central to our mission is a commitment to access and equity. We work to ensure that the programs we fund address disparities and provide opportunities for all, including those from marginalized communities. We measure success not just by the funding we provide, but in the measurable outcomes our support helps to achieve.

We are active members of the communities we serve. By embedding ourselves within these communities, we cultivate lasting collaborations that foster mutual growth and success.
