DISCOVER
OUR PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD
The Coach Foundation partners with nonprofits that provide opportunity through access to higher education. Expand below to learn more about our partners.
Since 2008, we’ve given more than $50 million to nonprofit partners all over the world to do our small part to make big dreams possible.
The Opportunity Network ignites the drive, curiosity, and agency of underrepresented students on their paths to and through college and into thriving careers, powered by our commitment to access and community.
Year Up works to close the opportunity divide by ensuring that young adults gain the skills, experiences, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through meaningful careers and higher education.
Bottom Line helps first-generation students from low-income backgrounds get into college, graduate, and go far in life.
China Youth Development Foundation helps young people in China improve their potential for growth through aid, services and social advocacy that give voice to the interests of young people.
Katariba provides future readiness classes to over 30,000 students across Japan, helping to create a better future for Japanese youth.
UK Youth is a network of local youth organizations that provide young people with the skills they need to thrive at every stage of their lives.
Inspired by the spirit of New York, our hometown since 1941, Coach celebrates the courage to be real. But we recognize that for some, there are systemic barriers to achieving their dreams. We believe that by providing young people with access to higher education, we can help break down those barriers for all.
Grounded in our belief that all should be empowered to be their true selves, we help students discover their paths and purpose so they can live authentically—and inspire others to do the same.
