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.
OUR WHY
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.

young people discover their paths and purpose.
