About MICHIGAN SPORTS ACADEMIES FOUNDATION

Michigan Sports Academies Foundation is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm affiliated with Michigan Sports Academies that works to reduce financial barriers to organized youth sport across West Michigan. Its stated ethos mirrors the parent organization’s motto — "Teach. Life. Sport." — focusing on athletic instruction that builds character and life skills.

The foundation provides need-based financial assistance and scholarship support so families can access Michigan Futbol Academy, Michigan Basketball Academy, Michigan Volleyball Academy, camps, clinics and league play. The parent organization operates multiple state-of-the-art facilities and serves several thousand athletes annually; the foundation has reported directly supporting families and athletes through scholarship awards in recent years.

The organization is an active, donor-facing charity with a confirmed EIN (82-2569262) and a record of annual Form 990 filings. In the last 2–3 years the organization has been involved in program expansion and community partnerships that increased local youth-sport opportunities while continuing its scholarship work.
