Your gift. Their game. Lasting impact.
At Equal Play Foundation, your contribution creates immediate, visible access to opportunity for children across New England. We turn generosity into access, and access into lasting impact for kids and their communities. Join us in making a real difference today.
Why your contribution matters
When you donate to Equal Play Foundation, your support goes directly to where it's needed most. Your generosity ensures a child can safely and confidently participate by paying for essential sports equipment and covering registration and league fees that might otherwise keep them off the field. This means kids can play for a full season, benefit from the physical, social, and emotional gains of organized sports, and strengthen local teams through consistent participation. Your donation removes financial stress for families and provides tangible outcomes: a child gets to join a team, stay engaged, and truly belong.
Funding real needs on the field
Donations to Equal Play Foundation are intentionally directed toward clear, practical needs that eliminate cost as a barrier to participation. Specifically, your contributions help fund: sports equipment and gear like cleats, uniforms, shin guards, and safety equipment; registration, league, and club fees for school and community teams; season-long participation support to keep kids engaged; program and event support for clinics and community sports days; and targeted scholarships and grants for families facing financial hardship. Every dollar is tied to access, moving children from the sidelines into structured, supportive sports environments where they can play, grow, and belong.
