Ideal Applicant
A community-based nonprofit using sport to support youth development, ideally with an established track record and programs in places the funder already supports (notably Illinois/Chicago).
Good Fit
- • Sport-based youth development mission aligned with Laureus USA’s stated focus.
- • Organizational presence or programs in Illinois or other states the foundation funds.
- • Established program track record and measurable youth outcomes.
- • Need for general operating support or program-level funding at the typical grant scale.
- • Existing introduction or relationship to a program officer or network connected to Laureus.
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached 15 states, so the footprint is multi-state; however funding is heavily concentrated in Illinois (53% of dollars).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 101 distinct recipients with low top-five dollar concentration (16%) and many independent community organizations, indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
The foundation funded new organizations in observed years (35 new in 2023 and 17 new in 2024) but does not publish a formal open application process and describes an invite-only pathway on its contact page, so new entrants are possible but not clearly solicited.
