“The sport for development field is greatly impacted by the Foundation because of the commitment to providing knowledge, resources, and opportunity for collaboration without adding extra burden on organizations. The approach taken allows for less "competitiveness" between organizations opening up the door for more collaboration.”

“The Mirnahill Foundation's processes are refreshingly straightforward, reflecting a trust-based approach that makes working with them a pleasure. Their emphasis on open and honest communication creates a collaborative environment, and their minimal application requirements make the process efficient and stress-free. The Foundation's willingness to trust and empower its partners fosters a strong, supportive relationship that is highly appreciated.”

“I'm constantly impressed by Mirnahill, the processes used, and particularly, the site visit engagement this year. Not only is the team ready with advice, ideas, and thoughtful commentary, but I'm impressed by their knowledge of the space, understanding of the needs of our organization, and the attention to detail.”

“The Foundation has had a tremendous impact on our organization and the broader sports-based youth development community. Their support not only empowers us to expand our programs and reach more young people but also demonstrates their genuine commitment to the field by taking actionable steps based on our recommendations. This approach amplifies their impact and fosters a network of organizations that are working together to create meaningful opportunities for youth in our community.”

“MNH clearly supports a really focused group of organizations that all work toward empowering youth through sports. The impact on the field is strong, and the focus on the Bay Area also emphasizes the specific community impacted. There is a really strong impact on our organization as well given the consistent and unrestricted funding.”

“The Foundation’s support has been transformative in addressing critical challenges within underserved communities, enabling us to create meaningful change in youth sports. By funding our efforts to train coaches, close the equity gap, and foster a positive youth sports culture, the Foundation is empowering us to directly impact the lives of young athletes who might otherwise lack access to these opportunities. By investing in these critical areas, they are not only strengthening our organization but also creating ripples of positive change in the communities we serve. Together, we are transforming youth sports into a powerful vehicle for equity, growth, and opportunity.”
