About Us
Mission & Values
The mission of Foundation IX is to increase girls’ participation in sport and organized fitness activity by eliminating cost as a barrier.
While emphasis is traditionally placed on excellence, we believe that participation in sport and fitness activities holds values and skills that can be applied to all aspects of life. We will encourage the rate of girls’ participation by providing funds for fees and equipment costs to those in need as well as reward girls who demonstrate the benefits of participation with post-secondary academic scholarships; encouraging future generations.
Programs
- Provide funds to initiate or maintain active participation in sport and organized fitness activities for girls through individual grants as well as group grants for the organizations who provide those activities.
- Provide post-secondary educational scholarships to girls who have participated in sport or organized fitness activities. (Coming soon!)
- Provide information and personal histories surrounding the Title IX timeline in order to educate further generations. In addition, we will provide informational education about Title IX, a federal sex discrimination law, and its impact on the lives of girls and women.
Highlights
Since November 2007, Foundation IX has given grants to 125 girls totaling nearly $40,000 across the State of Minnesota.
