Our Story
Equalizing the playing field for youth sports: a movement born in 2015.
The Story of FundPlay Foundation
2015
In 2015, LeagueApps created the FundPlay program to make sports more accessible to all kids. FundPlay focused on supporting community-based youth sports programs running free or low-cost sports in underserved communities.
In October 2015, RallyCap Sports received the first-ever FundPlay software grant.

In 2016, LeagueApps hosted its first charity basketball tournament Ballin’ for Charity, bringing together the NYC sports and tech communities to benefit FundPlay. From 2016-2019, Ballin' for Charity raised $100,000 for FundPlay to support its growth and expand its benefits to its partners.
2019
LeagueApps pledged 1% of its revenues to FundPlay with the goal of impacting 500,000 underserved youth by the end of 2022. FundPlay helped LeagueApps exceed its goal, impacting more than 525,000 kids in that timeframe.

In addition to our software grants program and entering into the advocacy space, during this time FundPlay Foundation raised money to build safe and accessible places for youth to play. We funded an indoor mini pitch in the South Bronx and helped to revitalized two baseball/softball fields in Inglewood, California.
