The Program Foundation
“From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”
- Arthur Ashe
The Program Foundation is a registered 501c3 whose aim is to offer committed and deserving youth from underserved communities across the Tri-State area partial and full scholarships to The Program NYC and its membership offerings.
Via our foundation, we are able to award dozens of boys & girls - ages 8-16 - with annualized membership(s) that offer daily access to our world-class facility, training programs, coaches and network to help further develop these youth on and off the court.
Learn more below about some of the incredible youth who anchor our program thanks to our Foundation, and how you can get involved.
