The Joy Fund
We are dedicated to expanding opportunity, advancing wellbeing, and strengthening communities through education, health, sports and recreation, storytelling, and community-based initiatives. Building on a longstanding commitment to the positive role of sports in individual and community life, our work is grounded in the belief that people thrive when they have access to the knowledge, resources, relationships, and support they need. Across different stages of life and areas of need, we aim to help create conditions for greater dignity, connection, resilience, and possibility.
