Caitlin’s passion and joy on the court inspire her Foundation’s work off the court. The Caitlin Clark Foundation’s mission is to uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition, and sports—three pillars Caitlin believes were foundational in her own success.
ABOUT
Our Mission
To uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition, and sports.
Our Three Pillars
EDUCATION
Education unlocks opportunity—and we want children to have the support and encouragement that make learning possible. We invest in students and educators who are building environments where kids are equipped to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
NUTRITION
No child should have to learn or play on an empty stomach. Proper nutrition is essential to everything we do. We support programs that provide consistent access to healthy meals and resources for families so kids can grow strong in every area of life.
SPORTS
Sports shape character. On the court or the field, young people learn discipline, teamwork, and resilience. We create access to sports for kids and communities, giving them the space to build confidence and develop skills that last a lifetime.
Our Vision
A world where every child has the resources, support, and encouragement to reach their full potential—on and off the court.

Dan Keough has known Caitlin since her childhood as a close family friend. He admires Caitlin’s passion for sport, a value he shares deeply, and she in turn values his business insight and dedication to healthy living. A cancer survivor, Dan has long been a quiet supporter and fan; Caitlin even wore his name on her jersey in tribute during a special moment. He and his wife, Nicolette, embody resilience, mentorship, and community support—qualities that have helped shape Caitlin and will help shape the future of the Foundation.
Dickson Jensen has known Caitlin since sixth grade through their AAU team, All Iowa Attack, where Caitlin began training under his coaching. He played a key role in her development as a gifted athlete, teaching her discipline, skill and the importance of sportsmanship. Dickson’s philanthropic spirit and example helped shape Caitlin not only as a player but as a person. His wife, Luann, has also been part of that support network, reflecting their shared belief in cultivating future generations.
