PROGRAMS

Programs That Reflect the Mission

Every program supported by the Caitlin Clark Foundation is intentionally chosen by Caitlin to advance one of our pillars:

EDUCATION • NUTRITION • SPORTS

Education

Creating confidence in the classroom and beyond.

Education opens the door to opportunity. Through books, school supplies, learning resources, and support for educators, we help students stay engaged and equipped for what’s ahead.

From a backpack full of supplies to a book that sparks a love of reading, our education programs are built to help kids believe in what’s possible.

Local Backpack Initiative

BACK TO SCHOOL. BUILT FOR CONFIDENCE.

Through partnerships with local organizations and schools, hundreds of students have received backpacks filled with essential back-to-school supplies. What began as a simple act of support has become a growing tradition—one that continues to remove barriers and create opportunity where it’s needed most.

TURNING PAGES. HEALING HEARTS.

Hospital stays can feel long, difficult, and uncertain for kids. Turning Pages, Healing Hearts was created to bring moments of comfort and connection back into their day. Through this program, pediatric patients earn tokens they can use to choose their own books from on-site vending machines—transforming a difficult moment into something hopeful.

A National Reading Movement

UNITED STATES OF READERS

In partnership with Scholastic, the Caitlin Clark Foundation is expanding its commitment to literacy with the goal of bringing books, choice, and the joy of reading to students across the country. Through this initiative, students receive access to curated book selections and the opportunity to choose something they’re excited to read.

Nutrition

Helping kids grow strong and be ready.

No child should have to learn, play, or dream on an empty stomach.

Through food pantry support, meal access, and resources for families, our nutrition programs help meet one of the most basic needs kids face. When children are nourished, they are better prepared to show up, stay focused, and thrive in every area of life.

Sports

Creating places to play and confidence to carry forward.

Sports teach more than the game. They build discipline, teamwork, resilience, and confidence that transform lives and communities.

Through community courts, access to play, and sports-centered initiatives, we help create spaces where kids can compete and grow.

In Partnership with Musco Lighting

Building Courts. Building Community.

These aren’t just places to play. They’re places to gather. Located at Hiatt, Callanan, McCombs, and Weeks Middle Schools, these courts are already becoming the hubs of connection they are designed to be.

GRANTS THAT MOVE THE MISSION FORWARD

Supporting Kids, Families, and Communities

Through multiple grants, the Caitlin Clark Foundation has helped support young patients and families at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and Blank Children’s Hospital, and local community organizations. Each grant helps meet real needs and creates a lasting impact in the communities we care about.

Programs That Open Doors

Every child deserves the chance to learn with confidence, grow with support, and dream without limits.

The Caitlin Clark Foundation creates opportunities for kids through three core pillars: education, nutrition, and sports. Each program is designed to meet real needs, remove barriers, and help young people build a stronger future.

Because when kids have access to the right resources, the whole game changes.
