A National 501(c)(3) Nonprofit

EST. 2016

For the kids.
Through the nonprofits
doing the work.

The Fair Catch Foundation exists to expand what's possible for the next generation. Through signature events, individual donors, and corporate partners, we turn generosity into grants for the nonprofit organizations creating real opportunity for underserved and deserving youth across the country.

Our Mission

We fuel the people
doing the work.

The Fair Catch Foundation logo

The Fair Catch Foundation was started by David and Chondra Mulugheta to expand opportunity for the next generation. Our role is to bring together the people, partners, and resources that fuel the nonprofit organizations already changing young lives in communities across the country.

We do that in two ways. Signature events like Celebrity Waiter Night bring athletes, fans, and corporate partners together in celebration of a shared purpose. Individual and corporate donors help us extend that reach year-round. Every dollar becomes a grant for a partner nonprofit — the people closest to the work, in the communities that need it most.

“When we put resources behind the organizations already doing the work, every dollar goes further — and every kid feels it.”

— The Fair Catch Foundation

How we work

Three pillars. One mission.

Raise the money. Fund the nonprofits. Show up for the long haul.

01

Direct Grants

We channel every dollar raised into direct grants for the nonprofit organizations already serving underserved and deserving youth on the ground.

02

Signature Fundraising

Signature events like Celebrity Waiter Night rally athletes, fans, and corporate partners for one purpose — expanding opportunity by fueling the charities doing the work.

03

Long-Term Partnership

We show up for the nonprofits we fund year after year — building lasting relationships in the communities that need it most.

Our Primary Mission

Real investment in the people doing the work.

We invest in the local charitable organizations already creating opportunity on the ground — like our $75,000 grant to Future Stars of AZ — so every gift becomes lasting possibility for the kids and communities that need it most.
