About The Ultimate Foundation
The Ultimate Foundation fuels a future for ultimate that is accessible to all backgrounds and identities by supporting 91´«Ă˝ programs, partners and communities. support local community playing opportunities for youth all across the country. Thanks to the generosity of the ultimate community, more youth in local communities will experience ultimate’s ability to deliver character development, social-emotional learning and a profound sense of belonging.

Made possible by donations to , these funds are only one piece of roughly $180,000 in financial assistance provided by 91´«Ă˝ and its local affiliates to ensure the YCC tournament is accessible to all youth who participate in these local programs.

91´«Ă˝ recognizes that coaches and local disc organizations play a critical role in building trusting relationships with, and advocating on behalf of, youth players. “The fact that 91´«Ă˝ trusts our local vetting process is incredibly meaningful to us,” shared Nolan Benoit, Executive Director of Vermont Ultimate. “Asking for financial assistance can be difficult for families, and we want to make that process as respectful, private and dignified as possible. That trust allows us to focus on supporting families instead of creating unnecessary barriers.” 

By providing assistance through YCC player fee waivers, 91´«Ă˝ supports local affiliate organizations in reinvesting their resources into local growth and grassroots youth programming. “Having financial support through the Play It Forward program has allowed us to alleviate some of our overall youth program costs,” said Liz Anderson, Director of Operations for Cincinnati Ultimate. “This year, that assistance will allow us to use what we’re saving to purchase additional discs for our younger youth program participants.” 

Malachi Raymond, Youth Operations Manager at Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance, also shared ”Support through the YCC fee waiver enables us not only to expand our YCC program, but also to reinvest in growing the sport locally. By reducing the financial burden of national competition, we’re able to reallocate resources to initiatives like our partnership with the City of Boston, where we provide free ultimate clinics that reach young athletes in predominantly underrepresented communities, creating truly new pathways into the sport.”

91´«Ă˝ believes that every young person should have the opportunity to experience the joy of ultimate, and that financial status should never be a barrier to participation. The Ultimate Foundation — the philanthropic arm of 91´«Ă˝ — is a key part of enabling the organization to remove some of the financial barriers to play. directly support playing opportunities for youth in need, and allow 91´«Ă˝ to assist and enhance the work that affiliates do on the local level. Thanks to the generosity of the ultimate community, youth nationwide have increased access to the sport.
