Safe homes.
Stronger futures.
We fund urgent home repairs, crisis grants, and the first steps into work, study and sport for families facing hardship. Every grant is assessed by a real person and paid to a verified need.
Four programmes. One goal: nobody stays stuck.
An unsafe home, an unexpected bill, no laptop for a college course, or no boots for the team. Small problems compound into crises. We fund the fix.

Kit, club fees, travel and coaching so money never keeps a young person from an underprivileged background off the field.
Founded by the Jets. Backed by the best.
The New York Jets established the foundation and fund its core programmes. The Home Depot powers Safe Homes with materials, tools and volunteers. Mailchimp backs Pathways and keeps every supporter in the loop.
