Building strength, resilience, and focus through sport, adventure, and fitness.
Who We are
Field & Focus Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-operating private foundation established to responsibly deploy charitable capital in ways that expand access to sports, outdoor recreation, and physical fitness. We believe these disciplines are proven tools for character development, mental resilience, and long-term personal well-being. Field & Focus was built with a governance-first, growth-second mindset. We are intentionally small, board-led, and disciplined in both structure and execution
