What ePaństwo Foundation does

Everybody Plays Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2016 and operating in the Midwest United States (Chicago, Illinois area based on timezone and Guidestar registration 20-5383648). The foundation delivers recreational education to elementary and secondary students through extracurricular and school-based programs, teaching outdoor recreation skills including kayaking, archery, paddleboarding, track, hiking, fishing, and camping alongside character development and team-building content.

The core product suite consists of four program formats: an In-School Mentoring Program (8-12 week sessions, one session per week, 10-20 students, including 2-3 outdoor field trips with one overnight camping component); an Afterschool Mentoring Program offered in two intensities (1 session/week or 4 sessions/week, 10-30 students); a 4-session Camping Workshop culminating in an overnight trip; and 2-Day Team Building Workshops combining a skills session with an outdoor recreation field trip. There is no proprietary technology platform; program delivery is entirely in-person through school partnerships. Lightweight consumer tools (Google Forms for volunteer sign-up, an embedded Google Calendar for event visibility) support administration.

Revenue mechanics are consistent with a small charity: no fees are charged to students or schools, and operations are funded by individual donations and corporate sponsorships. The website lists 11 sponsors (Backpacker, Jarreau, HOW Wildlife, Marathon, Lulu, MW, Nemire, State Parks, Spectrum, Varsity, Yolo), and Guidestar registration confirms 501(c)(3) public-charity status. The foundation reports having served more than 500 students cumulatively and is operationally active with ongoing programs and event scheduling. (Note: the input firmographics block describes a separate entity in Poland under the name 'ePaństwo Foundation'; the substantive evidence above is from the first-party website and detailed product data identifying the entity as Everybody Plays Foundation.)
