What Pro Players Foundation does

Pro Players Foundation, Inc. (PPF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation (Tax ID#20-8716366) headquartered in Southlake, Texas, with an additional site in Grapevine used for internship placements. The organization enriches the lives of children in need across North Texas — including Dallas, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and South Dallas — serving underserved youth, victims of catastrophic illness or injury, victims of abuse and sex trafficking, and physically and mentally challenged children. PPF delivers four core programs: Big Bike Build (bikes and helmets for children ages 3-5 at $100 per child), Gameplan (technology-enriched educational centers to bridge the digital divide), Instant RePlay (playgrounds, courts, and sports facilities at community partner sites), and Kids in Need/KIN (direct family assistance for crisis situations, routed through nonprofit partners such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County, Youth World, and Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex).

The foundation is powered by partnerships with all four major DFW professional sports franchises — Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, and Rangers — whose executives sit on PPF's Advisory Board, alongside leadership from 7-Eleven, QuikTrip, Dell, Lowes, Sewell, Frost Bank, and others. Revenue is generated through charitable donations (one-time and recurring via PayPal), corporate sponsorships, two annual fundraising events (SitePro Fiesta on the Fairway golf tournament and SitePro Sporting Clays Challenge), direct program sponsorships (Sponsor a Bike), and a passive AmazonSmile affiliate stream that returns 0.5% of qualifying Amazon purchases to PPF. Distribution occurs through direct program delivery, where corporate partners host volunteer build events at their own locations, creating a distributed field-delivery model with minimal PPF-owned infrastructure. No proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and no public revenue or headcount figures are disclosed; the organization relies on a standard WordPress website and PayPal/Eventbrite/Square payment infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Make-A-Wish North Texas: A North Texas children's charity operating with a similar regional footprint, corporate sponsor model, and event-driven fundraising approach. Comparable in serving North Texas children in need, though focused on critically-ill children rather than broad youth services.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County: A core beneficiary partner of PPF that received renovated STEM spaces, career exploration classrooms, and gymnasiums. Operates in the same North Texas geography serving similar underserved youth with overlapping programming in education, sports, and mentoring.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Texas: A North Texas youth development nonprofit using similar volunteer-driven, corporate-sponsored models to serve underserved youth in Dallas-Fort Worth. Comparable donor base, geography, and youth-mentoring mission overlap.
• Dallas Mavericks Foundation: The charitable arm of the Dallas Mavericks NBA franchise, operating in the same North Texas geography with overlapping Advisory Board representation (Katie Edwards sits on both PPF and Mavs Foundation). Directly comparable mission, sponsor pool, and beneficiary base.
• Dallas Stars Foundation: The charitable arm of the Dallas Stars NHL franchise, with Brad Alberts (President) overlapping onto PPF's Advisory Board. Directly comparable pro-sports-aligned youth charity operating in the same geography.
• Mission Arlington / Mission Metroplex: A North Texas community-services nonprofit partner that received playgrounds at three locations from PPF. Operates in the same geography serving materially overlapping beneficiary populations (underserved families, at-risk children).
• Dallas Cowboys Charities: The charitable arm of the Dallas Cowboys NFL franchise, sharing the same North Texas market, the same pro-sports brand association model, and overlapping leadership (Jason Cohen, General Counsel, sits on both PPF Advisory Board and Cowboys community efforts).
• Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation: The charitable arm of the Texas Rangers MLB franchise, with Rob Matwick (EVP Business Operations) overlapping onto PPF's Advisory Board. Comparable sports-foundation fundraising model serving North Texas children and families.

Emerging players

• C5 Youth Foundation of Texas: A youth development nonprofit focused on under-resourced teens in select U.S. geographies, including Texas programs. Comparable in mission (youth enrichment) and beneficiary demographic, though with a more intensive leadership-development focus than PPF's direct-aid model.

Broad incumbents

• United Way of Metropolitan Dallas: A large, established community foundation operating across North Texas with a far broader portfolio of programs and corporate relationships. Comparable as a regional fundraising and grant-making nonprofit, though it is a much larger incumbent spanning health, education, and financial stability rather than sports-tied youth programming.
