Mission and Program Overview
Mission
THE Foundation exists to help community charities. We do this by raising their profile and awareness to help them forge even stronger community partnerships and ultimately raising revenue. Our primary activities include providing brand ambassadors at no cost to the nonprofits. We provide access to Ohio State football and basketball players as brand ambassadors, setting up events that allow the nonprofits to tell their story and reach more people. Additionally, we provide our brand ambassadors to connect with the charities' constituents, helping them increase their profile and providing value to the charities at no cost. Additionally, we seek to forge long-term partnerships with the charities and brand ambassadors.
THE Foundation was built to help local charities by partnering with our brand ambassadors and leveraging their name, image, and likeness to help promote their mission.

Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G
“Brand Ambassadors were paid for services in furtherance of our exempt purpose. These services included appearance fees, speaking fees, promotion of nonprofit partner fees as well as engaging with our nonprofit partners. All of the program service accomplishments as described in Part III were accomplished by these Brand Ambassadors. In addition, the Brand Ambassadors indirectly help raise funds for us, so we allocated a percentage of their costs to fundraising. All contracts were based on fair market value of individual Brand Ambassadors.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | We provided brand ambassadors to raise awareness, increase the profile, and help raise resources for the following community nonprofit partners: LifeTown, Buckeye Cruise for Cancer, A Kid Again, After-School All-Stars, Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, USO, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Columbus Urban League. We had over fifty student-athlete brand ambassadors serving multiple charity partners. Our premiere event was our Summer Gala in August. We partnered with Buckeye Cruise for Cancer to help raise awareness for the James Cancer Hospital. The brand ambassadors spent quality time, signing autographs, throwing the football, and having conversations about leadership. We also had many appearances at Lifetown where our brand ambassadors worked with the kids who would go there to learn life skills. Many of these kids come from under-resourced backgrounds and some are mentally handicapped. Our brand ambassadors volunteered in each simulated store such as a bank, art store, movie theatre, pet shop, doctor's office, and salon. They taught the kids how to budget money, talk to a doctor, and use art in therapeutic ways. The kids love having the brand ambassadors around and they visit multiple times a year. Our Co-founder Cardale Jones had a charity softball game raising money for Ohio State's The James Cancer Center. Our brand ambassadors attended the game, signed autographs, and interacted with cancer patients. It was a meaningful experience for everyone who attended. We have also had the Boys and Grisl Club and USO visit our brand ambassadors during practice. We had a football free kids football camp as well hosted by THE Foundation and our brand ambassadors played football with kids who are underprivileged. Many of our brand ambassadors visit the Nationwide Children's hospital on a frequent basis and they worked with the kids during The Memorial Golf Tournament at a golf clinic with Jack Nicklaus. We also hosted a Summer Big Brothers Big Sisters basketball shootout with our brand ambassadors. During Christmas, we had a gift-wrapping and delivery project by our brand ambassadors to kids who are terminally ill through the A Kid Again charity partner. This was a great way for our brand ambassadors to get out in the community and put a smile on many kids' faces. Our programs have already helped so many kids who, despite their struggles, look up to our brand ambassadors and we give them the opportunity to be together. Our brand ambassadors also love this experience as well. In addition to serving the nonprofit partners, we teach our brand ambassadors business and life skills including branding, marketing, accounting, contracts, taxes, and the importance of giving back to their community. Our ultimate mission is to forge life-long relationships between our brand ambassadors and our charity partners creating a lifetime of impact. |

| IRS990/MissionDesc | 0 | THE Foundation exists to help community charities. We do this by raising their profile and awareness to help them forge even stronger community partnerships and ultimately raising revenue. Our primary activities include providing brand ambassadors at no cost to the nonprofits. We provide access to Ohio State football and basketball players as brand ambassadors, setting up events that allow the nonprofits to tell their story and reach more people. Additionally, we provide our brand ambassadors to connect with the charities' constituents, helping them increase their profile and providing value to the charities at no cost. Additionally, we seek to forge long-term partnerships with the charities and brand ambassadors. In 2024, we partnered with an LLC to handle any business deals that were not within our exempt purpose to continue to ensure all activites through THE Foundation are according to our exempt purpose. |
