The Champions Fund (TCF) is a Florida based 501(c)3 national public charity comprised of professional athlete and sport-related donor advised funds.
With clients representing most major professional sports leagues, including but not limited to the NFL, NHL and NBA, TCF works with each client providing them with the opportunity to determine his/her own charitable initiative, board of advisors, foundation manager, annual operational budget and program of work.
We approach each prospective donor client individually, customizing a philanthropic program to best fit the client’s charitable interests, desire scope and length of program, and ability to give.
TCF offers all aspects of foundation management under one umbrella and offers the added advantage of having the ability to create and execute community outreach programs in any community, whether local, national or even international in scope. Regardless of program size or scope, our clients will still benefit from the full talent and collaboration of our entire team.
