Support our grant-giving organization

Established in 1988, Atlanta Youth Running Foundation (formerly The Atlanta Track Club Foundation) has been operating as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. As such, donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Your donations support hundreds of programs across track clubs, cross-country, track & field and other organizations in Georgia. Atlanta Youth Running Foundation funds scholarships annually and grants twice a year. To date, Atlanta Youth Running Foundation has supported over 150 organizations and provided over $1 million dollars in grant funds.

Throughout its long history, the Foundation’s goal has been to promote track and field and distance youth running programs. In this way, the Foundation can help make a difference in the lives of the youth. These programs promote physical fitness while fostering discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.  Students become student-athletes. Some student-athletes receive scholarships. Some scholarship athletes go on to coach and work with youth themselves. Every athlete develops skills and attitudes that serve them well in their lives.
