Why We Exist

Three reasons we're on the field.

The Force for Health® Institute exists for three things — and your gift maps to all three.
1
Pillar One

Scholarships for Ambassadors, Leaders & Directors

Fund the training, certification, and onboarding of the people who run the Force on the ground — Ambassadors, community leaders, and Chamber of Health® Directors at the city, county, and state level.

Who it reaches: Coaches, educators, faith leaders, athlete partners, civic Directors
2
Pillar Two

Study Impacts & Outcomes

Underwrite the research that proves what's actually working — independent measurement of prevention impact, community health outcomes, and the activation of the Reality Health Games™ across our four-country footprint.

Who it serves: Public health researchers, partners, donors, the field at large
3
Pillar Three

Incentives for Reality Health Games™ Participants

Fund the rewards, recognition, and prizes that keep STEAM TEAMS, VIP LEAGUES coaches, Chamber Directors, Family Leagues, and Channel Teams in the game. The coins, the medals, the scholarships at the December and June crownings — all funded here.

Who it rewards: Every player on the field, in every division

How It Works

Fiscal sponsorship, explained.

Transparency matters. Here's exactly how a gift to The Force for Health® Institute moves through the system and why every dollar is tax-deductible.

The structure

The Force for Health® Institute is a fiscally sponsored project of Players Philanthropy Fund, Inc. (PPF) — a Texas nonprofit corporation recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3). PPF holds the legal nonprofit status; the Institute holds the mission and the programming.

This is a common, professional model used by athlete foundations, social-impact projects, and emerging philanthropies — it lets us channel tax-deductible gifts toward focused programming without the overhead of standing up a separate 501(c)(3).

  • Donor receipts issued by PPF — tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law
  • Disbursement requests submitted by the Institute — reviewed and processed by PPF
  • Annual public impact report from the Institute
  • Sage Intacct — the financial system used by PPF for project accounting
