Easton Sports Development Foundation II is a highly focused sports philanthropy that concentrates almost exclusively on youth athletics, funding a small number of large grants to build programs, equipment, and competitive pathways. Its giving centers on organized youth sports and athlete development—particularly archery and other Easton-related sports—and includes support for a local university athletics program. The foundation gives few grants but at high dollar levels, often making repeat investments in the same organizations to sustain program growth and competitive pipelines.
Highly concentrated: very few, large grants with repeat funding to the same beneficiaries (internal foundation entity and national sport governing body), focused rather than broadly distributed.
Easton Sports Development Foundation II puts most of its recent grantmaking into organized youth archery and related athlete-development pathways. The clearest signal is its repeat support for Easton Sports Development Foundation in Van Nuys: $2,300,000 in 2024 and another $2,300,000 in 2023. That same pattern appears in other large awards, including $1,053,192 to USA Archery in 2023 and $520,000 in 2024, showing a mix of very large operating support and recurring investments in the same sports infrastructure. The foundation’s grant list is built around youth sports organizations, archery clubs, school-based teams, and community programs that can expand participation and competitive training. It also backs college-linked athletics efforts, such as the $500,000 grant to the Csun Foundation in 2024, alongside a broad set of smaller awards to local clubs and recreation groups. The public-facing grant programs reinforce that pattern: operational grants, equipment grants, facility development, and impact-oriented awards all center on archery participation, coaching, and program delivery. Across the record on file, the foundation gives few grants relative to its annual volume, but the awards it does make are substantial enough to support programs, equipment, and facilities rather than one-time events.
A defining theme is support for national archery infrastructure. Easton Sports Development Foundation II gave $1,053,192 to USA Archery in 2023 and $520,000 in 2024, both tagged for youth sports, indicating sustained backing for a governing body tied to athlete development and participation. It also funds college and school-connected archery programs. The $500,000 grant to Csun Foundation in 2024 stands out as a university-linked award, while smaller grants went to Pacifica Chrisian High School, Rollins College, University of Georgia, Northeastern University Archery Club, and University of Irvine Archery Club. Community access and facilities are another recurring thread. Awards to Weber County Archery Park, Alamance County Recreation, West Michigan Archery Center, and Boys & Girls Club of Stoneham show support for places where youth can practice and compete. Equipment and program support are also embedded in the foundation’s active grant programs, including Equipment Grants and Community Facilities Development.

Recent grants show a highly skewed size profile: the 25th percentile is $500, the median is $2,420, and the 75th percentile is $26,250. That spread reflects a pattern of many small awards alongside a few very large ones, including multi-million-dollar grants. The grants list also shows repeat support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, especially for core archery institutions and related programs. The foundation is a private operating-style sports philanthropy rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Several active grant programs accept unsolicited submissions through a portal or express-interest process, including Operational Grants, Equipment Grants, Impactful Grants, and Community Facilities Development.
Grantmaking is national, with all recent grants landing in the United States. California receives the largest share of grants by count, and 21% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state.
