About Slam Foundation
Slam Foundation Inc’s giving is built around a national network of SLAM schools, with recent grants directed to education support for school entities in Miami, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Arizona. The foundation’s public mission centers on advancing learning opportunities for children from all walks of life through schools that prepare students for college and industry careers. In the recent grants list, the largest award went to Slam Florida Inc for $5,674,042 in 2024, followed by another $2,269,651 grant in 2025 and a $1,121,050 grant in 2023. That repeated support points to an operating model that sustains affiliated education organizations over time rather than relying on isolated project awards. Other sizable awards include $445,000 to Slam Academy of Atlanta Inc and $426,000 to Slam Arizona Inc, both in 2024, showing support for multiple school entities within the same network. The funder’s stated focus areas include K-12 education, charter schools, STEM education, arts education, sports-integrated learning, college and career readiness, and underserved youth.
What Slam Foundation Funds
Education support is the constant thread across the grants. Slam Foundation Inc gave $445,000 to Slam Academy of Atlanta Inc in 2024, reinforcing its backing for a school entity tied to the network’s learning model. It also awarded $426,000 to Slam Arizona Inc in 2024, with the purpose text again stating financial support to education. The foundation’s focus areas point to a mix of school-based priorities: K-12 education, charter schools, STEM education, arts education, sports-integrated learning, and college and career readiness. Those topics align with its mission statement about preparing students for college and industry careers. Grants also went to Sport Leadership and Management Inc in Miami in 2024, 2023, and 2025, showing support that extends across affiliated organizations in the SLAM ecosystem.
How Slam Foundation Gives
Grant sizes range from $18,456 at the 25th percentile to a median of $99,000 and $445,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants show repeated support to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including multiple awards to Slam Florida Inc, Slam Arizona Inc, Slam Academy of Atlanta Inc, and Sport Leadership and Management Inc. That pattern suggests ongoing institutional support rather than one-time grants. Slam Foundation Inc is a public charity, and the available philosophy tags indicate direct financial support, unrestricted or operational support, and program or project funding. The grant purposes are phrased broadly as financial support to education.
