The Under Armour Foundation focuses on youth development through sports, education and community-centered programs, with a strong local emphasis on Baltimore. They make sizable, program-restricted grants to organizations that deliver athletic opportunities, after-school and experiential learning (often using Under Armour-branded or partner-run programs), while also supporting occasional national relief and policy/leadership organizations.
Concentrated, program-restricted grants: several large gifts to a handful of repeat local partners (notably Living Classrooms and AthLife), supplemented by multi-hundred-thousand-dollar one-off national gifts. Mix of multi-year or repeat support for core Baltimore grantees and occasional broader/national emergency or policy funding.
A defining feature of Under Armour Foundation Inc’s recent giving is its repeated, high-dollar support for Living Classrooms Fdn Ua House in Baltimore, with awards of $451,000 in 2025, $451,000 in 2024, $375,500 in 2025, and $300,000 in 2023. That pattern points to a funder that backs multi-year programs rather than isolated gifts, especially where youth can access sports, learning, and community-based programming together. The foundation’s recent grants also show sustained support for the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC, including $410,000 in 2024 and $410,000 in 2025, alongside a smaller 2023 gift of $25,000. Those awards sit within a broader portfolio that includes Baltimore youth-serving organizations, school and leadership groups, and occasional relief funding. Across the file, the foundation appears to use both unrestricted and restricted support, with several grants tied to a specific program or purpose. The overall shape is consistent: concentrated local grantmaking in Baltimore, paired with select regional and national organizations that align with youth development, education, and community opportunity.
Youth development is the clearest throughline in the file. Under Armour Foundation Inc gave $270,000 in 2025 to Athlife Foundation for a specific program, and another $100,000 to the same group in 2023 as unrestricted support, suggesting a repeated role in sports-linked youth programming. Education support shows up through the Fund for Educational Excellence, which received $110,000 in 2025 for a specific program and $100,233 in 2023 as unrestricted support, plus $65,000 in 2024 and $65,000 in 2025 for a specific program. The foundation also backs youth-serving clubs and centers, including $250,000 in 2025 to Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore for a specific program and $165,000 in 2023 to Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach. Community and leadership programming appear as well: Greenlight Fund received $75,000 in 2025 for a specific program, and Junior Achievement of Central MD Inc received $50,000 in 2025 for a specific program and $50,000 in 2024 unrestricted.
Typical grants cluster at a modest-to-midrange size, with a p25 of $5,000, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $53,750. The file shows both repeat awards and one-off grants, but several recipients appear across multiple years, including Living Classrooms Fdn Ua House, Aspen Institute, Fund for Educational Excellence, Athlife Foundation, Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore, and Don't Ever Give Up Inc. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than only annual open-cycle awards. Under Armour Foundation Inc is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF or program-related-investment vehicle. The portfolio mixes unrestricted support with restricted grants for specific programs or purposes, often in the same organization across different years.
