our projects

Over the last 5 years, TUFF has been successful in deploying a proven and scalable project management process for 3 sports in: Football, Basketball, and Soccer.

our work

areas of focus

FOOTBALL

Equipment costs associated with shoulder pads and helmets are the reason football has one of the most significant barriers to entry for underserved families.

BASKETBALL

The TUFF Team leveraged connections in NCAA Women’s Basketball to expand our efforts into girls’ and boys youth basketball.

SOCCER

Soccer is the world’s most popular sport and is heavily played in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

We have made multiple soccer donations in Africa, specifically in Liberia and Ghana.
