Your Foot, My Foot Foundation Recognized as 2025 NCIF Grant Recipients
Atlanta, GA (June 16, 2025) – Your Foot, My Foot Foundation is proud to announce that we have been selected as a 2025 recipient of the Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF), in recognition of our hard work to create equitable access and opportunity in soccer for marginalized youth.
At YFMF, we believe sport is not only a game, but also a path to mental, physical, and social wellbeing. However, in too many communities, kids face barriers like unsafe playing fields, high equipment costs, and limited local support. With the help of NCIF, we are inspiring youth to reach their greatest potential on and off the pitch no matter the circumstance.
"We [YFMF Foundation] are grateful to receive support that will enable us to bring our programming to youth in Metro Atlanta," said Maya Neal, the foundation's founder and executive director. "We hope to bring to light the inequities in access to affordable opportunities in sport at the grassroots level while also giving youth a positive and transformative experience out on the pitch."
We invite you to join us in championing the power of play.
