We Honor Coaches.
We Elevate Youth.
We Strengthen Communities.
Appreciation Project Inc. is a non-profit that recognizes coaches and strengthens youth sports across the nation - especially in underserved communities. When we honor coaches, we invest in every young athlete they influence.
Where Appreciation Turns Into Impact
If a coach has made a difference in your life, this is your chance to pay it forward. Recognize their impact and help us honor the leaders who lift our youth.
Join the Movement
Be part of a mission that honors coaches, empowers kids, and builds stronger teams and communities.
Honor
Every honored coach begins with a nomination from someone they’ve inspired. We select standout leaders, recognize them at events, feature them in the Hall of Honor, and then support their athletes with the resources they need most.
Nomination Process
Anyone can submit a nomination—parents, athletes, fellow coaches, or community members.
Share the story of a coach who goes above and beyond, leads with heart, and impacts underserved youth. Your nomination helps us identify leaders who deserve national recognition.
Give
Help us provide resources to underserved athletes—and give back to the coaches who make a lasting impact. With your help, we expand our reach, elevate more leaders, and empower youth who need it most.
Fuel the Impact
Recognition is only the beginning.
For every honored coach, Appreciation Project identifies and supports the unique needs of their team—whether that’s:
- Equipment
- Scholarships
- Fees and travel assistance
- Training resources
- Program development support
Our goal is to strengthen entire programs by uplifting the leaders at their core.
Partnership
We partner with youth sports clubs to help them secure donations from local businesses and their communities. We provide ready-to-use resources, a customized donation link, and recognition for the coaches who build up young athletes.
Strengthen Your Club. Expand Opportunity.
Let us help your sports club go to the next level—by expanding resources and ensuring every player has the opportunity to participate. Through community support, we provide the resources clubs need to support their athletes and coaches.
