Programs

Assist 4 Kidds

For every assist that Kidd earns the regular and post-season, Jason donates $100 to the Jason Kidd Foundation. He also is seeking support from companies and individuals interested in participating in the Assist Program by matching $10 per assist.

Kipp Truth Academy

The JKF proudly supports the efforts of KIPP TRUTH Academy, established in 2003. This "Academically Recognized" campus has a recognized goal of equipping students who have been traditionally underserved with the knowledge, skills and character traits necessary to succeed in top-quality high schools, colleges and the competitive world. They aim to close the achievement gap for underprivileged youth by establishing rigorous academic standards and a culture of high expectations.

Northern Light School

The JKF is an active partner of the Northern Light School, a non-profit academic institution in Oakland, Calif. that provides high quality education to children who would not otherwise have such an opportunity. A large portion of JFK funds and programming benefit the Northern Light School. Jason also visits the school to speak to the students about the importance of education and related topics, as well as participates alongside them in school projects.

Dallas Can!

The JKF works with Dallas Can! schools to motivate kids to volunteer and be active in their schools and communities. The students from Dallas Can! volunteer at schools in there area to help teachers with tutoring and mentoring younger students.
