The Olympic Club Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports and encourages participation by Bay Area youth in amateur athletics. Our mission is to support programs which share our belief that participation in organized athletics enriches young lives and develops future community leaders. For 27 years, The Olympic Club Foundation (OCF) has been funding youth organizations in the 9 San Francisco Bay Area counties to enable them to provide sports participation to low income children and teens. OCF has funded over 250 local non-profits serving over 250,000 young athletes, particularly those young athletes who lack access to affordable sports. The Foundation is the philanthropic arm of The Olympic Club--the oldest athletic club in the United States. The Club has a 159-year history of community service and formalized its philanthropic outreach with the creation of The Olympic Club Foundation in 1992.
