The Starting Grid Foundation is a veteran and woman led 501 (c)(3) charity that began with a group of friends who realized that talent and money to enter competitive motorsports do not always align. They noticed that there were many companies that offered sponsorships, but zero organizations that were dedicated solely to getting athletes into motorsports, while supporting the development of both their professionalism and performance. Our moto, “Support – Connect - Compete”, is driven from our passion to help young riders to pursue a racing career both on and off the track. Our goal is to provide the necessary equipment, skills, and professional education to allow young riders to outshine their competition, and connecting them with important figures in the racing community to eventually compete on the national and world stage. Young rider support is made possible with donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations that believe in a shared responsibility to enable young riders to pursue their dreams of a career in motorsport. Join us. Your generous support and contributions will contribute to our goal of providing life changing opportunities to young riders, bringing them to the world stage.
