THE FOREHER FOUNDATION
Supporting lifelong participation in sport for girls and women, by creating pathways rooted in confidence, community, and connection.
Why ForeHER Foundation Exists
Girls don’t stop playing sports because they lose interest — they stop because support disappears.
Participation drops after elementary school, again in middle school, again in high school, and often completely after college. Even women who played competitively are left without a place to belong, grow, or give back once structured athletics end.
ForeHER Foundation exists to close those gaps — by building confidence-first, community-led pathways that help girls and women stay connected to sport through every stage of life.
What Makes ForeHER Different
Many programs focus on a single moment — juniors or college recruiting or adult participation. ForeHER Foundation supports the entire journey. We combine funded access, experienced mentorship from former college athletes, and real-world education to support girls and women before, during, and after competitive play.

Our Roots
ForeHER Foundation was built from on-the-ground community work through Carolina ForeHER, a women’s golf community that has supported hundreds of women across North Carolina.
Through that work, we repeatedly saw the same pattern — women finding confidence and belonging through sport, while girls and younger women lacked consistent access, support, and pathways to stay involved long term.
The Foundation was created to address those gaps directly, expanding the impact beyond adult programming and into earlier life stages — while remaining a separate nonprofit organization with its own mission, governance, and funding.
This partnership allows ForeHER Foundation to stay deeply connected to real communities, experienced coaches, and proven programming — without losing focus on access, inclusion, and long-term impact.
Our Approach
ForeHER Foundation creates access to sport through funded participation, mentorship, and education at key stages of the athletic journey.
By partnering with Carolina ForeHER, we deliver high-quality programming while focusing foundation resources on removing financial barriers, supporting major transition points, and keeping girls and women connected to sport beyond college.
