THE BPG FOUNDATION

CURRENT 501(c)(3) STATUS

The BPG Foundation has applied for recognition as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and is currently awaiting IRS determination.

While the application is pending, the Foundation cannot guarantee that contributions are tax-deductible.

If the IRS ultimately approves the Foundation’s application and recognizes exemption for the period when a contribution was made, that contribution may qualify as tax-deductible.

If the IRS does not approve the application, the contribution may not be tax-deductible.



Donors should consult their own tax, legal, or financial advisor before making any contribution.

WHY THE FOUNDATION EXISTS

Hawaii student-athletes face unique challenges.

Many mainland opportunities require airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, event fees, and time away from home. These costs can limit access for athletes who may benefit from additional development, leadership training, college pathway education, or exposure opportunities.

The BPG Foundation was created to help make those opportunities more accessible.



Support may help eligible student-athletes participate in approved development and educational experiences that support their growth as athletes, leaders, and future college students.

WHAT FOUNDATION SUPPORT MAY HELP WITH

Foundation support may be used for approved student-athlete development needs, including:

• Leadership development
• College pathway education
• Soccer development opportunities
• Training-related support
• Event participation
• Travel-related costs
• Airfare
• Lodging
• Meals
• Ground transportation
• College exposure opportunities
• Other approved educational or athletic development needs

Foundation support is designed to reduce barriers.

It does not guarantee outcomes.

WHO THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS

The BPG Foundation is intended to support Hawaii student-athletes who demonstrate need, commitment, character, and alignment with approved development opportunities.

Support may be considered based on available funds, eligibility, opportunity type, timing, student-athlete need, and Foundation discretion.

Submitting a request does not guarantee approval.

Receiving support once does not guarantee future support.

AWARD GUIDELINES

Foundation awards may be considered based on available funds, student-athlete need, opportunity type, eligibility, timing, and Foundation discretion.

Awards may support full or partial costs connected to approved opportunities.

The Foundation may consider factors such as:

• Financial need

• Opportunity value
• Timing
• Available funds
• Program fit
• Academic responsibility
• Character and conduct

DONOR GUIDELINES

Donors may support the Foundation’s general mission.

Unless otherwise approved and legally permitted, donations should not be made for the private benefit of a specific individual.

The Foundation retains discretion and control over all funds, awards, and support decisions.

Donors may express interest in supporting a type of opportunity, population, or need, but the Foundation must maintain final control over how funds are used.

During the pending 501(c)(3) period, donors should understand that contributions do not have advance assurance of tax deductibility.



Donors should consult their own tax, legal, or financial advisor before contributing.
