Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Ultimate Foundation aims to deliver the sport of Ultimate to all without limitation by supporting USA Ultimate programs which: equip players, coaches and organizers of historically underrepresented identities with resources, develop leaders and people, invest in growing a diverse talent pool of players and coaches, and remove barriers to participation at all levels from recreational leagues to our National Teams.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Ultimate Foundation fuels a future for ultimate that is accessible to all backgrounds and identities by supporting USA Ultimate programs, partners and communities.

  • Access/Play it Forward - USA Ultimate believes everyone should have the chance to experience the joy of ultimate, and no one should be denied the opportunity to be a part of the ultimate community because of their socioeconomic status. Donations designated for access support PLAY IT FORWARD, providing financial assistance for youth to experience the joy of ultimate at every level of play. With your help, kids of all backgrounds and identities will have opportunities to learn the joy of ultimate and the values of Spirit of the Game.

    Expenses $48,174 · Grants $48,174

  • The Delrico Johnson Fund - The Delrico Johnson Fund increases access and participation for Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) by contributing towards memberships, starting with adult affiliate memberships, and National Team tryout fees.

    Expenses $11,140 · Grants $11,140

  • Girls' Ultimate Movement (GUM) - The Girls' Ultimate Movement (GUM) is a community-wide outreach program designed to increase girls' participation in the sport of ultimate. Currently, only about a quarter of all USA Ultimate youth members are female, but the sport is an excellent outlet for young girls. With its emphasis on Spirit of the Game and tenets of equity and inclusiveness, ultimate can help girls become amazing athletes, but also leaders and contributors to society.

    Expenses $6,437 · Grants $6,437

  • Other programs to support Ultimate.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
