iWIN Sports
Get girls in the game — so they can change the game.
Four programs, one pipeline. iWIN funds the season a family cannot afford, builds the belonging that makes a girl come back, and keeps the door open long after she stops competing. Everything here is built for Idaho, and most of it did not exist eighteen months ago.
Why iWIN exists
Money decides who plays. Then the culture decides who stays.
Barely half of American children play organized sport, and the gap between the highest and lowest income households is enormous. Girls face that gap and then a second one on top of it, in the specific years when quitting becomes normal. Both problems are solvable and neither is solved by encouragement.
The platform
Four programs, and none of them works alone.
Play, stay, lead. Said properly: Access, Retention and Leverage. They are not marketing headings — they are three different problems that need three different kinds of intervention, and a program that solves one does not touch the others.
Each stage exists because the one before it is not enough on its own. A funded season that nobody comes back from is money spent, not a pipeline. Follow the line down the left-hand side and you are following one girl, not browsing a menu.
Getting her in. This is almost entirely a money problem, and money problems are the fastest kind to solve.
A funded season is only worth something if she comes back for the next one →iWIN IX Grants
Remove the barrierRegistration and league fees, shoes, uniforms, required gear, travel, and camp tuition — for Idaho girls and for the organizations serving them. Named for Title IX. Applications are open year-round with no deadline to wait for, and wherever possible we pay the provider directly.
For families who need a season covered, and for teams, schools, clubs and nonprofits where cost is turning girls away.
Apply, or see what is covered →Keeping her there through the years she is most likely to quit. This is a culture problem, and culture is made by the adults in the room.
A girl who stays long enough starts becoming somebody younger girls watch →Game On! Sports Camps 4 Girls
Build belongingMulti-sport camp where girls play several sports a day and nobody is the best at all of them — plus year-round clinics including Throw Like A Girl and mother–daughter and father–daughter sessions. Running since 2007; the Foundation holds the license for Idaho and Eastern Oregon.
For girls Pre-K through 8th grade, every skill level, with scholarships so cost is never the reason she sits out.
Camps, clinics and scholarships →The Changemakers Circuit
Shift culture and confidenceSpeaking and engagement programming that goes to whole rooms rather than to girls alone — girls, boys, parents, coaches, educators and corporate audiences. Confidence and resilience, mental wellness, healthy team culture, and the athlete-to-leader transition.
For schools, athletic programs, community organizations and companies who want the culture around girls’ sport to change, not just the girls.
Book a session →Making sure what she learned becomes something she leads with. This is the stretch almost nobody builds for.
And a woman who leads sends the next girl back to the beginning of this line.The iWIN Networking Collective
Sustain the pipelineA membership community for women who played sport and are translating it into a career, a leadership role and a life. Mentorship, professional development, career readiness, and support through the transitions where people quietly drop out of their own ambitions.
For women who competed at any level, young adults moving from athlete identity to professional identity, and the mentors who want to stay invested.
Join the Collective →The Coach Pathway
From camper to paid staffNot a program so much as a route: Coach in Training at fourteen, paid camp coach at seventeen, Sports Director, school-year coach, program leadership. Every internship is paid, because an unpaid one selects for families who can afford it.
For high school and college athletes who want real leadership experience, a paycheck, and something on a resume that took actual work.
See open roles →How it fits together
A pipeline is only a pipeline if something is running at every stage.
Four programs on their own are a menu. What makes them a platform is that each one hands off to the next — a girl funded into her first season at seven can be running a camp group at nineteen without ever leaving the system that started her.
The signature event
The Change Make*Hers Gala funds all of it.
iWIN’s annual celebration of girls in sport and women in leadership, and the single event that pays for the year of programming around it. The inaugural gala in February 2026 sold out — with a keynote from Tara VanDerveer, Naismith Hall of Fame coach, three-time NCAA champion, Olympic gold medalist, and the woman who began her head coaching career at the University of Idaho.
Where to start
Depending on why you are here.
You need help covering a season
Apply for an iWIN IX Grant. Applications are open year-round, most take about fifteen minutes with your cost documentation to hand, and if writing an application is itself a barrier we will take your answers another way.
Start an application →You run a program and cost is turning girls away
iWIN IX Equity Grants fund gear libraries, facility time, coach stipends and transportation. Hosting a clinic is often the easiest place to start, and it costs you nothing to ask.
Equity Grants →You want to fund this
A hundred and fifteen dollars covered a season for each of the last twenty girls we funded. Two hundred and fifty covers fees, gear or travel. Corporate partnerships start at a named IX Grant cohort and run through presenting sponsorship of the gala.
Ways to give →You just want to stand behind it
Take the iWIN Pledge. It is free, it takes a minute, and it is open to anyone — parents, coaches, athletes past and present, businesses, and the boys and men who are ready to be genuine allies.

When girls play, they lead — and we all win.
Four programs, one pipeline, and a state small enough to actually change. Everything on this page is funded by people who decided a registration fee was worth paying for somebody else’s daughter.
