Our Mission
Nancy Lieberman Charities is dedicated to improving outcomes for underserved youth by expanding access to opportunities in education, mental health and wellness, and career and life preparedness. Through innovative, transformative initiatives, we strive to empower the next generation while fostering inclusivity, racial and gender equality, social justice, and civic engagement.
Our diverse portfolio of programs—including Dream Courts™, educational scholarships, basketball camps, HBCU partnerships, racial and social justice lecture series, mentorship opportunities, and STEM and technology initiatives—is designed to build confidence, strengthen self-esteem, promote health and well-being, and equip young people with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to reach their full potential and achieve lasting success.
Our Vision
Nancy Lieberman Charities strives to be a catalyst for positive change in the lives of young girls and boys across the country, using the power of sports to promote health and wellness, combat childhood obesity, support mental health, and inspire personal growth.
We believe sports are more than a game—they are a powerful tool for bringing people together, building meaningful connections, and developing lifelong skills such as confidence, self-esteem, teamwork, leadership, participation, and sound decision-making.
At Nancy Lieberman Charities, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel supported, empowered, and equipped to overcome life's challenges. No child should have to navigate those challenges alone.
Our Method
Our approach is rooted in developing confident, capable, and resilient young leaders by promoting leadership, health and wellness, personal growth, and meaningful connections. We strive to equip young people with the confidence and courage to stand against bullying, advocate for themselves, and support and uplift those around them.
We are committed to expanding access to opportunities through educational scholarships, mentorship, and technology, helping create a more equitable playing field where every student has the resources and support to reach their full potential.
Through our Dream Courts™, we create safe, welcoming spaces where youth can come together, build relationships, develop life skills, and grow both on and off the court. Every initiative is designed to foster an environment where young people feel valued, supported, empowered, and inspired to succeed.
Our Values
Through educational initiatives, mental health and wellness programming, mentorship, and leadership development, Nancy Lieberman Charities positively impacts the lives of more than five million children annually. By harnessing the transformative power of sports, fitness, and education, we create meaningful opportunities for young people to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.
We are committed to breaking down barriers and expanding access to resources and opportunities for all youth, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic background. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and we strive to create an inclusive environment where every young person feels valued, supported, and empowered to build a brighter future.
"Never stop working, wanting, or dreaming. Everything is possible but you have to see it, say it to be it. You have to believe that those things can happen for you if you put the time, effort and work into changing your life and your opportunities."
