Sabrina Ionescu's SI20 Foundation mission is to equip youth from all backgrounds and skill levels with equitable access to sports that create genuine connections and build stronger communities for life.

In its initial stages, the SI20 Foundation partners with locally led grantee organizations in New York, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Eugene, or to amplify programming and provide resources that foster deeper connections, leading to more inclusive communities and better teammates. As the foundation continues to grow, it will develop internal programming and resources that equip communities across the globe with tools, practices, and facilities to build systems of support beyond sports.
