Easton Foundations

Created by Jim Easton, CEO of Jas. D. Programs

The Easton Foundations sponsor a variety of programs to increase the awareness of archery.

Easton, Inc., the Foundations support the building and/or operation of outdoor and indoor archery facilities at city parks, schools, universities and sports complexes throughout the U.S. In addition to these facilities, the Foundations provide programs to train aspiring archers, trainers, coaches and administrators. The first Easton Sports Development Foundation was created in 1984 with the missio

n to introduce this lifetime activity and historic Olympic-style sport of archery to more people in Southern California. The success of that effort led to the formation in 2006 of a second Easton foundation, Easton Sports Development Foundation II. Among the programs initiated by ESDF are Olympic Archery in Schools (OAS), which helps schools to form archery teams to compete in a unique league. The Foundation also sponsored the 2009 Archery Youth World Cup and the 2010-2012 Archery World Cups in Ogden, UT and runs various youth archery programs from its Archery Centers in Newberry, FL; Salt Lake City, Utah and Van Nuys, CA. Grants

Easton Sports Development Foundation (ESDF) awards several grants every year to clubs, programs, schools, colleges and universities, and organizations that propose archery-related plans or projects. For more information, please click on Apply for Grants. Other Initiatives

Easton Foundations also provides assistance to several high-level archery programs and organizations, such as the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California, the U.S. Archery Association (USAA), the National Field Archery Association (NFAA) and the U.S. Collegiate Archery Program (USCA).

Not every part of archery is visible on the field of play.

Behind archery’s growth are programs that teach, coaches who develop athletes, and organizations that keep those doors open. Easton Foundations helps support that ecosystem so the sport can continue to expand.

Did you know archery was one of the very first sports to include women in the modern Olympic Games, all the way back in 1904? 🏹

While the formats, bows, and television coverage have evolved dramatically over the last century, the spirit of the Olympic line remains unchanged. It is a test of absolute focus under pressure. Easton Foundations is proud to preserve this historic Olympic legacy by training the next generation of archers, coaches, and leaders.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards.

When life drags a young person back with challenges or lack of opportunity, support is what propels them forward.

Our philanthropic mission at Easton Foundations is to be that support system. By funding programs, providing gear, and building safe ranges, we give young athletes the momentum they need to aim high and hit targets they never thought possible.

A strong sport depends on more than participation numbers. It depends on access, coaching, and consistent opportunities to grow.
