WHO WE ARE

Launched in 2020, the Make-A-Play Foundation (MAP) is a national nonprofit preparing high-achieving college athletes from under-resourced backgrounds for professional success at leading companies.

College athletes traditionally spend upwards of 40 hours per week on their sport, which can be a major challenge for those preparing for their post-playing careers. Despite the challenges and time commitments involved, college athletics can be incredibly rewarding for student-athletes and position them ahead of the curve for professional success.

Competing at a high level.

Learning how to manage competing interests.

Experience representing a brand on a national stage.

Navigating highly pressurized and scrutinized moments.

Fostering a strong sense of teamwork.

Working and leading people from different backgrounds.

For all these reasons and more, college athletes are some of the most sought-after pre-professional recruits in Corporate America and beyond.

OUR WORK

We partner with 40+ companies to offer coveted roles to high-achieving athletes from under-resourced backgrounds. These opportunities are highly competitive, but with MAP, our athletes learn how to harness their competitive spirit to succeed as individuals and on a business team, making them a force to be reckoned with in the professional world and beyond.

We prepare 1,250+ college athletes (freshmen, sophomores, and juniors) and 250+ "early pros" (college seniors and early professionals) annually for competitive roles at leading companies. We have gamified the professional development experience through our two-part fellowship model to translate our fellows' athletic experiences into a powerful tool for success at leading companies, providing them with the personalized training they need to secure a summer internship or full-time role in a competitive industry.
