In 2022 we supported three organizations. Here is some information on the work they do and how they align with the Chip Hooper Foundation’s mission.
boys and girls club of monterey county
The Boys and Girls Club of Monterey County offers a safe, affordable, and supportive environment for youth during after-school hours. Its mission is to help all young people, especially those most in need, realize their full potential as responsible, caring, and productive citizens. The organization emphasizes three key areas—Academic Success, Good Character & Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles—through community programs, mentorship, and quality services for youth from diverse backgrounds, making the club a vital safe haven.
The Chip Hooper Foundation plans to continue to support the Boys and Girls Club of Monterey County through the MC Gives donation-matching program in order to double our impact.
american alpine club - live your dream grant
In 2022, The Chip Hooper Foundation, once again, supported the American Alpine Club’s Live Your Dream Grant. The foundation chose to support this organization again because their goals of supporting people’s dreams in the mountains aligns with the Chip Hooper Foundation’s mission of helping people reach their goals. The American Alpine Club awards the Live Your Dream Grant to an individual each year to help them progress in their climbing abilities. “The Live Your Dream grant is designed to help every-day adventurers take their abilities to the next level. It is about personal progression. It is about supporting each other; getting out there to push our individual limits; taking our skills to the next proving grounds, wherever that may be. The purpose of this grant is to support and promote unforgettable experiences for climbers—to dream big, to grow, and to inspire others. The Live Your Dream grant is for individuals of all ages, all experience levels, and all climbing disciplines—from bouldering to big walls, alpinism to ski mountaineering, peak bagging to bolt clipping and everything in between” (https://americanalpineclub.org/live-your-dream-grant).
the Players company
The Players Company is an organization that was created and is run by former athletes. The aim of the organization is to enhance financial literacy in communities around the country to allow young individuals to pursue a more sustainable and prosperous future. By doing so, this aligns with the Chip Hooper Foundation’s mission, which focuses on helping people pursue their dreams with passion.
