Who We Are

The Skyward Athletics Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to Olympic fencing and supporting athlete development within our community.

We work to remove financial barriers, create new opportunities, and build sustainable pathways for athletes to train, compete, and grow—regardless of background or financial circumstance.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving athletic community where rising talent is never limited by financial barriers—and where fencing is accessible to all who seek it.

What We Do

The Foundation creates opportunity, accessibility, and advancement in Olympic fencing by:

  • Providing financial assistance to athletes in need

  • Expanding access through outreach programs and community initiatives

  • Supporting elite development opportunities such as camps and clinics

  • Funding equipment and resources that enable safe and effective training

Why It Matters

Two female fencers competing in a fencing match indoors. They are dressed in fencing gear, including masks, jackets, and gloves. The fencer on the right is extending her arm with her foil, while the other appears to be preparing to respond. The background includes a digital scoreboard and a fencing piste with barriers.

Fencing is a sport that demands precision, discipline, and long-term commitment—but access requires resources that are often out of reach.

Equipment, coaching, and competition costs can prevent athletes from starting—or force them to stop too soon.

We are working to change that—so dedication, not circumstance, determines how far an athlete can go.

How We Work

The Skyward Athletics Foundation supports programs and initiatives in partnership with local training organizations, schools, and community groups.

Through these partnerships, we are able to deliver meaningful programming, expand access to fencing, and create opportunities for athletes at every level.
