Sponsor a kid
Your donation is a tuition invoice we can pay
Roll Model Project sends money straight to San Diego partner gyms on behalf of kids who can't afford to train. Pick an amount, one-time or monthly.
What each amount covers
$180
One Month on the Mat
A full month of tuition paid directly to a San Diego partner gym.
$540
A Full Season
Three months of uninterrupted training — long enough for a kid to stick with it.
$2,160
Sponsor a Kid for a Year
Twelve months of tuition, gear replacement, and tournament entry fees.
Give another amount
Any amount is applied to tuition, gear, and tournament entry fees for sponsored athletes in San Diego County. Recurring gifts are the most useful — they let us commit a kid to a full training year instead of a single month.
Grant Funding
Grants are essential to how Roll Model Project operates. We actively pursue funding from foundations, corporations, and community grant programs across San Diego County, and that funding — combined with individual donations — directly covers tuition, gear, and tournament fees for sponsored athletes. 100% of program funding goes to kids on the mat, not overhead.
Tax-deductible giving
Roll Model Project is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California. Our EIN is 39-2107815. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and we email a receipt for every gift.
Employer matching, donor-advised funds, and stock gifts are welcome — email info@rollmodelproject.org and our treasurer will handle the paperwork.
