Kids can learn many life lessons from their athletic experiences - including the value of having a good coach. With that premise, Handshake America identifies coachable high-school student-athletes with grit and connects them with successful people that help translate lessons from the field to success in life. We coach - not "mentor" - the students to learn the true meaning of success and how they will achieve it with Perseverance, Passion, Positivity, People, and Presence - which includes giving a good handshake! What's in it for the student-athletes? Those selected get to take part in a one-year Program with student-athletes from other area high schools to see many examples of what 'very good' looks like while learning from their Coaches and team sessions. They also receive a significant college scholarship.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
97¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.
Run by 74 volunteers and 1 employee.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
