The OG Foundation was created with one clear purpose: to support and sustain the mission and culture of Orlando Gold Boys Volleyball Club.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, our sole focus is to advance the values that define Orlando Gold: dominance, discipline, integrity.
Build tomorrow’s men today through the crucible of elite club volleyball.
We serve as the philanthropic arm of the club, raising funds to reduce economic barriers, support high-level training, and help young athletes develop into strong players and even stronger people.
Scholarship
We provide financial assistance to players and families who would not otherwise be able to afford club participation, including dues, travel, uniforms, and tournament fees.
Professional Development
From equipment and coaching resources to facility expansion and travel for national tournaments.
Culture and Character
Play ends for us all. Scoresheets are quickly forgotten.Values endure.
We invest in leadership, mindset, and mentorship. OG athlete’s are more than tournament results (oh, but winning is a ton more fun).
Orlando Gold is the oldest club in Florida. It is more than one of the highest producing and respected clubs in the state; we are a family. The OG Foundation will fulfill its mission.
