Mission
The GiveJoy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) seeking to spread joy by providing students and families with resources related to physical health (body), mental wellness (mind), and character development (heart/soul). resources.
Vision
We believe joy is the result of holistic (body, mind, heart/soul) human flourishing. This joy then empowers and guides youth to strong, healthy futures.
What we do
The GiveJoy Foundation creates strategic partnerships to help champion and fulfill our mission. We have partnered with organizations in sectors including sports nutrition, sports apparel, business, philanthropy, and food & beverage. Together we actively work to demonstrate the value of providing developing youth with proper nutrition, medical, movement, and mentoring resources.
In a few shorts years our organization which started as Fit360, an internal philanthropic initiative championed by Nutrabolt has made considerable donations to Bryan ISD. These funds have been used to acquire fitness equipment, provide fitness education programming, and install active learning furniture for schools.

Programs
Joy Grants
Annual grants awarded to schools to provide fitness and nutrition education based programming such as FitFest, 4th Grade Relays, and campus based run clubs. Additionally, grants have been used to purchase fitness equipment, academic learning labs, and active learning furniture for classrooms and libraries.
Movement matters
This campaign promotes the movement of students and families through two key initiatives. First is Run Clubs. GiveJoy provides funding for a run tracking software, hardware, and incentives for campuses. Students are encouraged to accumulate miles each week and are rewarded at their campus and provided entry into external community races. Second is PE Bags. These are sponsored duffle bags containing activity equipment like frisbees, jump ropes, and balls. The bags are awarded to a different student each weekend. Students and families are tasked with creating their own fun activity and recording it in a shared journal.
RISE MENTORING

Students and mentors meet for 1 hour every week to connect. Our goal is to reach, inspire, support, and encourage these children to meet their full potential.
