"Eagles Youth Partnership helps define the cutting edge in the emerging field of national sports philanthropy. Nowhere have I witnessed more compelling examples of the strategic use of a professional sports team's assets than in the direct programming offered by EYP - its Eye Mobile, its Book Mobile, its playground construction throughout Philadelphia, and more..."

OUR ORGANIZATION

Eagles Youth Partnership (EYP) was founded in 1995 as a 501(c)(3) public charity. Eagles Youth Partnership serves over 50,000 low income children in the Greater Philadelphia region every year with a focus on health and education programming. EYP takes its services directly to kids at their schools and in their neighborhoods. These mobile services - the Eagles Eye Mobile and Eagles Book Mobile programs - are like wings on wheels, blending celebrity with fun in order to reach the hardest to reach children. The organization is also known for its annual playground builds and a variety of other programs and events.

The Philadelphia Eagles Football Club is Eagles Youth Partnership's largest funder. The Eagles also donate free office space at the NovaCare Complex, staff support and other resources. Corporate, foundation and individual donors join to support Eagles Youth Partnership's efforts too. And there is both room - and need! - for you!

OUR STRATEGY

Eagles Youth Partnership teams the resources of our corporate and non-profit partners with the star power of the Eagles organization and its players to:

 

  • Capture the attention of young people;
  • Improve attitudes about learning and healthy lifestyles; and
  • Deliver critical services to those school-aged youth who would be difficult to reach without the leverage of the football team.
